Please add the ability to use the facets for Archival Materials according to LDR pos. 8 = a
Hello,
Most archival materials are cataloged as follows:
LDR pos. 6 = p
LDR pos. 8 = a
Currently, the facet in Alma show these kind of materials as "Undefined".
Adding a facet of "Achieve Material" according to LDR pos.8 = a, would be very useful.
Thanks.

Hi. 1. Are you stating that you want a new “Resource Type”?
2. The definitions of the resource types are explained in the table titled “Rules Used to Create the Resource Type Field – MARC 21/KORMARC and UNIMARC” at https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/010Getting_Started/050Alma_User_Interface_%E2%80%93_General_Information/Searching_in_Alma#The_Resource_Type_Field
3. Do you want a new row in this table which would be as follows?
Archival materials. LDR pos. 8 = a
4. The table is read top to bottom and as soon as match is found it stops. Where in the table would you like this new row to appear?
5. How come the title of this suggestion states “LDR pos. 8 = a” but the comment from Feb. 2 also has “LDR pos. 6 = p”? We do not think “LDR pos. 6 = p” is a good idea. That is used for “mixed materials”. On the other hand “LDR pos. 8 = a” is used for archival material.

Hi Yoel,
Thank you for considering this idea!

Yes, we think it is important to have “Archival Material” in the Facets in Alma (they appear in Primo).

No comment.

I have no objection to have just the LDR pos 8 = “a” as the input to be defined as “Archival Material”, however, please note that in the Primo documentation it says that in order for a record to be defined as “Archival Material” it should have LDR pos 6 = p
https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Product_Documentation/020Primo_VE/Primo_VE_(English)/120Other_Configurations/Mapping_to_the_Display%2C_Facets%2C_and_Search_Sections_in_the_Primo_VE_Record
So, there is a mismatch between the two.
If we want to have a record to be define as Archival Material, we will have to have:
LDR pos 6 = P --> for Primo
LDR pos 8 = a --> for Alma
So anyway the LDR pos 6 should be “p”, unless you decide to change the Primo settings.
4.
It depends if you decide to add LDR pos 6 to the conditions.
It looks like the table is somewhat sorted according to the LDR positions.
If “p” will be part of the condition, I guess it should be one of the lasts, since it check according to the ABC of the LDR (please let me know if this is completely wrong).
5.
See the answer to question 3.Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Thanks,
