CHANGES IN THE NEW PRIMO WITH ALMATerri Muraski, UW Stevens Point

Katie Sanders, UW Colleges

Come gather 'round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you

Is worth savin'

Then you better start swimmin'

Or you'll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin'.

~ Bob Dylan, The Times they are a Changin’

PRIMO PREVIEW

DIGITAL COLLECTIONS Live as of Tuesday –

Haven’t really changed much but want to make sure it is all there.

Discovery and Digital are discussing getting rid of the Get IT tab for Digital Objects

RESOURCE SHARING – BIG CHANGE Discovery Team is working on relabeling with Exlibris

Users will not select which copy they get, like they did in Primo with Voyager – Primo with Alma uses the preferred rota list to find the closest item available.

In the future the last option in the rota could be listed as ILLiad to aid the user
