1. Link Authorities in BIB Records to Local Authority Search Records

   Current Situation: Local authority search allows patrons to search for authorities and obtain a list of BIB records to which they are connected. However, it is not possible to navigate from an authority in a BIB record to the local authority record in Primo.

   Proposed Change: Enable navigation from an authority in a BIB record to the corresponding local authority record in Primo.

2. Customize brief display of fees in user account - Primo VE

   On the overview page in the fees tile it displays 4 lines of information. If a user need more information they have to click on the entry to do so. One of the pieces of information in the drill down is if the fee was transferred to an outside entity such as bursars. Given there is a Pay Fees button even if transferred fees are present on this tab it would be nice to be able to have more lines display or at the least be able to order the display so what we feel is most important shows in brief display. That way with this easy to see designation and a relabel of the button (which we have done) users can know if fees can be paid using the button or if they should go somewhere else.

3. User-defined favorite libraries that get preferential ranking in the Brief Display, the Get It section and Libraries facet

   The idea is to introduce a new feature: "Favorite Libraries". In the Library Card, patrons could select their favorite library or libraries (regardless of the IZ to which they are affiliated to, in case of a consortium). Consequently, in the Brief Display, this choice influence the ranking of the records, in the GetIt section, the system first displays items from the selected favorite library(ies) on top. In the facet "libraries" where results are sorted by library, the system would display the favorite libraries on top, before other libraries.

4. Cross-Institution favorites

   In a consortial environment, we would like to see favorites shared across institutions.

   Currently, favorites from institution A are only visible when logged into institution A but not when logged into institution B and vice versa.

   Our desired behaviour would be that all favorites from all institutions are shown, regardless of which institution a user is logged in to.

5. Enable separate search profiles, scopes, and slots for Advanced Search

   We request the ability to display search profiles, scopes, and slots separately and selectively in Simple and Advanced Search. Today, any search profile added to a search configuration automatically appears in both Simple and Advanced Search together; it is not possible to configure them separately. We would like the option to display the profiles, scopes, and slots in Simple Search only, or Advanced Search only, or both. We request this at all levels of search profile/scope/slot configuration. We have developed scopes based on special collections. Given the nature of the content, it would be beneficial to only have scopes available in Advanced Search and not in our main Simple Search bar. We also have some functionality we developed that only works in a 'library only' search profile. However, we do not want to add scoped searching into our main Simple Search bar but only Advanced. If this feature were added, with the granularity to allow scopes ONLY in Advanced or Simple Search, it would allow greater functionality and options to libraries. This would allow users to perform a more complex search and with scopes applied (e.g. title and author and date and scope in one go). This enhancement would provide additional parity between the two search options and allow enhanced functionality and options for libraries.

6. Dedicate a user role for "Access Analytics (Primo)"

   Now full "Design Analytics" role is required to access "Access Analytics (Primo)". In fact Primo usage is quite different from other Alma data including sensitive data like user, acquisition. It would be useful to have a partial analytics role for "Access Analytics (Primo)" like "Design Analytics – Acquisition", "Designs Analytics – Fulfillment", etc.

   Thank you.

7. Allow GES to access coverage information to calculate available services for articles

   Our library uses GES service availability rules to disable our ILL services request link for articles “when resource is owned by the institution and available.” However, GES interprets a journal as available if we have coverage for any length of time, even if coverage is not available for the article in question. This leads to a number of CDI articles showing “No services available,” as we do not have an available link for access (not having coverage for that particular date/issue), and the ILL link is disabled because the system thinks we have coverage. It would be helpful to have GES logic take journal coverage into account so that ILL services can be made available for patrons when the library does not have access to the desired article.

8. Gather sessions where a user performed a search and then selected an item

   Currently only one action can be tied to a session at a time—not multiple actions like a basic search and a full record display; therefore, number of sessions and number of actions are counted separately.
   Tracking the number/percentage of searches that led to selecting an item can provide insight into relevance ranking and collection usage.

10. Improve Browse with 505 $$t subfield

    Ex Libris technicians report that currently only the first occurrence of 505 $t is included in the Title index. As a result, if you Browse by a title listed further within the 505, the results don't supply a matching record. All $$t subfields in the 505 (and any other fields recording titles) should be included in the Title index to avoid this issue.

11. Add Campus IP-address recognition for OpenURL display in Primo VE

    When you set up Available For Groups on electronic collections in Alma, you can assign a Campus a certain IP-range and have Primo VE display the correct full text links without requiring the user to sign in first.

    This is all good within the scope of Primo VE but when you come to Primo via an OpenURL this functionality does not kick in. Should not all links be created equal, you may ask? Apparently not.

    This is a link from a search in Primo VE: https://snipboard.io/L5pvj6.jpg

    And the exact same article via an OpenURL: https://snipboard.io/VadX1N.jpg

    Please make OpenURL links behave the same as a search in Primo.

12. enable a search of parentheses () in middle of word

    Currently, Primo is unable to retrieve titles containing parentheses in the middle of a word (eg א(י)מניות : אימהות מביאות אמנות לעולם). It seems elementary that Primo should be able to retrieve any record based on its exact title.

    See the following links displaying the issue:

14. Exclude certain records or collections from search results

    We have a link to browse on our catalogue homepage to show new items added to the collection within the last 7 days. We would like this search to ONLY show the titles we have ordered or received by donation; NOT the titles from open access collections. Often open access collection titles are in other languages or on topics we don't need at our library so they are not helpful to our users to have in the new items search results list.
    We would like to be able to specify which records/collections are displayed in certain circumstances.
    eg: general searching includes all resources including open access collections but a New Items Search only searches items added/ordered by library staff.

16. Add to Primo Backend BE tools for counting and migrating (= export and reimport) user comments

    As Primo administrator we have no tool
    1) allowing us to know how many user comments are in the system (to have an idea on how this feature is used and therefore useful
    2) allowing us to migrate user comments in case there is a change authentication system and metadata. For example, we switched from a case sensitive to a case unsensitive authentication platform and, since user comments in Primo are linked to user via the ID used for authentication, we could not export them, manipulate and fix the users, and reimport them.
    Therefore a way to export / reimport them would be very useful. Content in the export could be encoded/encrypted to address privacy concerns.

20. Make collection and subcollection names discoverable in the Collections lobby.

    Make collection and subcollection names discoverable in the Collections lobby. Currently, collection names and subcollection names are discoverable in Primo VE, but not discoverable in the Collections lobby.

    Example:

    We have a collection called: "Daher Folk Tales". It is discoverable in Primo VE:

    https://librarysearch.centennialcollege.ca/discovery/search?query=any,contains,daher%20folk%20tales&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01OCLS_CENTENN:CENTENN&lang=en&offset=0

    but not in the Collections lobby:

    https://librarysearch.centennialcollege.ca/discovery/collectionDiscovery?vid=01OCLS_CENTENN:CENTENN&query=any,contains,daher%20folk%20tales

    We would like all collections and subcollections to be discoverable by name in the Collections lobby, because we will soon have a long list of collections on the lobby page, and many, many levels of subcollections. This enchancement would nake it easier for users to find the right subcollection, without having to click through the entire hierarchy.
