Summary Holdings Display>Primo VE
We would like our summary holdings to display one "click/screen" earlier than they do now.

For example,

https://col-hope.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=alma991001380029704767&context=L&vid=01COLHOPE:HOPE&searchscope=MyInstandCI&tab=Everything&lang=en

Users first have to click on the little arrow on the right of a holdings location before viewing the summary holdings statement.

We would like the summary holdings to display as a third line under the initial location data.

How it displays now:
Van Wylen Library
Available, Bound Journals Section 3rd Floor ; HF5601 .N53

How we want it to display
Van Wylen Library
Available, Bound Journals Section 3rd Floor ; HF5601 .N53
Summary holdings: v.45:no.12(1975:Dec.)-v.55:no.12(1985:Dec.)

We have seen Primo UI libraries able to make this change; we desire the same functionality in Primo VE.

Thank you

We would like to propose an improvement to the search results for end-users in Primo. Our suggestion is to have an easier way to get back to the search results list if a document has several editions.
Currently, if a user opens a document that has several editions/versions, they have to reset their active search filters (“List of editions/versions”) in order to go back their original search results list. Our suggestion is to have a button that says “Back to results list” instead.

In addition, we propose that when returning to the results list, the user returns to the same place, and not at the top of the list. Today the user returns to the top of the results list when exiting the multiple record list.

Primo Central grouping is based on the existing FRBR workflow, including the grouping process at the database level (the way the Search engine handles grouping) and the Front End functionality. It is used to prevent duplicate records in the results list.

Unfortunately, many records are not added to FRBR groups because the system considers the metadata are not rich enough. With the increase of records provided by (Open Access) aggregators and repositories, the number of duplicate records will certainly not decrease.

Could Ex Libris improve the FRBR workflow for Primo Central records in order to reduce the number of duplicate results and consolidate the FRBR groups?

Examples of duplicate records:
Accuracy of prediction of gene content in large animal populations and its use for candidate gene detection and genetic evaluation

Our users make heavy use of the generate citation button, but they currently have to do this one record at a time. It would make things easier for them if they could pin all the relevant items, and then go into My Account, select all their pinned items, and generate a citation for all of them.

They can currently perform several actions by batch on all pinned items - email results, export to Refworks and so on - but the generate citation action is not yet available to them.

The citation that appears could be simply plaint text, with the citations separated by line breaks.

Hi there,

According to SF case 422111 it's currently not possible to provide detailed statistics about advanced search field through OBI.

As for the facets, we would like to know the number of using field by field.

For example :
- We would like to know how many clicks were done on search field "Topic"
- We would like to know how many clicks were done on search field "Author"
- We would like to know in how many session the search field document type / books was used
- Which are the fields the most used in the advanced search, which are the less used ?

Those statistics would help us to improve our configuration according to patrons' needs.

Thanks for support !

Option to allow a Primo user to select which scope they prefer to work with when multiple scopes. Two possibilities - allow this to be set for as a saved option for signed-in users only, or allow this to be set as a cookie for guest users and be saved as a cookie on that computer. This could apppear as a "Personalize" selection.

This will truly empower users - e.g. if they don't want to see Primo Central results most of the time, they will not be hampered by the library's choice of "All" as a default scope. Or if they want to see "All" or "Primo Central" (articles+) most of the time, but the library thinks most users will be better satisfied by the local catalog scope, they can get their wish without having to click into the drop-down list every time (or select a tab, if this is implemented in old UI). They would still have option to select another scope.
