Tips for submitting NERS enhancement requests

The 2023 Primo request submission period ended January 28, 2023, but you can still submit requests for next year’s cycle.

The 2023 Primo enhancement voting process for round 1 has completed! More details can be found at the PRIMO-L listserv message announcing the results of round 1 of the voting. We are currently in the “Ex Libris pointing phase”, which runs from April 7 – June 1, 2023. This is where “Ex Libris assigns development points and the Enhancements Team determines if a second round of voting is needed, such as if there is doubt over community preference with rejected requests or no clean alignment of assigned points for top submissions against the available points”. If a second round of voting is needed, it will be announced here and the listserv.
