CUNEF Library has implemented Alma and Primo, a unified solution by Ex Libris Group for the management and discovery of library resources and other external content.
Alma is a unified library management system that manages print, electronic, and digital materials in a single interface.
Primo streamlines the display of the library’s collections and provides intuitive ways to explore new content, giving students and researchers quick and easy access to scholarly materials.
It gives users access to a wealth of scholarly materials and the most relevant mix of resources related to their research in a single search interface, anytime, and from any device. This tool, designed to enable fortuitous discovery, aims to go beyond specific information searches.
It seeks to meet users’ multiple needs: from searching for specific documents to requesting a wide range of materials, including the most recent content on a specific subject. Primo aims to be an intelligent search tool that enables users to find information that pushes their research in new directions by consolidating, combining, and correlating data from multiple sources. It exposes the relationships between resources and suggests relevant materials, helping researchers discover new connections and insights efficiently.
