  1. Display MARC 250 subfield "b" in "Edition" in the Brief Results List

    Even when a record has 250 subfields a and b, Alma brief results display only subfield $$a with a slash in the Edition field. Alma should also display subfields b according to the MARC21 standard:

  2. Arrange Advanced Search-Add Conditions list in alphabetical order. for Title - Holding - Physical Item

    When using the Repository Search - Advanced Search- Add Conditions either in All Titles Search or Physical Title Search.. It would be much easier to find and select what conditions you need to select if the options were in alphabetical order.

    As part of Alma new UX the Advanced Search has been completely redesigned.
    With the new UX choosing the attribute to search by is much easier – using type ahead, presenting recent attributes that were previously used and also the attributes will be sorted alphabetically per this idea.

  3. Develop a ‘sticky’ last search feature in the Repository search

    We have staff in multiple roles, who use the repository search feature as part of their daily workflow. These staff run many repository searches a day, however, although people within a particular work area routinely use the same search parameters, across different work areas staff use a range of ‘standard’ search parameters.

    We like to request that ExLibris to develop a ‘sticky’ last search feature in the Repository search. This would mean that Alma would ‘remember’ the way the Repository search was last configured, based on the user login. Our idea is that Alma would ‘remember’ a user’s most frequent…

  4. More search indexes in Advanced Search

    Please enable search indexes such as 'Is not empty', 'Not contains', 'Not contains phrase', 'Not equal' search logic to as many search indexes as possible, especially for DC fields of Digital titles.

  5. Staff search – add thumbnail to staff search results

    It will be really nice if the staff search result can display the cover of a book or a journal

  6. Maybe Search indexes is not updated? I want 773 $$t indexed as Title.

    I often check this Help site https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/Alma_Online_Help_%28English%29/Resource_Management/020Using_the_Repository_Search/Search_Indexes
    to check how things are indexed. It looks like 773 $t is indexed as Content related data. Shouldn't it be indexed as Title? I suspect that it is indexed as title, but the information in Search indexes is not correct? Search indexes is very useful, and I would appreciate it updated.

  7. Using best ebook record in community zone

    The ebook CZ records could be a lot better. The EBL records are already better than the CZ records, therefore wouldn't it be great if ProQuest would allow Ex Libris to use these records in the CZ.
