What are the relationships between Primo and MetaLib? Why would a library need both?
The information universe relevant to library users comprises both local resources, such as the library catalog and digital collections, and remote resources, such as abstracting and indexing databases or e-journal collections. Primo enables discovery of all types of resources by bringing together relevant technologies. While Primo harvests and indexes local data and other harvestable resources through its publishing platform, it enables the discovery of remote resources through metasearching.
