Overview

There are three types of third party integration options potentially available in Primo, those that can be added as options through the Primo Back Office with either local or global affect, those that can be added at the local level to the Primo web interface template, and those that will require software development or programming to integrate with Primo.

Evaluation Committee

Additions to the Primo Back Office and those that require software development will be evaluated monthly by an advisory committee made up of a representative from three four CSU campuses and one representative from the Chancellor’s Office Systemwide Library Services group. Development of 3rd party applications at the local level to the Primo Web Interface, or to locally applied Primo settings will be evaluated by this same group for inclusion in a central repository as a resource.

Requests for additions and submissions to the web repository can be made via a form or as an email.

Decisions

Local Back Office setting options and local web template additions should be communicated immediately to CSU campuses through a code repository, or similar online resource. Decisions regarding global Back Office settings should be made by the Advisory Committee at a monthly meeting, and if accepted implemented at the first opportunity. Decisions regarding additions that require software development to interface with Primo should be made within one month and referred to the CO Systemwide Library Services group for evaluation.
