[Poster] Towards a seamless user experience across Primo and LibGuides
Event part
Conference
Abstract
Many university libraries are using both Primo and LibGuides, but by default they do not look alike or might not align with the institution website and overall visual identity.
The users do not need to know what software our digital services are running. They just need to know where to find what they are looking for, that being books, articles, journals or guides or help pages.
The challenge we faced was how to make our website, Primo and LibGuides look similar, when each system has its own default design and limitation to how it can be customised.
We drew inspiration for the styling of UI elements from the new visual identity and design guide our institution got in 2020, that we then implemented in our Primo and LibGuides using Primo Development Environment (https://github.com/ExLibrisGroup/primo-explore-devenv), along with the browser’s inspection tool and a source-code editor.
The poster will show before and after screenshots, as well as examples of how we worked with code files.
