Enable actions for loans/requests in My Account
Right now in Primo, if you have items checked out at your library, you can't do anything with them in the UI. You can't send to RefWorks, email, etc. Users would like to be able to send these items to citation management tools and they currently can’t do that. From the loan list, there is no link back to the full record.

No way back to original/seed article when using either the new Citations or Cited By buttons
The pages a user reaches when clicking either the new "Citations" or "Cited By" buttons do not provide any way for user to get back to the original/seed article. Making users rely on the browser's back button is not user-friendly.

Improve APA citation format to include the DOI for an article
APA citation format should include the DOI information for journal articles. As recommended by APA.
http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/digital-object-identifier-doi/
However citations from Primo do not include a DOI.
We note that Summon is able to do this and hope that the defect be resolved.

and from Summon

Music Reference Services Quarterly, 15(2), 119. doi:10.1080/10588167.2012.672088126 votesThank you for this idea, with the enhancement of supporting Citation Style Language (CSL) in Primo, the mapping of data was improved. The DOI is included for APA style taken from CSL official repository

Keep search preferences between searches
We find it annoying that facet selections made in a search are lost when a new search is run. (In both Advanced and basic searches)
So for example if I select a library location or if I expand my results for one search, these settings are lost if I change my search terms.
We would like the selections to stay but with an easy way to clear them if desired.

Add "modify search" option to retain facets/filters
Facets used to refine searches must be re-selected if the search keywords are modified. It would help to offer the ability to modify a search while retaining the selected facets.

BibTeX export
Primo only offers one export file format for bibliographies: RIS
Unfortunately not all citation management tools directly support this file format. The users have to use conversion tools.
Therefore please add the very popular BibTeX export file format.52 votesI’m happy to announce that we added this functionality as part of Primo May release
