Primo @ KU
- 1. : how we utilise Primo as a resource discovery tool London E-resources Group, 29 June 2012
- 2. ExLibris products @ KU Aleph - LMS Primo – resource discovery tool SFX – knowledge base/link resolver Metalib – A-Z list databases Ustats – usage statistics Verde - ERM bX – article recommender ARC – reporting tool for Aleph
- 3. Our Primo front-end: “iCat”
- 4. iCat access to databases
- 5. iCat with database search
- 6. iCat access to full-text articles
- 7. Choices … How to incorporate our e-journals into Primo Looking forward to e-books (also now harvested from SFX into Primo) Whether to have a Metalib public interface Whether to provide database and e-journal A-Z Working with Primo Central (index of articles, chapters, reviews) User education / rankings / formats
- 8. Decisions … Harvest records daily from SFX (e-journals and e- books) into Primo Do not use Metalib ‘v’ interface, or quick sets as a search choice in Primo Database A-Z through Metalib; e-journal A-Z through SFX Set up Primo to only show results with full-text Use ranking to boost our own print book records
- 9. Technical issues … Access to ‘My Account’ for our staff and students is through Shibboleth; for external members with their username and library PIN In theory allows single sign on to e-resources (but not always – we use Shibboleth, Open Athens, EZProxy) Harvest data from our repository (E-prints) by OAI Mobile view for searching (but not account view) http://icat.kingston.ac.uk
