Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has announced that Central Michigan University (CMU) has selected the Primo discovery and delivery solution, with the Primo Central Index of scholarly e‑resources, and the bX Recommender. Primo, which will be deployed as a cloud-based service, will provide the user interface for the university’s Millennium library system.
CMU Libraries carried out an intensive evaluation process before concluding that Primo best meets their requirements, with its powerful relevance ranking, extensive central index, and personalised ranking of the search results, based on the user's academic level and discipline. Among the Primo system's many strengths, library managers welcome its flexibility, which will enable the staff to continually customise and configure the system.
Central Michigan University operates a network of CMU Learning Centers in more than 50 locations throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Currently over 400 programs are offered at the undergraduate, masters, specialist, and doctoral levels, including non-degree certifications.
