How can we improve Primo?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

    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.

  2. 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…

  3. 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.

  4. Way to block access to popular fiction/nonfiction that is less than 6 months old in the Global Title Index

    I know we can turn off some resource types in the global title index, as we have turned off dissertations and some other categories and it has worked well. We were wondering if there is a way to block access to popular fiction or nonfiction that is less than 6 months old. We do have users that request these, and we have to almost always reject them as 1.) they are always checked out, and 2.) they are not available through WisCat which is our Wisconsin public library union catalog.
