How can we improve Primo?

← Primo

Adjust number of results Collection Discovery

Collection Discovery pages are great but loading 10 at a time is not enough. Would like to see adjustable results dial similar to what was recently released in Alma. Perhaps even up to 100 results on a page would be sufficient.

    It is really unfortunate that the new pagination option to display up to 50 results by user selection in May 2021 was not included in Collection Discovery, which keeps the same Load More Results.
    This also adds a design inconsistency across Primo interfaces.
    The design is that it will only apply to Collection Discovery if a user sets this already for the session in main Primo and then happens to navigate into Collection Discovery.
    As it is a very common user pathway to provide direct links to specific collections, such as promoting content in a web page by direct link to a collection, this means that a user is guaranteed to bypass main Primo and then miss out on the opportunity to set an increase in page numbers.

    I see it the same as Shanyun Zhang and Pete Ramsey.
    The same problem exists for the normal search in the catalogue. You can only load 10 more results at a time, regardless of the result set. It would also be helpful for the normal search to have options to users to select how many results per page (10, 25, 50, 100 or all) they want to see. From the outside it also looks like the same programming function, because the button and the result are the same.
    Perhaps two things could be solved by fixing the problem. My fingers are crossed.

    We have a collection of juvenile books to help children's lit classes. The collection has just under 5k items. The system here is useless for browsing, due to having to click for every 10 items. There needs to be a larger default option.

    It is better to give the options to users to select how many results per page (10, 30, 50, or 100), something like many online shopping platforms do.
