1. Permit creation of a stable URL that would lead to a simple search with all records limited by any facets, e.g., location.

   We'd like to create stable links to entire collections for use on our website, guides and course shells. For example, a link that leads to all records with a given location.

   This is currently possible for Advanced Search with a pre-filter. But users are distracted by Advanced Search's space and complexity, which pushes the results down the page. And if there are multiple languages or material types, the pre-filters would be overly restrictive.

2. Show both in-text and reference citation formats for APA 7

   With version 7 of the American Psychological Association (APA 7) citation format, there are two formats: one for in-text and one for reference citations.

   The first (in-text) is to be used within the body of the text; the second (reference) is to be used in a bibliography.

   There are differences between the two styles. For more information on the differences, please see https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations and https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references.

   It looks like when Primo uses the Citation Style Language (CSL) Repository (https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles) to add styles, it only picks up the In-text format citation from the APA 7 definition on the CSL Repository, and not the Reference format citation.

   Both formats seem to be documented in the same CSL Repository APA 7 definition (https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/apa.csl).

   Ideally, the Primo UI should bring both into the Citation tool, as students and researchers use both formats. Allowing them to choose between 'APA 7 In-text' and 'APA 7 Reference' will benefit them.

   Include the DOI in the BibTex export from Primo

   Would it be possible to add the doi field? I know doi isn't a standard field in BibTex, however it would be very useful and is requested by our users.

4. Several items in a single request

   In the current context of global health crisis and containment, many of our libraries can only offer Click&Collect service for physical documentation access. Then, it seems critical to make the request service evolve in Primo (and Alma for the tracking).
   Indeed, a reader who wants to request several documents must do so one by one from the bibliographic record by selecting the "pickup location", possibly a "start date", an "end date" and a "comment".
   Couldn't you consider the possibility of creating a basket and then being able to request the entire basket at once?
   Thanks

   This new demand could also help to resolve this existing demand:

5. Add “Request another item”, “Check current requests” and “Close” options to “Request placed” page

   See the current Request placed page display attached. Add “Request another item”, “Check current requests” and “Close” options to the “Request placed” page that displays after a Primo Resource Sharing request has been placed. Also, add the ability to customise the link text, add explanatory text and generally customise the page. Our clients sometimes need to create several requests at the same time. Currently the required navigation back to the request form is not obvious. The end user must know to close the current browser tab or select the original Primo tab to the left and then re-select the Interlibrary Loans link from the main menu. The ability to seamlessly access the request form would minimise confusion and save time. The ability to immediately access the myLibrary Requests tab to check which requests have been placed and their statuses is also desirable. Currently if the end user wishes to return to Primo s/he must either close the current browser tab or select the original Primo tab to the left. The ability to select a “Close” link on the page would provide a superior user experience. The current “Request placed” message that displays at the top of the page can be overlooked while the rest of the display is empty. The ability to customise the request placed text, links text, to add explanatory text and to make CSS changes would allow us to maximise the user experience

6. Add an attachment icon picture besides the item of the attachment.

   Add an attachment icon picture besides the item of the attachment.

   In Primo, readers often can not distinguish the difference of the book and the attachment of the book(ex: CD-ROM). So readers often request the barcode number of the attachment of the book first wrongly, and then find that they really want to request the book instead of the attachment of book(CD-ROM). I suggest the system can show an attachment icon picture(Ex: paper clip) besides the item of the attachment. It can help readers distinguish the types of the items(book or CD-ROM attachment) quickly and request the types of the items correctly.

7. Transformation routine to convert number range to list

   Have a transformation routine that will convert a range of numbers to a list. For example

   input: 3-8
   output: 3,4,5,6,7,8

   This would be very helpful in the search section, as users often search for a series and volume number, but if the series number is in a range they won't find it. E.g., this search will fail

   Series entry:
   The big series, v.24-35

   user search:
   big series 31

   With the new transformation, the search section of the pnx would have
   The big series, v.24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35
   and the search would work.

8. Label distribution per row

   In consortial environment there is the option to distibute labels from the Network to the Institutions. At the moment the distribution is only possible per table. In case a table is updated by functionality, the distribution deletes the displayed labels.
   We would like to have the option to distribute labels per row: this would give the possibility to the Institutions to receive the updates from the Network avoiding overwriting issues and increase the possibility to distribute a label in case a table has been customized locally.

9. Index local in Advanced search

   We have a local index with a closed list of values and we would like to present only this list of values to users doing an advanced search.

   An example with the local index "Original language" based on the 905 field. This field contains three possible values: Yes, No, Bilingual.

   We would like for an advanced search, when the user chooses the Original Language index, to present the closed list that shows three possible values: Yes No Bilingual

11. Support of CRediT - the Contributors Role Taxonomy within the article and local indexes

    120 journals are now fully supporting this NISO standard (NISO Z39.104-2022) for authorship and roles (https://www.niso.org/standards-committees/credit). We believe this emerging standard will allow additional search functionality for authors who have played different roles within the construction of the scholarly article. Over 50 publishers have adopted this taxonomy across their publications (Elsevier, etc.)

12. Publish synonym list for hosted non-VE customers in Primo documentation

    It was announced in the Primo mailing lists during August 2021 that the list of synonyms for Primo VE had now been added to the documentation page.

    The equivalent documentation for non-VE Primo customers such as us is at:

    https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Product_Documentation/Primo/Technical_Guide/120Linguistic_Features/040Synonyms#ww1052488

    As hosted customers, however, we still can't see the contents of the synonym files as described, as we don't have that sort of server level access. Therefore we are unable to determine:

    (i) whether the non-VE synonym list bears direct comparison to the VE list,

    (ii) if it does not, where the differences lie.

    Significant staff time is taken up raising synonym-related cases that turn out to be fools' errands and could be made more focussed, or even not need raising at all, were the non-VE list made visible.

    The absolute ideal would be for the ranking power - from Very High to Very Low - for each synonym to be published as well.

13. display logic should allow us to block Resource Sharing Request if the item is an ebook

    As more and more ebooks are offered and indexed in CDI, we need a way to block the UW Request from showing for these. At this time Resource sharing is not equipped to handle the loaning of entire ebooks. So we need users to use different options and unfortunately we do not have a way to block the RS request when an item is an ebook

14. citation linker - highlight required fields

    I'm suggesting an out of the box configuration option to highlight the required fields in the citation linker. I have adjusted the text, to let our users know that an identifier is required but the text can easily be missed. We recently migrated to Alma/Primo VE and when we had 360/Summon, we were able to highlight the required fields in the citation linker. I am investigating CSS customization options.

17. Allow custom error pages if View Code does not exist

    Currently any unkown View Code in the URL (e.G: vid=PRIMA) leads to empty page and rotating diamonds.

    In the background Angular is unable to fetch the configuration URL /primo_library/libweb/webservices/rest/v1/configuration/PRIMA which is answered by an HTTP 406 error from the server.

    To the enduser its completely unclear where the problem is located, did she/he make a mistake or is there a problem on the server.

    I would suggest to provide at least generic error page (View Code not found) and respond by HTTP 404 or 406 to the client. This is also important for search engine crawlers if there are any outdated permalinks on websites.

    For mulittenant and local installations it would be great if this can be customized at installation level.

    Thanks

19. Ability to merge local data with cdi records

    We currently export Imperial Open Access Spiral material to CDI and Primo VE. This means in Primo VE we show duplicate records for all our Open Access Spiral Records. One from the local source and one from CDI. This is not the best user experience. It is also confusing for library staff working on Spiral Records in Primo VE.

20. Citation Linker: support DOI link format

    The Citation Linker doesn't currently support lookup of citation data using a DOI if a user has entered the DOI as a link, e.g. https://doi.org/10.1111/123456789.
    This only works if the user enters the traditional form 10.1111/123456789.

    As the current guidelines from Crossref (https://www.crossref.org/education/metadata/persistent-identifiers/doi-display-guidelines/) are to always display DOIs as a link, many publishers now use this format. For maximum compatibility, the Citation Linker should be able to interpret DOIs in this form.
