  2. Add more citation styles to Primo VE

    Currently Primo offers the Chicago/Turabian style that is the student version of The Chicago Manual of Style. Please see the difference here: http://cmosshoptalk.com/2015/02/03/for-students-is-turabian-style-the-same-as-chicago-style/
    We propose to add The Chicago Manual of Style as a citation style.

  3. Central Office institution in My Profile for Primo Central: free for delivery collections should be handled by Central Office Institution

    We've created a Central Office institution in My Profile for Primo Central as described in the Knowledge Center
    https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo_Central/Product_Documentation/PC_Index_Configuration_Guide/020Primo_Central_Index_Registration/030Consortium_Activation_in_Primo_Central

    This works fine for resources which aren't free for delivery. Collections that are free for delivery have to be activated for each institution within the consortium separately. This means hard and time consuming work if you are supporting several institutions within a consortium like we do.

    From our point of view there is no reason why the collections that are free for delivery are handled differently. Main criteria to activate a collection is the quality of metadata in Primo Central. There…

  4. Primo Central FRBR process specific to each customer's activations

    Currently, Primo Central performs the FRBR process on its entire index without considering the collections activated at the customer's level. Having FRBR at the level of the whole PC leads to often have in the catalogue a 'View all versions', even if in the PC of the Institution there is just 1 version of a record. Another consequence is also that Primo Central facets display unrelated results. In some cases, other records (from the FRBR group) may not appear, which does apply to the facet limitation, because they haven't been activated in the PC registration system. This situation often leads…

    Thanks for your contribution, we are happy to inform you that this idea is available in Primo Central starting from June 2017

  5. Allow Main Menu Links to be Configurable on Primo Services Page in New UI

    We would like to be able to configure Main Menu Links on the Primo Services Page.

    When a patron lands on the services page, they should have the same Main Menu options as any other Primo page: New Search, Browse Search, EJournals, Citation Linker, etc.

    Unfortunately, these "Main Menu links in the New UI Services page were suppressed by design."

    Thanks,
    Blake

  7. Turn Off/On Link to Tags and Browse Search in Main Menu Via Back Office

    Have the ability to add or delete Tag and Browse tabs in Primo Main Menu in the back office Views Wizard, like all other menu tabs in Primo. Currently, these two recently added tabs can only be hidden or moved via CSS edits and are enabled by default without a delivered method for changing the tab or removing it all-together. All tabs should be manageable via the same Back Office method.

  10. 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.

    This functionality is now available as part of the citation trail in the new Primo UI

  11. Remove "Add to e Shelf" from copied text

    Users often copy and paste titles of works from Primo brief search results, to use in other searches or documents. The user selects the hyperlinked title text and copies. When it is pasted, the phrase "Add to e Shelf" is added in front of the title, even though it doesn't appear in the brief search results. This is very confusing to patrons, who frequently don't notice this sneaky addition to their copied text and wonder why their new search is "not found". We would love to see this phrase removed from the copied text.

  12. Offer library-controlled "Looking for...?" suggestions

    When a user is searching for a common title but not necessarily easily found, like "Wall Street Journal," we want to offer a highlighted link, "Looking for the Wall Street Journal" that goes to the destination of our choice, which in this case would be the WSJ online database. We have many records for WSJ different editions etc. and it can be challenging for the user to find the "primary" one.

    Thank you for this great idea. we are pleased to announce that this functionality is implemented in Primo as part of the Resource Recommender.
    Recently we have enhanced it: allowing suggested resources to be returned through the enrichment of searchable tags by adding synonyms, inflections and more.

    Please refer to knowledge center for more information
