Abstract

Primo is one of many tools available to discover content, and it's one of the few which libraries have some power to control. Primo needs to be many things: a starting point for a first year undergraduate, a deep exploration for a seasoned researcher, and a quick access pathway for all. Each user may have very different needs and expectations from their top Primo results. How do we really know how effective Primo is for each user when the results can seem to be drawn mysteriously from a magical ‘black box’? This presentation seeks to demystify the box by analysing the top 100 searches in 2017 and 2018 for the University of Queensland Library, by Popular Search subject area in Primo Analytics and also Google Analytics. It will cover assessment of raw data findings, analysis of results grouped by known item versus topic searches, exploration of the available boosting options, as well as detailing successful and unsuccessful attempts to improve ranking outcomes.
