  1. Make Public Note of a Representation Translatable

    The public note of a representation is not translatable. This would be useful for following use cases:

    • The library wants to offer high-resolution digital reproductions of individual files from representations on demand.
    • The library wants to comment on the quality of files from a representations (eg. not OCRed).
    • The library wants to inform, that the digital files does not contain complete content, etc.

    By now following components in relation with digital content are translatable :

    Accepted  ·  AdminDaniel Greenberg (Product Manager, Ex Libris) responded

    As part of the transition to new UI concepts in Alma, search results in Alma will include list actions. Once the search results for files will be implemented, it will include a download action of all / selected files.

  3. 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.

  5. 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.
