  1. Primo default language

    When opening discovery, the language showed is the default one set in the Alma configuration. Many website today are capable to adapt the default language depending on the language set in the browser or the ip adress or other technologies.
    The current idea propose to investigate and eventually apply the technologies that allows an automatic adjustment of the primo default language.

  2. Disable default search for related titles without direct links

    It would be helpful to be able to deactivate the often-problematic default search Primo conducts whenever you click on a related title without a direct link to a corresponding record, since this search frequently returns irrelevant records.

  3. Add support for custom repositories for citation styles

    It's possible to manage and include additional citation style languages, which are stored in GitHub’s CSL Style Repository but they have a huge backlog to add new styles. It would be better if Ex Libris add support for custom repositories for citation styles.

  5. 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.

  6. Research Assistant: make filter button more noticeable

    It appears to us that several of our users of the Research Assistant don't notice the filter option left to the search box. Our request is to make the filter button more noticeable, e.g. by making it blue like the arrow to the left of the search box and by and by providing a mouse-over text.

  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.

  9. Primo - "related titles sorted alphabetically by title" also for Primo direct / classic not VE

    In Primo VE one can have related titles sorted alphabetically by title
    This is particularly useful for multipart, journals, and in general complex record structure. Unfortunately, this is possible only in Primo VE, but not in classic Primo.
    It would be useful if the 2 versions of Primo were aligned also regarding this very useful feature.

  10. Give customers the option to have a custom multilingual file for synonyms and compound words.

    We are a multilingual network, catering to four languages. It is very important to us to ensure that customers find the same resources regardless of the UI language they use. As one of our UI languages does not have a synonyms file, it is currently not possible for us to incorporate synonyms beyond those included by default in our Primo, as this would lead to differing search results for this language. We would like this to be solved by allowing customers to use a dedicated multilingual file for synonyms, compound words etc. that they can customize to their needs.

  13. Feedback Tool: don't pre-select the first option

    When I open the feedback tool, the focus is on the first option.

    None of the options should be selected when I first open the widget. See screenshots.

  14. Interaction between Unpaywall and View-it Section

    In some cases the Unpaywall API returns a link but the View-it section of the record shows "No full text available". Customer support explained the beahviour as follows:

    "Currently the Unpaywall API used by the Alma ViewIt checks for a direct link to the PDF of the article. In some cases, Unpaywall's API might return a link to a landing page - a webpage in which details on the resource appear as well as option for download. In that case, the ViewIt will not present a link.
    The Primo 'Get PDF' link uses a different mechanism, which does support links…

  15. Expand "full text"

    Currently "full text" is limited to first 65K characters of an article or of a complete [!] book (along with chapter abstracts only). Thus tweak results to full text is misleading. For articles, entering from google scholar may circumvent the problem partially. For books, true research now requires search full text (possibly not available or only available in snippet view) in google books for finding the required source and pages, then searching the discovery for the book for electronic access, similar to finding a physical book.
    True full text is strongly required.
