IGeLU 2025

Conference

In 2015, Seoul National University Library introduced Alma and Primo to Korea for the first time. This year, we have joined the IGeLU community as Korea’s first and only member. As a minority user group within IGeLU, we aim to bring our perspectives and insights into discussions.

The initial adoption and implementation of Ex Libris solutions in Korea posed significant challenges due to cultural and linguistic differences from the majority of Ex Libris users. However, through close collaboration with Ex Libris Korea and the adaptive development of customizations for Korean users, we have made meaningful progress.

We would like to share some of our Primo customizations designed to enhance the user experience and satisfaction of Korean users, including call number SMS notifications, a Bento-style preliminary search results page using the Primo API, and a few refinements.
