Migrating Government Publications without Going South: Our Alma/Primo Experience
Product or Program Track
Primo/MetaLib
Session Description
The University of Denver launched its Alma and Primo instance in June 2016. Our initial concern was smooth operation of circulation with the high-use book collection. As time went by, we needed to address a more hidden part of our library, the government publications. With 100% of government publications off-site in remote storage, we rely on the library catalog completely to know what we have. We also have a substantial number of links to online government content, both free content and vendor-supplied content. How we dealt with two issues will be addressed in this presentation: How to browse government publications in a Primo environment when they are completely off-site; how to provide access to online government publications in a Primo environment, since all new documents records are for online format, not print.
