Can Ex Libris please look into a system whereby one content type can be privileged over another, supporting more accurate faceting of search results.

BACKGROUND
We recently discovered a number of CDI records incorrectly displayed the generic TEXT RESOURCE label for journal articles. It seems these records have been supplied by third party suppliers whose policies dictate that their metadata will not be updated, even upon request (https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Summon/ContentCorner/KnowledgeArticles/Summon%3AFixestoAggregatorContent_Data).

In many cases the PNX metadata provided indications as to what these really were, even though the allocated resource type was TEXT RESOURCE.

If this information could be repurposed to privilege journal articles content type over more general content types in the same logical record, that might make it possible to alter this display on a large scale without impacting records which are correctly labelled as text resources.

When searching my institution's PrimoVE instance with the "Add results beyond your library's collection" box checked (it is checked by default), users are getting search results that include archival and special collections materials from other institutions. Users who log in can request these items via EZBorrow or ILL, but this is misleading because archival and special collections materials do not circulate and cannot be checked out or delivered to another library. These requests will always be denied and cause some confusion for users and library staff. We're concerned that users will be at best confused by having this option seemingly available for non-circulating materials, and at worst think our catalog is confusing, defective, or misleading and possibly be angry with the librarians who handle these requests.

Is there any way to turn off or hide the "How to get it" service only for archival and special collections materials from other institutions? Or, can we add some kind of note to archival materials from outside our institution indicating that despite what the UI presents, these items cannot be requested and users should directly contact the host institution for access or digitization?

As part of "Initiative E-Books.NRW" from the Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft NRW we now have access to about 100.000 E-Books from several providers. The Ministerium published a press release of this issue in January (https://www.mkw.nrw/presse/e-books-nrw).

We don't want to put the metadata into our local system, because the access to the content is limited to 3 years. After the 3 years we may have access to content that was frequently asked. For now it is not clear, which content that may be.

We would appreciate to have this metadata in the CDI to make it easier for the students to find and to use it as much as possible. Before publishing it here we opened a case at the ExL Support - they recommended us to bring it to Idea Exchange.

In addition to the indexing of bibliographic metadata, Primo VE indexes preferred and non-preferred terms from 1XX and 4XX fields in related Alma authority records.
This is not the case for classification authority records. In the old Primo, it was possible to enrich bibliographic records with additional terms available in 7xx fields of the classification record. For instance:
153 ##$aE860$hUnited States$hLater twentieth century, 1961-$hNixon's administration, 1969-August 9, 1974$jWatergate Affair, 1972-
750 00$aWatergate Affair, 1972-1974.

Could you enable enrichment with 7xx fields of classification authority records in the same way fields 1xx and 4xx of authority records enrich bibliographic records in Primo VE?

We would love to be able to create scrolling carousels to highlight collections, and embed them in other platforms (LibGuides, webpages, etc.) We see examples of this kind of carousel within Primo VE records, for materials that are in Collection Discovery (aka Digital Collections); at the bottom of the record there is a feature labeled "More from the same collection" with a link to the full collection in Collection Discovery as well as a scrolling carousel of images with the book jacket images and links to the other titles. We would like to be able to embed this kind of feature in other resources.
It would be great if it were possible to establish and share code for these kind of carousels, to enable highlight of and link to Alma/Primo materials. Digital Collections is one example of a use case, but carousel widget creation for other selected sets might also be a boon.
Different institutions may be taking different local development approaches to create these sorts of tools, so it would be great if Ex Libris could help develop something everyone could share.

We have has several users report in a week that they are confused by the lack of accuracy in the availability indicator in Primo VE. For example Milwaukee noticed that this item shows that it is available in another institution- https://wisconsin-uwm.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01UWI_ML/cc3uhc/alma9912304483902121

If I check that institution the item is checked out and if I look it Alma it has been out for over a year. <a rel="nofollow noreferrer" href="https://wisconsin-uwosh.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01UWI_OSH/hvjabb/alma991004692621402126">https://wisconsin-uwosh.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01UWI_OSH/hvjabb/alma991004692621402126</a>   


  Now compare it to Primo BO you will note that in the institutional holdings area, it says Out of the Library.  - <a rel="nofollow noreferrer" href="https://uwi-primoalma-prod.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/104qq38/UWI71401656290002121">https://uwi-primoalma-prod.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/104qq38/UWI71401656290002121</a> 

  We would want VE to be accurate so users do not think that another institution has an item, when it is really checked out.

We appreciate being able to create curated collections of Alma records to highlight lists of recommended reading and similar tools in Primo VE Collection Discovery. Sometimes we have a title that we’d love to include in these lists, but then find that a record exists only in CDI but not Alma. This is true for certain video collections, for example, that have database-type collections in Alma (no portfolios). There may also be single external resources (websites, etc.) that we'd also like to highlight. Currently there is no way to add CDI records nor single external resources to these collections. You can create an import profile to create Alma records for materials held in external collections -- but in the use cases I have we would not want to harvest a full collection but only highlight a single title, or refer to an already-existing CDI record. Currently, our only option is to create a different resource (like a LibGuide or separate webpage) -- but it would be wonderful if Alma collections/Collection Discovery could be enhanced to enable broader, better, fuller usage.

There might be multiple local (i.e. repository) records for different editions of a book, where the title field of some editions features the word "and", but the title field of other editions features the character "&". At the moment, this results in two FRBR groups for that book on Primo VE - one group for the editions with "and" and another group for the editions with "&".

When determining FRBR groups for local (i.e. repository) records, "and" and "&" should be treated interchangeably, so that all editions of a book will be grouped together, even if the title has changed from using one to the other.

For example: "Mayson, French and Ryan on company law" should be grouped with "Mayson, French & Ryan on company law".

This was originally raised as a Salesforce case with Ex Libris, but they have advised us to treat it as an idea instead.

I would like the Hebrew Acronym file to work in the same manner for local and remote records and enable the correct retrieval of records with any of the many Hebrew words that are comprised of initials (eg פלמ"ח, תנ"ך, תשנ"א, אדמו"ר, בג"ץ, רמב"ם, מפא"י…….).

Currently, searching a term either with or without the " sign will retrieve the term both with and without the quotation sign (") but ONLY for local records. Until this will work in CDI, many remote records will not be retrievable when searching terms that can be written in both ways (with or without the " sign).

In brief display in Primo, we can choose what will be displayed when a user clics on an FRBR title :
- a single item / a single edition in full display chosen by an algorithm ;
- or the list of all editions in brief display. This is what we have chosen to display, so our users can't miss the fact that we have several editions of the same book.

But it actually only works if the user uses the left button of a mouse.

When using scroll wheel or right button, you always have an item chosen by an algorithm. You never have the list of all editions in brief display.

This is a problem for users who have a long list of results. If a user uses the left button, Primo displays the list of all editions. But if this user wants to go back to the results lists, he will go back to the beginning of this list.

So for users who have a long list of results, the solution would be to open books in new tabs (scroll whell or right button). But when doing so with an FRBR item, Primo only displays one edition. Because of that, some users don't notice that we have several editions.

The fact that the algorithm doesn't choose the most recent edition makes this problem even more annoying to users. Some users think that we only have old editions of FRBR books.
