  2. Allow Primo Research Assistant proxy definition to be determined by electronic collection's service

    Currently, there is only one proxy definition allowed for the electronic services in Primo Research Assistant, but a one-size-fits-all approach is not sufficient for our needs. Alma allows for multiple proxy definitions to be used with electronic services, as they are configured in each electronic collection's service editor. We currently use 3 different definitions: 1) OpenAthens Redirector, 2) OpenAthens Proxy, and 3) no proxy. Please mirror this functionality in PRA so that we can create the correct links for all of our electronic services.

  3. Do not index preprint articles in CDI until they are published

    Preprint articles are showing up in EBSCOhost collections via CDI records before the articles are published. This makes things confusing for users when they find an article that is not actually available yet.

    Please consider working with this provider to distinguish this content and/or not index them in CDI until the articles are published. Thank you!

  4. Enable Full Support for Custom Meta Tags in the <head> of Primo VE Views to Improve SEO

    At present, Primo VE only allows institutions to configure the <meta name="description"> tag within the <head> of the HTML. Other essential metadata elements — such as <meta name="keywords">, <meta name="robots">, or custom meta tags for open graph and social media optimization — cannot be added or controlled through the platform’s configuration interface.

    While it is technically possible to include additional meta tags through the customization package, these elements are inserted into the <body> rather than the <head>, and therefore are not recognized by web crawlers. This limitation significantly reduces the ability of libraries and academic institutions to optimize their Primo…

  6. Newspapers search API

    For libraries who use the Primo APIs (https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/primo/apis/) for their bento box discovery service, it is not possible to extract results from a Newspaper search using the Primo Rest API when the Newspaper search is enabled. Libraries can only extract Newspaper articles through the API using the resource type “Newspaper articles” without the Newspapers search enabled, which means far less content, and far less relevant content. However, by enabling the Newspapers search, libraries can expose significantly more news-oriented results from the many newspapers search only sources that libraries have access to that will increase relevance. However, if a…

  7. Allow hosted Back Office sites to use their own XSL transformation routines in data sources

    Primo documentation describes using XSL transformation routines to apply changes to records ingested to Primo from external sources (https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Product_Documentation/Primo/Back_Office_Guide/050Pipe_Configuration_Wizard/040Configuring_Data_Sources) but hosted sites are not able to see details of existing routine files or add their own.

    We would like to be able to add our own transformation file to handle a specific issue with harvested OAI metadata. Please make this possible or at least document the existing transformation routines so that we can see what they do.
