Primo VE collaboration with Ex Libris

The collaboration between Ex Libris and members of both the ELUNA and IGeLU Primo PWGs on further PrimoVE development began recently with a teleconference to discuss the implementation of normalization rule functionality in Primo VE.  Discussions are ongoing and we’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important work.

 

Primo Central outage 02/02/18

Both PWGs have been in discussion with Ex Libris about the extended Primo Central outage in early February this year.   Downtime communications strategy and the usefulness of the Ex Libris System Status page are being reviewed and a number of improvements to system robustness are expected in the coming months.  Customers interested in further details of this specific outage should consult the Root Cause Analysis document.
