  1. Have Available status in Primo be variable so that it shows Recently Returned for 24 hours and then automatically changes to Available

    Currently there is a single code table label showing an Available status. Having the option to configure a label of Recently Returned that would display for 24 or 48 hours and then automatically change to Available would more accurately tell the patron and staff twhere an item might be.

  2. Feature in advanced search to retrieve all records in a certain language

    It should be possible in advanced search to choose a language and submit search and get all books in that language without having to write a word to search. As it works now it's impossible to retrieve exactly ALL books in a language in one result list. Check this feature in Libris: http://libris.kb.se/form_extended.jsp?f=ext

  3. New UI - allow full results to be opened in a new tab

    In the old interface and in summon it is possible to open full details pages in a new tab while keeping the full results list open.

    In the new ui this is not possible. As one of our academics says
    "I prefer to review the results page first, opening potentially useful results in new tabs (using 'ctrl+click' ) so that they load 'in the background'. Then I can review each tab without disrupting the original search results (and come back to them later if necessary). "

    In the new UI the full record opens over the results list and has…

    When user inputs a wrong primo URL such as: http://discovery.lib.shanghaitech.edu.cn:1701/primo_library/libweb/uploaded_files/shtech/index.php?s=captcha

    By now Primo displays a messy page(See attachment)

    We would like to see a more friendly ERROR message page without the messy information

  7. seperate 'my favorites' from search history

    Please separate 'my favorites' from the search history. users dont think to look under my favorites for search history and the title hierarchy does not make sense. My favorites should go to pinned items and a separate tab should exist for search history.

  8. Overdue notices from Alma in Primo

    In the mouse-over appearing in My loans above ‘not renewable’ a user sees all overdue notices that he/she has received for that specific item.
    For instance when the user gets the fourth overdue notice he/she also sees the third and the second one in the small mouse-over text.

    For a better readability we’d like only the most recent notice to appear in the mouse-over.

  9. Primo alerts - user defined frequency and digest options

    Based on user suggestions, it would be helpful if, when users set themselves an alert for a saved search, they could choose the frequency with which these came through.

    Some users might want them more/less than weekly.

    Also, perhaps users could also choose to receive the alerts in a digest form: with the update for every search bundled into one email.

  10. Allow Primo users to report inaccurate metadata on a record directly to Ex Libris

    We've had several cases where metadata was incorrect in a Primo record. The user (in several occasions the author of the article) reported the issue to their library, who reported it to us (BIBSYS consortium), and we reported this to Ex Libris.

    Once the issue was fixed, after quite some time, the feedback followed the same road, back to the user.

    It would be more efficient if metadata issues could be reported directly to the instance actually able to correct them, which is Ex Libris.

    The issue would be reported directly by the user in Primo/a salesforce case would be…

  11. Custom location order in brief results list

    Where there are multiple records for the same holding within our institution, we would like to configure the order of locations in the brief results. Patrons could then see the circulating items first, rather than non-circulating items, reducing confusion and wasted time.

    This is similar to #32961133, "Ability to select which location appears first." The resulting Location Ordering Profile allows us to set a custom order within a single record, which is very helpful. But it does not solve the problem where there are multiple records.

  12. Share on social media: add Mastodon and Bluesky

    Share on social media from full title display:

    Please add Mastodon and Bluesky as options.

    Can't speak for Threads as that's blocked in Europe, but would probably make sense to add it at the same time.

  14. Primo New UI - EBSCO API - filter out no-full-text Item

    We have set up a mixed search results of Primo PCI and EBSCO API. In the Primo new UI, The search results are supposed to show only full-text available materials. But we found some result items of EBCSO API are without full-text. We would like to the results items without full-text from EBSCO API be removed in the new UI in a full-text search while the no-full-text item be shown after clicked "Expand beyond library collections" . See the attachment "PCI&EBSCIAPIMixingProblem.docx" for details

  17. Show "multiple sources" in PCI records, instead of hiding the field

    When more sources provide PCI with the description for the same bibliographic entity, in Primo Details tab no source is specified.
    If the library doesn't have access to all the involved sources, the field is missing and no "View all versions" link is available.
    A compromise could be to always show Source: multiple sources or something like that, instead of totally suppressing the field.

  18. Filter out the default search result titles with the status "Citation Available" which don't have full text available under PCI

    We expect the default search results of PCI contain full text titles only. But we found there are result titles which don't have full text with the status "citation available" (e.g. in the collection RAMBI, http://www.lib.ouhk.edu.hk/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=TN_rambi000465453&context=PC&vid=ouhk&lang=en_US&search_scope=pc_gs_ebook_ebsco_scope&adaptor=primo_central_multiple_fe&tab=pga_tab&query=any,contains,RAMBI&sortby=rank&facet=domain,include,RAMBI%20-%20%D7%A8%D7%9E%D7%91%27%27%D7%99&offset=0). We hope the no-full-text titles be filtered out.

  19. marcit loads of e-journals should have a peer-reviewed/open-access subfield

    Since there is no sfx ideas exchange, I will post this idea here since there is no trigger/flag for open access or peer-reviewed as part of the MARCIt profile. This would be helpful for journal loads. Seems to me that if you're sitting on the article data, you might be able to flag the journal record within the marcit profile, no?

    Thanks,
    Allen

  20. Ability to set the primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/ url to redirect to default view.

    Currently the / url either errors out or redirects to alma. Since many users just go to the root url it would be great to have this redirect to the default view
