FRBR generic: make display of the generic record customizable
We use FRBR generic (in Primo VE) because we deem FRBR preferred to be too confusing for our patrons.
We can't fix the duplicate display of contributors' names.
Example:
https://basel.swisscovery.org/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Homer%27s%20Iliad%20translated%20by%20Richmond%20Lattimore&tab=UBS&search_scope=UBS&vid=41SLSP_UBS:live&lang=en&offset=0, see also screenshot.
Lattimore is displayed three times, Martin twice.
As this is supposed to be a generic display, no contributors should be displayed here.
We got the following response from Ex Libris in our case:
"
With the 'Generic record' option enabled, when conducting a search in Primo, in the list of results for a FRBR group, you will see a very generic record which is hardcoded and cannot be modified. This record will contain work-level metadata and will serve as a placeholder for the group. It won't include the data and functionality that is relevant to a specific record, only indicating that multiple versions of the title have been found. The generic FRBR display consists of :
The first row - as per View configuration.
The second row is hard coded to display the fields - display/creator and display/contributor.
...The current design of Primo is to always display creator and contributor in the 2nd line of the FRBR record if the generic record is selected. If you want to remove the contributor from the generic record, the next step is to pursue this as an enhancement.
