1. Enable search and browse also for item call numbers, not only holdings

   Hi

   We switched to Primo VE some months ago and are really missing a call number index that shows all our call numbers, in items as well as in holdings.

   https://slidetodoc.com/three-types-of-call-numbers-in-alma-yoel

   "Item Call Number – is it in Primo VE search indexes?
   • The item call number cannot be added as a Primo VE search index.
   • Of the three call numbers only the “Holding Call Number” can be added as a Primo VE search index."

   Our call number index is set to "callnumber.4 – Shelving control number call number", our item call numbers are type 4, but they are missing in the call number index.

   Can not be found in the call number index under UBH AL VII 42:1993

   We know that it can be done in Alma (see screenshot), but we need the function also in Primo.

   In addition to the index search, please also index the item call numbers for simple and advanced search.

3. Primo Name/Title Browse Searches

   Primo Name/Title Browse Searches

   As frequent Primo users searching for known music items, the Alma Music Users Group would like to propose that Ex Libris create a left-anchored browse search for name/title entries found in bibliographic records. An alphabetical left-anchored browse search is particularly helpful for known-item searches that are often used for music materials and prolific literary authors.

   Currently, Primo provides browse search options for names (name portion only ($a,$q,$d)) and name/title headings used as subjects. For prolific authors, it is not unusual to find thousands of name/title headings lumped under the composers or authors name, with “20+ records” displayed adjacent to the heading. The Primo Browse Search options should include an alphabetical left-anchored “browse” listing for all name/title headings found in bibliographic records.

   The left-anchored browse name/title index search for authorized access points should include the subfields from the 700 name portion of the heading, as well as subfields from the 700 title portion of the heading ($t, $f, $m, $n, $r, $l, $k, $p, $o, $s), displayed in the order in which the fields are transcribed in the bibliographic authorized heading. The browse name/title index should also include the name/title information from the 100/240 fields, including the subfields from the 240 ($f, $m, $n, $r, $l, $k, $p, $o, $s), displayed in the order in which the fields are transcribed in the bibliographic authorized heading. In the event that the 100/240 combination cannot be included as the left-anchored browse search is developed, it is critical that these fields are added as soon as possible.

   In addition to a browse name/title search that retrieves results from the 7xx fields, the subject browse search should include name/title headings used as subject headings found in the 6xx fields.

   The browse indexes should display 4XX and 5XX cross-references and public notes such as the 680 found in authority records. Associated name and title strings must be kept together for both indexing and display. The cross-references are critical in helping the user to find items known by various titles in various languages. The 4xx and 5xx displays should be linked to redirect the patron to the appropriate section in the index.

   Benefit: Without a left-anchored browse search, there are too many false drops and omissions when searching for materials by prolific authors and composers. The left-anchored browse results in a more focused and complete search result, helping the user to quickly find all items with the same authorized access point.

   Attached is an optimal name/title display for the composer Georges Bizet.

4. Can Ex_libris work with publishers to enable OA articles in hybrid journals to be discoverable ?

   Currently if we do not subscribe to a journal (normally a hybrid OA titles) which has open access articles the article access is not discoverable as available during a search of Primo - is there any way to identify these articles as being available ?

5. Include call number for physical items in Excel / CSV Export

   Thank you for adding the option to export results in Primo to Excel and CSV.

   Please could the call number for physical items be added as an extra column in the export. When clients export results from Primo, their intention is also to look for those items that are physical on the shelves and without the call number, they again have to access each record's link to obtain the call number.

8. proximity search operator for fulltext search in Primo Central

   A strong argument for a discovery index compared to a bibliographic database is the incorporation of full text in the index. I have not found an actual number or a percentage how many Primo Central collections are full text searchable. But we all know: it is significant. Since this year all Primo Central searches will always expand to full text.
   https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Knowledge_Articles/Primo_Central_Full-Text_Searching

   The most powerful feature for full text search is proximity.
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_search_(text)

   Aleph was able to support proximity for small hitsets
   https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Aleph/Knowledge_Articles/Proximity_doesn't_work_for_larger_results.

   ... and Summon has a proximity feature
   https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Summon/Product_Documentation/Searching_in_The_Summon_Service/Search_Features/Summon%3A_Boolean%2C_Phrase%2C_Wildcard_and_Proximity_Searching#proximity

   Proximity search is currently not supported nor planned in the Primo/Primo Central roadmap. Although as part of the search engine algorithm the proximity is being calculated and records in which the query words are closer (we call the distance slop) will be rank higher.

   It would be great to add proximity operator to the Primo search syntax and to support proximity search in Primo Central.

9. Allow Primo to comply with the "force password change on next login" setting in Alma for internal users

   Alma has the internal user setting "Force password change on next login". Primo does not comply with this setting, so there is no way to force patrons to change their passwords in Primo. This is problematic, because our internal user accounts have a very insecure default password initially set for them. Please consider implementing this feature for Primo

11. Allow patrons to order a specific item in a fulfillment network

    Hi

    We are in a consortium with a fulfillment network.

    Which in many cases means that the patrons can not pick which copy of a book they want to order.

    While this may make sense as the default (1), it is frustrating for many patrons, myself included.

    • When more than one copy is available, I want to be able to decide which one to get
      
    • When a book is on loan I may prefer to wait for the copy of my favorite library to come back instead of getting the book from somewhere else

    This is especially relevant when I'm in a setting where getting a copy from another library costs me money.

    ---

    The option 'choose specific item' should be available in the full title display (when logged in). If this is not possible, it could be an option in the patron settings.

    ---

    (1) Although it leads to an inconsistent display in Primo VE: sometimes the links for ordering are above the call number, sometimes next to it.

12. Ignore call number prefix (subfield k) when indexing for Call Number Browse

    Primo's browse search "By Library of Congress Call Numbers" includes the call number prefix (holdings record field 852 $k) when generating the browse list. At UGA, we use that prefix for oversize volumes (Folio, Ff), and for a variety of branch locations, special statuses and shelving areas (Juv, Ref, Vet Med, etc.).

    As a result, any holdings with a prefix do not show up alongside holdings in the same call number range, essentially hiding many titles from patrons interested in browsing the shelf list. (This would be an issue for staff as well, but shelf list browsing works correctly in Alma.)

    Please reconfigure Primo's browse search to ignore (but, ideally, still display) the call number prefix when generating this index.

13. "Report To Ex Libris" for CDI issues

    Currently it is only possible to report Collection and Portfolios issues via the "Report to Ex Libris" functionality of Alma.
    Colleagues from our e-resources department (who also manage most of the CDI settings) would be glad to use this reporting tool also for CDI issues: wrong URLs, incorrect "Full Text Rights in CDI", etc.

    Please, provide a CRM Cateogry "CDI" in the form and include some CDI data (like now Collection ID, Portfolio ID).
    This would make it much easier for us to report CDI problems, and support team would also benefit from standardized requests.

14. Improve usability of exclude/include facet options

    Based on recent usability testing of the new UI we have found that our users appeared to be confused about how to include and exclude facet options from their results set. One of the main pain points seemed to be that they did not know that they were able to exclude a specific facet option (for example to exclude English items from the results set most of our users ticked all options under the language facet other then English rather then just excluding the English option).

    At the moment the option to exclude only appears when someone hovers over the facet option, and it appears on the right of the text of the facet option. Although the option to include a facet also only appears when the mouse hovers over the text of the facet option because it appears on the left of the text it is more obvious, as users will be reading left to right, then something that appears after the text.

    We feel the overall usability of the exclude/include facet option functionality could be improved by:

    1. Moving the exclude option so it is next to the include option on the left of the facet options
    2. Both options are made static so users are aware there are filtering options without the need to hover over the text of the facet option.
    3. Currently a tool tip exists for the exclude option, but there isn't a equivalent tool tip for include. We would like a tool tip to be available for both options.

15. "Search within results"

    We would like to propose a "Search within results" option for Primo. "Search within results" would be a keyword search across all fields present in a user's results list. This is an option offered in common databases, such as Web of Science, so it is something users expect. We feel this search function would increase Primo's usability particularly for inexperienced users.

16. Alerts in a consortium with NZ: send alerts for records added to the inventory of the institution of the user

    The alert functionality is not really functional in a library network with a Network Zone. Users get an alert when a new bibliographic record is created in the Network Zone, but most users don't care about new acquisitions in other institutions. What they want is to be alerted on new acquisitions in their own institution. This means: to get an alert when a new bibrecord is added to the inventory of of their IZ (not only by creating a new record but also by adding a holding or portfolio to an existing record in the NZ).

18. Add option to filter out Global title index results without any offer

    When creating a scope that include CDI records non filtered per availability (Rapido-CDI expanded index), Global title index without any offer (no Get it section, no view online section and no item available in the Rapido tile) are retrieved (example). These records are owned by libraries participating in any POD (outside of ours) of Rapido.

    We would like to have an option to exclude the Global title index results without an offer.

    It is very important to enable the search in Primo with and without hyphen to retrieve all relevant records (with hyphen, without hyphen and as compound words).
    Some examples of current discrepancies in retrieval are:

    צפון-קרוליינה retrieved 2 results
    צפון קרוליינה retrieved 486 results

    עת-מול retrieved zero results
    עת מול retrieved 83 results, including the title עת-מול : עתון לתולדות ארץ ישראל ועם ישראל. ‬

    searching using the pre-filter Title and limiting to 2010-2021 for
    ארצות הברית retrieves 71 results
    ארצות-הברית

20. Facet "language" not working

    The facet "language" in Primo is not working correctly. When I choose another language than german or english, e.g. italian, I got german or english titles whose authors have an italian background. This is not making any sense. Especially our chinese students expect titles in chinese when they use this facet. And as it is a global problem I think ExLibris has to find a solution. I checked with several Primo catalogues from other libraries:

    e.g.
    http://www.getty.edu/research/library/
    https://fu-berlin.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=FUB
    https://library.wlu.ca/
    http://primo.abdn.ac.uk:1701/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do (they obviously deactivated the language facet already while it is not working)
    http://primo.tug-libraries.on.ca/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=WATERLOO&reset_config=true
    http://primo.bib.uni-mannheim.de/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=MAN_UB
    http://onesearch.slq.qld.gov.au/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=SLQ&fromLogin=true
    http://primo.ub.uni-due.de/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do
    http://catalogue.solent.ac.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=SSUVU01
    http://whel-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=44WHELF_ABW_VU1&reset_config=true
    http://bvb-new-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=49BVB_UBG01_VU1
    https://hollis.harvard.edu/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=HVD
    a.s.o.

    In all libraries I checked there is the same problem that the language facet is not working correctly. So I hope that other libraries will vote for this enhancement request as it is a fatal error in the facets functionality. And I think we should not accept this failure.
