Abstract
This case study will focus on the adoption of a discovery tool at the Seminole State College of Florida Library. Our transition began in May 2011, with the release of the College Center for Library Automation (CCLA) Primo beta test site. Included is information on the introduction of the discovery tool to the library and college, how it was promoted, and its impact on the library's research and instructional support for students. We also share the protocols that we adopted, what we learned, the results of our user survey, and what we would do differently.
