Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has announced that the North American Primo community is continuing to expand rapidly. Numerous research institutions have opted for locally hosted or cloud-based implementations of the Primo discovery and delivery solution.
Academic institutions in North America that have recently selected Primo and the Primo Central Index include Boston University; Purdue University; Texas A&M University; Texas Woman's University; Tulane University; University of Alberta; University of Kansas; University of Texas at Dallas; and Virginia Commonwealth University.
Among the several factors involved in enabling users to carry out high-quality research are information literacy, individual guidance by librarians, and extensive collection development on the part of the library. Recently, members of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) in North America have been adopting new approaches to set up researchers for success.
Offered as a cloud-based service to hundreds of libraries around the globe, the Primo Central Index covers hundreds of millions of scholarly resources from leading information providers. Primo Central is an integral part of the Ex Libris Primo discovery and delivery solution, which enables library users to enjoy the full benefit of a one-stop service for their information needs and to explore their library's locally managed collections along with global and regional resources from the Primo Central Index.
