<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings, Directors –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am pleased to inform you that Ex Libris Primo has been confirmed as the discovery layer of choice for LMDC libraries. This is the first step toward realizing the vision LMDC adopted at Clark College one year ago and represents a significant
accomplishment for LMDC. At an online meeting this morning participants from LMDC reviewed the background and process for this decision, LMDC’s requirements for a discovery layer, how Primo satisfies those requirements, and how it differs from other products.
The meeting ended with an opportunity for comments, questions and concerns. Members of the LMDC Platform Working Group were in attendance to gather that input. Immediately after the meeting, the working group met to consider input from individual conversations
with directors which took place last week and the input from this morning’s meeting. Following the charge and authority provided by LMDC, the working group then confirmed Ex Libris Primo as the discovery layer of choice.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the request of the attendees, the agenda for this morning’s meeting included some educational content regarding contemporary library systems. That material is attached for your review. Early next week I will provide a narrated version
of the slide deck illustrated with screen shots of an existing Primo implementation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a group that still doesn’t really have a name, has included at least one-third of the LMDC membership at various points and has collaborated brilliantly with the LMDC and ORCA executive committees, state board staff and LMDC faculty
and staff. My thanks to a group of intrepid people who have worked hard, trusted, waited, stretched, and provided honest, critical insights at every turn.<o:p></o:p></p>
