DUX WG Open Call: Primo is LIVE! Share your outstanding questions and user feedback, Aug 7, 10AM
Please register for the Discovery and User Experience (DUX) Working Group Open Call on August 7, 10-11AM. Let’s discuss feedback you have received from students, faculty, and staff on using the new system. What are the common issues? Is there confusion over specific features? What positive feedback have you heard? How do you plan to collect and address user feedback as we move forward? Come to our session to discuss these and any other questions you may have as we settle into Primo!
Watch Me Work: ERM WG
The “Watch Me Work” series offers opportunities to observe the work processes of Working Group members. Attendees are encouraged to share their own ideas and knowledge. If you missed the last session organized by the Electronic Resources Management Working Group, you can catch up here.
SearchOhio paused Aug. 1
Just a reminder. For those OhioLINK libraries who have encouraged students and faculty to also utilize local public library collections, SearchOhio, the public library consortium, will be unavailable from Aug 1 through the end of October. The consortium will be implementing an upgrade to its consortial borrowing software. Students and faculty with questions should contact their preferred public library’s circulation desk for assistance.
Ongoing call for crowdsourced content
Even though we’re live, let’s continue to work together to help the entire OhioLINK community by crowdsourcing Alma/Primo/Rapido training, documentation and communication materials and Primo VE code and customizations. Check out what’s been contributed here.
