  1. Add a pre-filter for Peer-reviewed Journals

    Our students would like the option to pre-filter their searches to articles published in Peer-reviewed journals. The current Primo configuration only allows this filter as a refining facet after searching.

  2. Display "Sign in to check request options" message/link on a higher level

    Display the "Sign in to check request options" message/link on a higher level than for each location? That would make it much more visible for customers, instead of having to click on individual locations drop down links.

  4. Combine permalinks with citations in Primo

    In Primo, the ability to copy citations is very useful, as is the ability to copy permalinks for individual records. When helping a patron via virtual reference (chat or email), it is cumbersome to, first, open and copy the citation, and second, open copy the permalink. It would make more sense to either hyperlink the citation with a stable link, or include the permalink after the citation in the same window.

  5. A report of "full text available" records in Primo Central for each institution

    It would be great to be able to get a report of the institutional holdings that have been matched to records in Primo Central, so that they are indexed as "full text available" for the institution. This would enable libraries to see which active portfolios in each SFX KB target / Alma CZ collection are indexed at all in Primo Central, and how much of the holdings of each serial are indexed. Libraries could then use this to indicate to users which journals and collections cannot be found in Primo Central. It would also be useful to see gaps in…

  6. Enable Full Text Searching

    Enable full text searching for all searches as opposed to only as an enhanced search when results are low. This is especially confusing for when the same search can return less results after a user logs in.

  7. Include "Browse Search" link on advanced search pages.

    Right now the "browse search" link is offered on the basic simple search page, but not on the advanced search page. For libraries that primarily link to the advanced search page, that link is buried.

  8. Add link "Back to results list" on the e-Shelf

    This is the use-case I want to improve:
    A user is constructing complex queries and collecting some records.
    From time to time she wants to check the e-Shelf and then continue skimming trough the results list.

    ¡There is no simple navigation path from the e-Shelf back to the results list!

    There are 2 less-than-ideal solutions:

    1/ repeating the query from tab "This session's queries" (flaws: it is cumbersome to find the corresponding query and too much clicks are necessary)
    2/ the back button of the browser (flaws: the yellow e-Shelf star icons are not up to date and too much…

  9. Adding 'Issue' as a new resource type in Primo Central

    Resource types used in Primo Central are limited to 23 (book, article, journal, image...) [See pdf "Primo Central Index Resource Types" in the Documentation Center].

    For digitized journal issues, the type in use is 'journal'. Archive collections like HathiTrust may contain tens of thousands of digitized journal issues; institutional repositories may also contain complete issues… This is finally confusing for end-users for who see issues labelled as journals and for whom filtering by resource type has become useless.

    Adding a 24th type 'Issue' for this material would be welcome! ‘Journal’ would thus only remain for real journal records.

  10. Multilingual CT and MT: Configure inherited languages

    Right now most CTs and MTs in the Backoffice are configured in a multitude of languages. The possibility to configure the languages needed by the instance and/or institution would make the usage more convenient and also save disk space.

    OTB-Tables could stay the same as they are now, of course. But for at least the instance – if not even single institutions – a set of needed languages should be configurable.

  11. Send e-mail to Primo administrator staff after a scheduled pipe was executed

    For many customers, especially SaaS ones that does not have direct access to the server, it is very important to know if a scheduled pipe is executed or not. The idea here is that the BO server send by email a summary of each pipe execution, indicating start and finish date and time, execution status and how many records were imported / deduplicated etc.
