Add electronic collection details to the Alma publishing
Currently both physical and digital collections are published to Primo. Because of this these data elements can be added to the display sections of the Primo UI including the collections facets (courtesy of the Primo back office rules).
Similarly the collection name is published to Primo Central and therefore can be included in the collections facet and full display Details section.
Note: The publishing should also include details showing whether the resource is a Community Zone resource or not. (It may be desirable to only include non-Community Zone collections in the Primo displays as the PCI collections is already displayed).
Use cases:
1. Currently our Primo collections facet includes Alma physical and digital collections values and PCI collections values however the Alma electronic collections are missing.
For consistency if should also be optionally possible to include the electronic name in the collections facet.
2. Setup the Alma electronic collection to be included in the Primo display and search fields.
3. Ability to publish the electronic collection for third party products such as Unstacked.

We would like to be able to add the electronic collection as a facet on Primo search results page -- so users can exclude items in a particular collection they don't have access to from their results. There is currently no way to do this precisely.
The workaround proposed by Ex Libris is to use a norm rule to add the name of the electronic collection (Collection A) into the bibliographic record, and then create a facet that can filter on this field. However, if a user then excludes Collection A from their search results, they will be excluding at the bibliographic level, and will exclude ebooks that are available in both Collection A and Collection B (to which they do have access).
