Can Ex_libris work with publishers to enable OA articles in hybrid journals to be discoverable ?
Currently if we do not subscribe to a journal (normally a hybrid OA titles) which has open access articles the article access is not discoverable as available during a search of Primo - is there any way to identify these articles as being available ?

When this idea was first suggested seven years ago, there was probably no good way to technically achieve this. There are now multiple solid sources of this data, from organizations willing to share it (Third Iron, Unpaywall, CrossRef, etc.). Data on OA articles in hybrid journals must be integrated into CDI - otherwise search results in Primo are woefully incomplete. This is an urgent problem, as an increasing portion of academic articles are published OA in hybrid journals.

I realize this is quite an old idea, and not specifically related to Primo VE, but for Alma/Primo VE/CDI, the addition of the Open Access facet SHOULD have done this. But oddly, links from open access records do not display to users unless an associated portfolio/collection has been activated in Alma. So the article-level open access status is shown to users, but they can't get to the content. Attached is a screenshot documenting that problem.
