2.0 Library Catalog AlphaSearch
The Vanderbilt University Libraries have worked with Ex Libris for the past year as a development partner to create a next generation discovery tool called Primo, which works in conjunction with the library catalog.
This new tool features clustered search results by topic, creator, library collection, creation date, resource type, language, LCC Classification, and genre. It also presents results ranked by relevancy, suggests similar items and suggested new searches. The catalog also allows for user tagging and patron reviews and search queries may be saved via RSS feeds. Although other universities are working with Ex Libris, the Vanderbilt University’s AlphaSearch is the first time that the Primo product has been made available to the public.
