Library solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has announced the general release of version 2.1 of the Primo discovery and delivery solution. New functionality contained in version 2.1 is a result of continued collaboration with the international Primo user community, currently over 100 strong, spanning 15 countries and four continents, and growing rapidly.
Highlights of the latest version include enhanced user interface customisation options; increased front end functionality; enhanced availability information; extended enrichment features; and Ex Libris open platform. The ability to configure the tiles' location in Primo's user interface as well as the ability to add customer defined tiles will be a particularly valuable enhancement for users.
Primo is claimed to be a one-stop solution for the discovery and delivery of local and remote resources, such as books, journal articles and digital objects. It assists libraries in fully utilising their collections and offering users an up-to-date discovery and delivery experience. Primo services can be embedded in commonly used applications such as course management systems and institutional portals, helping library serve users wherever they are.
