Highlighting library collections: using Alma and Primo to showcase special collections at the Sciences Po library
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The Sciences Po Library has gradually developed a consistent set of actions aimed at increasing the awareness and use of its physical, electronic, and digital resources, a great ambition given that the vast majority of its collections are kept in closed storage facilities. Apart from physical exhibitions and displays, most of the initiatives are online through the library's website and extended through LibGuides curated by subject librarians, which the library launched in 2015. In 2020, the migration to Alma and Primo offered new possibilities and encouraged staff to introduce new features and redesign old ones. This presentation is part of the CIVICA Cafés programme, a series of online events organised by the Librarians' Community of Practice of the CIVICA European University Alliance. The aim of these events is to present a topic or issue related to one of the Alliance's partner libraries and to encourage exchange with library participants based on their own experiences and questions.
