The 2023 Primo enhancement voting process for round 2 is now complete! More details can be found at the Primo listserv message announcing the results of round 2 of the voting.

The following requests are successful, as the Top 3 ranked and aligning with our 195 available Primo points for 2023:

*Note for #8134 that the ELUNA and IGeLU Primo WG/s will be working with Ex Libris Primo Product Management on the list of labels, per the scoping statement.

We’re happy to note that Ex Libris Primo Product Management agreed to add the following two items to the 2024 Roadmap without requiring any community points:

Rank ID Title Votes Points

The Product Development Collaboration Agreement states that Ex Libris will develop the successful enhancements within one year, which customarily aligns to the IGeLU conference held in September 2024.
