[Wactclc-primo] Primo May 2019 Release is now available

[Guidry, Wade]

I’m sure all of the locally hosted Primo instances are in legacy environments.

I’m sure ExL stopped allowing self-hosting for new customers a while back. Not sure when.

Unrelated, but locally-hosted Primos are INCREDIBLY discouraged by Ex Libris. I honestly have only met one site that has one, and I can't even remember their name...

On top of the administrative and technical cost, they don't even get REST API access. Wade, do you know if ExL even allows new customers on VE to be self-hosted? I know OCLC nixed that with ILLiad back in the day.

Thanks for the question, Traci.

As noted in the original msg from Ex Libris, Primo updates for cloud customers (like us, and I believe all Alma / Primo sites) are handled by Ex Libris, and don’t require any customer intervention.

This message applies only to customers that still host Primo locally. That would include some sites that run Primo on top of some other ILS besides Alma.

Hi Wade,

Do we need to do anything about downloading the service pack? Doesn’t ExLibris do this automatically?

Thanks,
Traci
