ExLibris products @ KUAleph - LMSPrimo – resource discovery toolSFX – knowledge base/link resolverMetalib – A-Z list databasesUstats – usage statisticsVerde - ERMbX – article recommenderARC – reporting tool for Aleph
Our Primo front-end: “iCat”
iCat access to databases
iCat with database search
iCat access to full-text articles
Choices …How to incorporate our e-journals into PrimoLooking forward to e-books (also now
harvested from SFX into Primo)Whether to have a Metalib public interfaceWhether to provide database and e-journal A-
ZWorking with Primo Central (index of
articles, chapters, reviews)User education / rankings / formats
Decisions …Harvest records daily from SFX (e-journals
and e-books) into PrimoDo not use Metalib ‘v’ interface, or quick sets
as a search choice in PrimoDatabase A-Z through Metalib; e-journal A-Z
through SFX Set up Primo to only show results with full-
textUse ranking to boost our own print book
records
Technical issues …Access to ‘My Account’ for our staff and students
is through Shibboleth; for external members with their username and library PIN
In theory allows single sign on to e-resources (but not always – we use Shibboleth, Open Athens, EZProxy)
Harvest data from our repository (E-prints) by OAI
Mobile view for searching (but not account view)
