Primo 2021 enhancements timeline

It is time for our members to get all your requests in for the 2021 Primo enhancements round.

See Primo enhancements for a log of all the great Primo product development outcomes achieved in recent years, as a result of this collaborative enhancement process between Ex Libris Primo Product Management and our active member community.

Update 12.3.2021: The following dates have been adjusted for Round 1 voting onwards, for 3 weeks instead of 2. This allows time for Easter observance and re-aligns with a similar change to the Alma 2021 timeline.

The schedule for this year’s process:
