Add feature to Primo services page to help users outside Primo find full text from PCI direct link collections
The Alma link resolver only returns results from the Alma repository, so it would be useful to add a feature to the Primo services page that would pull in results from Primo Central direct link collections too. Perhaps the feature could show a search results preview from the library’s Primo and format it like the bx service in an orderly side panel. Such a change would encourage users to search the library’s Primo before they resort to an ILL request or give up on looking for the item. Some full text content is exclusively available through PCI direct link collections, while in other cases it’s immensely simpler to only activate the direct link collection rather than to import records into the repository or maintain additional CKB activations. As an example, here’s a citation found in an EBSCO database that our library can provide access to through a PCI direct link record, but there’s no indication of it from the services page. http://tinyurl.com/yxo6c6yx
