  1. Add ability to change default sort for results

    I would like to change the default sort for one of our views from Relevance to Date-newest. Our library has a lot of grey literature which is not handled appropriately by the Relevance sort.

  2. Remove "Add to e Shelf" from copied text

    Users often copy and paste titles of works from Primo brief search results, to use in other searches or documents. The user selects the hyperlinked title text and copies. When it is pasted, the phrase "Add to e Shelf" is added in front of the title, even though it doesn't appear in the brief search results. This is very confusing to patrons, who frequently don't notice this sneaky addition to their copied text and wonder why their new search is "not found". We would love to see this phrase removed from the copied text.

  3. Display of earlier editions in 'View x versions' feature instead of latest ones

    Unfortunately, and I've noticed this with other titles in Primo, e.g. Begg Economics, the latest editions of titles are hidden in the 'View x versions' area of Primo while the earliest edition is displayed in the search results. It would be better perhaps if the latest edition displayed with the option to view earlier editions under the 'View x versions' feature.

  4. Offer library-controlled "Looking for...?" suggestions

    When a user is searching for a common title but not necessarily easily found, like "Wall Street Journal," we want to offer a highlighted link, "Looking for the Wall Street Journal" that goes to the destination of our choice, which in this case would be the WSJ online database. We have many records for WSJ different editions etc. and it can be challenging for the user to find the "primary" one.

    Thank you for this great idea. we are pleased to announce that this functionality is implemented in Primo as part of the Resource Recommender.
    Recently we have enhanced it: allowing suggested resources to be returned through the enrichment of searchable tags by adding synonyms, inflections and more.

    Please refer to knowledge center for more information
