What is Primo VE

OU Library Search, Primo VE platform
The Open University Library Search platform, Primo VE

Primo VE is a search tool that helps people find resources. It combines the library’s physical and electronic inventory and gives access to community resources and resource sharing.

This system is made by a company called Ex Libris, which is part of Proquest. It works together with another system they make called Alma.

Users see a search box, filters, a list of results, and various details depending on whether they browse the brief records or explore the full record of a specific item. 

We can change the words, labels, colours, and other visual elements on Primo VE to make it easier for everyone to use.

In this course, you will explore the ways that Primo VE must be accessibility compliant and what you can do to ensure that it is.
