Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris® Group has announced the adoption of Primo® and the Primo Central Index by the European University Institute (EUI) in Fiesole, Italy.
Seeking a solution that would offer users a unified search interface for the school's wealth of specialized resources, which include an official depository of European Union publications and documents, the Institute found that Primo and the Primo Central Index met the library's requirements. Along with the system's customisation capabilities, the ease of a cloud-based solution made Primo the most suitable option for the EUI. The cloud deployment will spare the Institute's staff members the burden of maintenance while also enabling them to modify many aspects of the system.
According to Tommaso Giordano, Director of EUI Library, the extensive electronic collections indexed in Primo Central, together with the presence of a support structure in Europe, played a key role in EUI Library's decision to adopt Primo. In addition, some of the features in the back office for managing Primo played an important role in the decision.
