Alma-D 인터페이스 상에서 업로드 가능한 단일 파일 용량을 500MB -> 5GB (AWS 허용 용량) 로 확대
Alma 상의 Digital Uploader 나 Add Digital Representation 에서 업로드 가능한 단일 파일 용량을 500MB -> 5GB (AWS 허용 용량) 로 확대해 주시길 부탁드립니다.
저희는 Alma-D 를 통해 간접적으로 AWS S3 를 이용하고 있는 것인데 AWS S3 가 지원하는 최대 5GB 까지의 업로드 기능을 Alma 에서 제한하는 것을 이해하기 어렵습니다.
또한, 파일과 메타 연결 및 퍼블리싱이라는 Alma 의 기능을 이용하기 위해 Ex Libris 에서 책임지지도 않는 서드파티 툴을 이용해야만 한다는 것 역시 고객에게는 이해가 어려운 부분입니다.
UHD 영상이 범람하는 시대에 500mb 라는 용량 제한(업로드 및 썸네일 생성 등에 동일한 용량 제한 적용되고 있음)은 동영상 콘텐츠의 구축과 활용에 커다란 불편사항이 되고…

DC language values on Alma Viewer
Currently dc:language field values that conform with ISO639-2 are displayed as they are on Alma Viewer metadata section.
These 3-digit codes need to be mapped to their full language names, translated into Primo interface language, and presented on the viewer.0 votes -
Please enable searching by File Name, not only by File Label.
Now I cannot search a file by its File Name, but only by keywords or its Label. File Names are original attribute values, not given additionally like Labels. Please enable searching by File Name too.

Publish Alma-D to Google Scholar
By now it is not possible to publish Alma-D (Bib/Representation/File) to google scholar. There should be an option to publish Alma-D to google scholar at least on a set- or collection level.

Import profiles for dublin core bib update
We can create a repository type import profile to update/remove fields of a set of MARC records or POLs but cannot for DC records. It would be great if we can match and update dublin core bibs by importing an xlsx or xml file.

Digital Fulfillment (circulation and digital rights management)
As more and more of our content becomes digital and created in house, we need a way to circulate the items while maintaining control of how the item is used. For example, checking out a digital book to x users at a time (where x is the number of copies you are allowed to circulate), checking out for a set amount of time, enabling hold queues, preventing copying - all managed within our Alma/Primo system.

Allow batch deletion of digital collections
Batch creation is possible by EAD import, but batch deletion is impossible. Even though batch deletion for a collection with its sub-collections is allowed, there are limitations that the collections should be empty and must be in the same hierarchy. It would be great if I can make a set with the scattered empty collections' PIDs and delete them at once, as long as there is no sub-collection of the to-be-deleted collection.

Publish Alma-D to Google (Fulltext .txt, .pdf) and Google Images (.jpg, .tiff etc.)
Provide option to Publish collection from Alma to Google (files of type .txt, .pdf for full-text indexing by Google) and Google Images (in the case of img formats .jpg, .tiff, etc.)
This is an alternative to Primo discovery layer (Google is moderately popular search engine, Bing and Baidu etc.)
https://images.google.com (or click Images tab in Google) show photos and thumbnails from all over the Internet, and Google allow you to upload an image and search where it came from or similar images which may be helpful to publish/assert the origins of a file.

Thumbnail selection job for collection lobby
Alma can create a thumbnail for digital files but it can't do it for collections. It is not efficient to select or upload each thumbnail manually for many collections. It would be helpful if there is a job that Alma selects the first or any random image from the files in the collections and show it as the thumbnail of the collection on Primo.

Create or modify XMP, IPCT or Exif metadata of digital assets in batch
The owner or copyright statement in the XMP, IPCT or Exif metadata of a digital object stored in Alma can change. If this happens, you need to export the digital Objects like PDFs or images change the XMP, IPCT or Exif metadata and reimport the assets. By consequence, the docid changes and permalinks to these images are not valid anymore.
It would be useful, if Alma could create or modify XMP, IPCT or Exif metadata of digital assets stored in the AWS cloud in bulk.5 votes -
Selecting/deselecting multiple sets for OAI harvest
The configuration of the digital collections import profile allows you to declare sets, but the only current options seem to be to harvest all sets or to harvest single sets individually. There's no way to CTRL-Click to include multiple sets.
This CTRL-Click functionaity and/or set exclusion should be a feature request. For most collections, we have one or two sets that should be excluded and dozens that should not. Doing dozens of individual harvests is impractical.

Display record format in search results and browse pages
We catalogue Alma-D material in both MARC and DC formats.
We would like an easy way to determine which format a record is in when viewing it from either an Alma results page or browsing through a collection.This could be done with the addition of the record format field to the brief record display.

Reverse sort order option in ALMA for Digital Representation list displayed in Primo for a Bibliographic record
If you attach several Digital Representations to one bibliographic record in ALMA, and each representation has one file attached, then all those Digital Representations (with their file) will be displayed in the U-Resolver display in Primo for the bibliographic record.
In this scenario, there is currently no way in ALMA to alter the sort order of how the Digital Representations display in Primo. The default is alphabetical order, or numeric order. It would be useful to be able to choose reverse alphabetical or numeric order. This would allow a scenario where the year could be placed at the start of…36 votes -
Enhance reporting for digital import profiles to harvest remote repositories
Currently the report generated after a digital import profile to harvest metadata from a remote repository has run is extremely minimal. It just states that a job "completed with errors", see attached file.
I'd like to recommend 3 enhancements. The first is to provide more information about the errors. For example, the harvest failed because the records listed below are invalid. The second recommendation is to provide a maximum error threshold like what is currently available in Primo. Lastly, integrate an option to strip any HTML and escape invalid characters as part of an import profile normalization process.
These enhancements…
