In order to promote best practices and address the findings of CSU usability testing of Primo, the Chancellor's Office has developed a Central Package – a shared set of CSS, Javascript, and images – and a recommended set of scope and label configurations for Primo.  Campuses can override or choose to opt out of any of the following recommendations.

Bug and enhancement requests for the Central Package can be found on the Github repo.

3.

Configuration

Standard scope labels. Campuses should implement a single, flat set of search scopes (technically implemented as 'tabs' in the back office). This can include any local scopes designed by the campus, but also the following standard scopes. In all examples CSUEB is a fill-in for your campus' initials or short name.

Those who have chosen Rec. 2 should use:

  • Everything

  • Articles

  • Books & Media (CSUEB)

  • Books & Media (all CSU)

  • Reserves (CSUEB)

Those who have chosen Rec. 2a should use:

  • CSUEB collections

  • Articles

  • Books & Media (CSUEB)

  • Books & Media (all CSU)
