Blacklight
As a reminder, Temple University Libraries will transition from Primo to Blacklight for the Library Search on August 13th, 2018 (a week later than the original deadline). Currently, the development team is in the process of finalizing additional features and addressing bugs/issues submitted as feedback in June and July.
Emily Toner is also working with partners from LRS and the Library Administration to create communication and marketing materials for the Blacklight rollout, including FAQ’s and prepared talking points for subject librarians.
Primo
Primo August 2018 release: On August 5, 2018, Primo will be updated by Ex Libris with new improvements and bug fixes. This will feature enhancements to the Primo Central Index (which will continue to be used on a data source for the “Articles Search” in Blacklight), including de-emphasis of book review records in the search results. Refer to the Primo August 2018 Highlights for details.
Please email tul-web-support@temple.edu to submit issues related to the Primo user interface/search, indexing, and related Alma integrations.
