New Library System: Primo VE

The library's upgrade to Alma included a new discovery service called Primo VE. The Primo VE discovery interface allows researchers to "discover" print and electronic resources with a single search, including journal articles from databases. New features include

• Faster searching across resources
• Enhanced discovery: explore automatic recommendations, citation trails exploration tools, availability in multiple formats, and track requests  
• Personalization: save preferences, searches, citations, and citation export
• Mobile friendly
• Columbus State Library, OhioLINK, and interlibrary loan requests all in one place
• Chapter requests (scanned and emailed)

Primo VE provides a more intuitive, enhanced search for all library users. We are confident that this update will positively impact how your students access quality information from the library website.
