Facing the Fear of Normal(ization)
Product or Program Track
Primo/Metalib
Session Description
This presentation will introduce the basics of Primo normalization rules for those Primo back-end users who are new to normalization concepts and may not have a background in systems maintenance or programming. The presentation will give a very brief overview of the purpose of normalization and explain it for a non-technical audience. It will then look at the back-end space where the normalization rules are configured. This area will also be explained for those with a non-technical background. Tips and best practices that I discovered while creating and testing rules will be shared. The core of the presentation will show two or three step-by-step examples of customized normalization rules that enhanced Northeastern University’s Primo. The techniques covered in these rules can be easily applied to the creation of other rules.
