Library solutions provider Ex Libris Group has announced that it has signed an agreement with STM publisher Springer at the ongoing Frankfurt book fair. Under the deal, Springer’s academic journals and e-books will be directly accessible via the Primo Central mega-aggregate of scholarly e-content. Springer, a premier global scientific publisher, is the latest to join the rapidly expanding group of publishers and aggregators who have chosen to make their content accessible to library users via Primo Central - a centralised index of data harvested from primary and secondary publishers and aggregators.
The world-class Primo Central Index is a mega aggregate of scholarly content. Hosted by Ex Libris in a cloud computing environment, Primo Central is vendor-neutral and encompasses scholarly resources from leading information providers.
Coupled with the Primo discovery and delivery solution, library users simultaneously explore the library’s local collections and Primo Central’s extensive global electronic collections, and instantly retrieve accurate, relevance-ranked search results. Ex Libris representatives will be presenting Primo Central at the Frankfurt book fair at hall 4.2, booth L434.
