Blacklight
On June 25th 2018, an updated version of the Blacklight search was released and made publicly available on the library website. Between then and July 13th 2018 (today), the Library Technology Development department asked for input from library staff regarding the updated beta release, so that we can identify critical bugs and future improvements.
Emily Toner is currently working to process that feedback, as the LTD team continues to build critical enhancements for the production release, including request functionality and export features. In order to accomplish our goals, the launch date for Blacklight is now August 13th, 2018 (a week later than the original projection). At that time, we will transition from Primo to Blacklight on the library homepage.
Primo
On August 5, 2018, Primo will be updated by Ex Libris with new improvements and bug fixes. While Primo will no longer as the primary search as of August 13th, it will also continue to be accessible to those who have preexisting links.
Please email tul-web-support@temple.edu to submit issues related to the Primo user interface/search, indexing, and related Alma integrations.
