The Orbis Cascade Alliance has released a Toolkit of customizations for Primo. The Toolkit is hosted on the Alliance's website, and you can access it here: https://www.orbiscascade.org/primo_toolkit The Primo Toolkit Working Group's goal was to create a curated, best-of-breed list of Primo customizations and a guide to using them in your own Primo instance. We've been engaged in this since the fall, and we're very happy to make this available to everyone today. Overall there are 29 items included, running the range from guides to getting started in the Primo Back Office, to how to implement a newly designed sidebar or add a latest articles tab for journal titles. There a lot of amazing customizations included. A few are specific to Alliance institutions, but the concepts and code are available for you to customize to your own needs. Our hope is to maintain the Toolkit over the long run, by adding new customizations and updating the current ones in relation to Primo 5. More info on that to come though, so stay tuned. In the meantime, many, many thanks to the members of the working group for all of their hard work in creating the Toolkit: Nathan Mealey, chair (Portland State University) Stewart Baker (Western Oregon University) Kate Deibel (University of Washington) Doug Eriksen (Seattle University) Dawn Lowe-Wincensten (Oregon Institute of Technology) Lesley Lowery, Discovery & Delivery liaison (Western Washington University) Tamara Marnell (Portland Community College) And an additional big thanks to a few developers who were not on the working group itself, but contributed several customizations: David Bass (Western Washington University) Mike Flakus (Portland State University) Jeremy McWilliams (Lewis & Clark) -- Kate Deibel, PhD | Web Applications Specialist Information Technology Services University of Washington Libraries http://staff.washington.edu/deibel -- "When Thor shows up, it's always deus ex machina."
