Abstract

Vanderbilt University implemented Primo Central™ in early 2010. Although several factors went into the decision to adopt Primo Central™1 early in its development, this chapter focuses on the initial reasons that Vanderbilt considered using Primo Central™, methods used to determine if the service was being used, and challenges encountered, both during implementation and ongoing. The chapter also discusses items that should be considered when subscribing to and implementing the Primo Central™ Index. The last portion of the chapter discusses possible ways Primo Central™ content can be leveraged for future services.
