Semi-Advanced Primo Customisations

Abstract

Often times, we feel stuck accepting a vendor product 'as-is', thinking that we can't make any modifications because we don't have access to all the code. The Tri-University Group of Libraries has integrated a fair number of customisations to improve the Primo experience for users in our consortia. These customisations range from very easy things you can do with CSS changes and changes through the Primo back office, to more advanced modifications, such as creating an external authentication application to make it easy for our consortia partners to accept multiple authentications methods. This presentation will outline these customisations, the rationale behind them, and give you brief glimpses at the code demonstrating how we did it. This presentation is approrpriate for folks who've never done any coding before and for those who code on a daily basis
