Primo: A New User Experience
Product or Program Track
Primo/Metalib
Session Description
User experience (UX) is high on the agenda of most libraries. Libraries strive to increase user engagement, maximize the usage of collections, and support students and researchers in achieving their academic goals. An understanding of library patrons’ needs and the application of modern design principles are essential for providing the intuitive, user-friendly discovery services that users expect. In this session we will look at the new Primo user interface and present some of the new user-centred features, such as the citation trail. We will also discuss some ideas and plans, including a resource recommender tool. We will share some of our ongoing research into serving a diverse user community and enabling discovery in different environments, such as teaching and learning, and research.
