Gartner Group's Summa & Primo assessment - now in English

Gartner Group's comparative assessment of the integrated search systems Summa & Primo is now available in English. Please also find the appendix to the report as well as Gartner Group's answers to the State Library and the Royal Library's comments to the report.

Meeting user expectations for quick, easy, and effective searching and retrieval, Primo and Summa are one-stop solutions for the discovery and delivery of local and remote resources, such as books, journal articles, and digital objects.

Primo and Summa assist libraries in exposing the richness of their collections and engaging users with an up-to-date discovery and delivery experience. Primo and Summa are important stepping stones in the transformation of the library towards a new information system architecture unifying front-end user services and back-end management of all types of library resources, regardless of format and location.

A range of Danish research libraries are increasingly focusing on these integrated search systems, which create common solutions that make it possible to search in any sort of academic content in the google way.
