  1. ORCID to be searchable in Primo VE

    I'd like to add ORCID to our catalog records, at least for our ETDs (thesis authors and their advisors), and to have the IDs being searchable in Primo VE.

  2. New records facet according to Inventary record

    Primo VE facet for New records (last month, last week) retrieves records according to the bibliographic record creation date.
    The problem in some institutions is it takes an average of one month from when the record is created until it is available to the user, therefore, the new records that are available in the last week for the user appear under the last month facet or even, sometimes, in the last three months.

    We ask for theese facets take into account the Inventory Date instead of the Bibliographic Record Creation Date

  3. Show unnormalized facet Academic Department in PRIMO VE

    We want the PRIMO VE shows the Facet as an unnormalized text as we see in ALMA.

    It only displays the initial letter of each word in uppercase and removes hyphens and other punctuation marks.

    For example in ALMA we see a Academic department "FCS- Nutrició" and in the Primo VE now we see as "Fcs Nutrició"

  4. Configure new searches to automatically exclude facets from result list (2022)

    As a user, I want to configure Primo to automatically exclude certain facets from search results so patrons do not have to exclude the item with every new search

    The solution would be configurable.
    The default configuration would have no exclusions defined.

    Using Resource Type: Reviews as an example:

    • The institution uses the solution to exclude Resource Type: Reviews.
    • The solution adds [facet=rtype,exclude,reviews] to the query. The behavior would be the same as if the user clicked the Exclude button next to the resource type: reviews.
    • Users would be able to modify their filters like usual.

    Query without configuration:
    /discovery/search?query=any,contains,Carrots&tab=Everything&search_scope=Everything&vid=[institution…

  5. Resource Types set in an Institution Zone should overwrite those set in a Network Zone

    The definition of the local resource type depends on the owner of the record.
    If the record is owned by IZ - the definition will be taken from the IZ.
    If the record is owned by NZ - the definition will be taken from the NZ.
    If the record is linked to NZ - the definition will be taken from the NZ.

    This is inconvenient if some of the institutions in a consortium, but not all, want the general r.type.
    Typically, the majority of the data is owned or linked to the NZ.

    The current situation does greatly reduce flexibility…

  6. Adding Faculty Affiliation and Patron Degree Level to Resource Sharing Form

    We would like to add two drop-down fields to the Primo RS form:
    1. Faculty affiliation of requester e.g. Humanities, Social Sciences, etc...
    2. Degree level of student e.g. BA, MA, PhD etc...

    These fields would obviously need to appear on the Alma form and be retrievable via Analytics

  7. Data elements for Calculated Availability should be configurable

    The Calculated Availability text is composed of Availability status + Library + location + call number .
    We want to be able to configure what elements should display based on their value. For instance, we only want to display call numbers for items that are on open shelves (as determined by library and/or location value). For items in closed stacks, the call number is irrelevant to the users and only serves to clutter up the interface.

  8. CONFIGURATION OF SANCTIONS IN LIBRARY CARD (PRIMO)

    Good afternoon,
    Together with greeting you, I request support so that in the Library Card in PRIMO environment information that is displayed from the SANCIONES + MESSAGES Vignette provides the following information:

    1. TITLE OF THE BOOK BY WHICH USER IS SANCTIONED.
    2. DATE OF CREATION OF THE SANCTION
    3. DATE OF EXPIRATION OF THE PENALTY

    RESULT: The user who consults the status of said SANCTION, knows the title (s) by which it was blocked by the system.
    Attached is the detail of what is requested.

    Thanking you for your support, I say goodbye carefully

  9. No-contact pickup option for hold form.

    Add a field to the hold form so patrons can indicate that they want no-contact / curbside pickup of their requested item instead of coming inside the location they selected. Allow it to default as checked.

  10. Registros OA en Primo VE

    Actualmente Primo VE muestra registros como OA cuando los mismos refieren a enlaces de recursos suscriptos por la biblioteca.

    Una solución podría ser la de eliminar el icono de OA, pero este cambio aplica para todos los registros, incluyendo los que efectivamente enlazan con recursos de OA, de momento no es posible modificar un registro en particular o un conjunto.

    Esperamos que se pueda solucionar este problema y que los registros que enlazan a recursos suscriptos no muestren el icono de OA.

  11. Preferred record for dedup and frbr to also apply to list of versions

    Following the implementation of an earlier idea exchange item that Primo VE should allow to set the preferred record for dedup and frbr records, we would also like this setting to be used for records that you get when viewing the list of versions.
    What we are seeing is that only the top level in the brief results applies these settings, but when you go into list of versions to find a specific edition, you then might be presented with either record as the preferred record if you hold both e and print for this edition.
    This is what ExLIbris…

  12. Add Welsh as a supported Language for the Voice Search Assistant on Primo/PrimoVE

    Currently, Welsh is not one of the supported languages on the Voice Search Assistant on Primo/PrimoVE.

    The Voice Search Assistant does not recognise even simple words in Welsh and displays irrelevant results when testing the feature in the Sandbox environment.

    This means Welsh universities are excluded from using this feature for Welsh speaking users.

    Please can you add Welsh as a supported language so that Welsh speaking users can have the benefit of this feature.

  13. display logic should allow us to block Resource Sharing Request if the item is an ebook

    As more and more ebooks are offered and indexed in CDI, we need a way to block the UW Request from showing for these. At this time Resource sharing is not equipped to handle the loaning of entire ebooks. So we need users to use different options and unfortunately we do not have a way to block the RS request when an item is an ebook

  15. Link search results for full text to the digital representation instead of the title

    One of the selling points of Primo VE is that full text from digital representations (Alma-D) is indexed automatically. When a user performs a search wherein full text is found, they can click on the brief result to go to the full display, then click on the digital representation to open the file in the viewer.

    This works well for titles with only one digital representation and file. If you search our catalog for the keywords feeder is also designed as a feeder, you will see an ESL Pamphlet about the Black River Canal as the first result. When you…

  16. Improve the browse callnumber functionality in Primo VE to include Moys callnumbers

    As a Primo VE law academic or student I would like the Moys callnumbers to be browsable in Primo VE. They are a special classification suited to my subject area. This functionality was previously available.

    Background
    Moys call numbers are not supported in Primo VE, even though they display in the Alma Browse functionality.

    Primo NUI did display them correctly.

    Having invested considerable resourcing in developing Moys classification for our Law collections it is frustrating that we are no longer able to browse these callnumbers.

  18. Applying Group by Library function to specific resource type

    The April 2022 new function to be able to group locations by library is great, though we would like to apply this only to journals.
    For example, when three libraries each hold a certain book, turning on this feature will force patrons to extra click to see the items. Also, it is very inconvenient because availability is not displayed on the library (first appearing) list. We would like to apply it only to journals, as this would be effective for journals that have many volumes and separate locations.

  19. Allow patrons to submit ratings on records

    We would like our (identified) patrons to be able to add a rating on each record, for example on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. This rating would be saved and displayed to all users on the full display of the record. A facet would be then allow to select records according to their rating.
