“Our staff members are thrilled that Idaho State University’s Oboler Library is able to offer the Primo discovery tool to support research and teaching at ISU,” commented Janet Warnke, assistant university librarian for library systems at the university. Ms. Warnke continued: “Our students, faculty, and staff are going to benefit greatly from their ability to access scholarly material through a robust, intuitive user interface. As a Voyager customer for many years, we have been following Ex Libris as it actively participates in shaping the role of technology in libraries. Our decision to embrace Primo over competitors’ products was greatly influenced by our belief that Ex Libris will continue to develop sound solutions that address the ever-changing needs of libraries.”  

Mark Triest, president of Ex Libris North America, remarked: “I’m honored to welcome these diverse institutions to the rapidly growing global Primo community. This is an exciting time for our Primo customers. Building on the Company’s ongoing commitment to openness in all Ex Libris solutions, we are strengthening our strategic partnerships in the discovery arena, as demonstrated by recent agreements with OCLC, Elsevier, and Copyright Clearance Center.”
