  1. Provide a link to a help page for Unpaywall links in Primo VE

    We are using the Unpaywall Quicklink to display open access links in our search results in Primo VE. The links themselves show that they are provided by the Unpaywall API, but we think that most users are not familiar with this service's name and functionality, so we would like to be able to provide more information to them. For example we would like to provide a link to a help page explaining what Unpaywall is and how it works.
    Using JS customization, we have tried to add a link to a under the Unpaywall link, but the scope in which…

  2. The possibility to change the order of values in the top-level facet

    Several institutions of the eLABa consortium (https://www.elaba.lt/elaba-portal/en) would like to change the order of values in the top-level facet "Availability" (facet_tlevel) as they please. For example:

    3. Peer-reviewed Journals
    4. Open Access
    5. Cited Articles

  3. Filter collections (in Primo) to show 'online' or 'physical' items

    Currently, when you click into a collection on Primo, there are a few sorting options (relevance, date, title, author), but it would be useful to let users see only 'online' items or only 'physical' items (libraries with more than one site may want to let users see physical items at particular sites).

  4. TOU should be hidden when users Not logged in.

    In Primo VE, when a user is logged in, the TOU according to the user's category is displayed. However, when the user is not logged in, the TOU could be displayed as "Loanable" even if the book is loanable only to faculty members. When the user is not logged in, the TOU should be hidden.

  5. Ability to collapse elements in full title display per view and per search scope slot

    Please add the ability to collapse elements in full title display
    - per view
    - per search scope slot

    We are in a consortium, and some information in the full title display is confusing for our patrons and we have no way to hide it.

    We would like a setting to collapse each element of the full title display separately. This setting needs to be configurable per view and within the view per search scope slot.

    Example:

    We have the search scope slots
    - our IZ
    - NZ & CDI

    Section 'Other loan and request options' should be collapsed in…

  10. Allow the available figure for Physical items to be configured

    The available figure in Primo for Physical items includes all items which are not on loan. We want to be able to exclude items with certain item policies or item locations from this figure.
    These items will still be displayed within Primo but will not be included in the available count.

  11. Publish synonym list for hosted non-VE customers in Primo documentation

    It was announced in the Primo mailing lists during August 2021 that the list of synonyms for Primo VE had now been added to the documentation page.

    The equivalent documentation for non-VE Primo customers such as us is at:

    https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Product_Documentation/Primo/Technical_Guide/120Linguistic_Features/040Synonyms#ww1052488

    As hosted customers, however, we still can't see the contents of the synonym files as described, as we don't have that sort of server level access. Therefore we are unable to determine:

    (i) whether the non-VE synonym list bears direct comparison to the VE list,

    (ii) if it does not, where the differences lie.

    Significant staff time is taken up…

  13. Show both in-text and reference citation formats for APA 7

    With version 7 of the American Psychological Association (APA 7) citation format, there are two formats: one for in-text and one for reference citations.

    The first (in-text) is to be used within the body of the text; the second (reference) is to be used in a bibliography.

    There are differences between the two styles. For more information on the differences, please see https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations and https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references.

    It looks like when Primo uses the Citation Style Language (CSL) Repository (https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles) to add styles, it only picks up the In-text format citation from the APA 7 definition on the CSL…

  14. 300a (total number of pages) should put in PNX for exporting RIS/Mendeley.

    Currently, Primo VE does not export total number of pages of books, which is nessesary for some styles, to RIS and Mendeley. We opened a case and asked Support to fix this, and got the answer following.

     ”The Product Management team has discussed this further and consider this is an enhancement request. A possible solution is to set a new rule to take, for books only, the pages information from 300a and include it in the PNX addata/pages field."

    We thought the total number of pages should be included in PNX. Please support this idea.

  16. Apply Controlled Vocabulary Service to Primo Browse

    Currently, the Controlled Vocabulary Service is only applied to Primo Search. With the CVS, when users search for a term like "heart attack", they see both the list of all results and a message at the top of the results saying "Including 'myocardial infarction'. Just search 'heart attack'". This allows the user to specify which terms are in use, and to narrow them to just the specific term searched for if desired. Primo Browse lacks this service, and only returns precise results, but it would still be useful for users to be presented with an option to instead see similar…

  17. Reflect "Unpaywall API respons" in the availability of the title list.

    1. Current system behavior
      Unpaywall API response has no impact on the 'Full text online' indication of the title list..

    2. What is this problem?
      Even titles that can be accessed with unpaywall are not displayed as "[Available online]", it makes problem for users to understand.

    3.Improving idea
    Reflect "Unpaywall API respons" in the availability of the title list.
    This improvement will enhance users' access to information.

  18. move the favicon to the top level (outside /img) to fix Firefox bookmarks

    Hi

    The favicon for our view is stored in the /img folder within the customization package.

    For Firefox to display it correctly when I have the URL in my bookmark bar, the favicon needs to be outside the /img folder.

    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1230644
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1226447

    "the saved bookmark favicon image was located in other than the website server file path root directory which was the original W3C standard for favicon placement for web browsers to loom for it"

    As long as the favicons are stored within /img, they display ok in the tabs of Firefox, but get lost when I drag the URL…

  19. Permit creation of a stable URL that would lead to a simple search with all records limited by any facets, e.g., location.

    We'd like to create stable links to entire collections for use on our website, guides and course shells. For example, a link that leads to all records with a given location.

    This is currently possible for Advanced Search with a pre-filter. But users are distracted by Advanced Search's space and complexity, which pushes the results down the page. And if there are multiple languages or material types, the pre-filters would be overly restrictive.

  20. Availability status for webhooks

    The availability status for Primo Search Webhook records (such as for Newsbank) is always "Check for available services." Our users are accustomed to seeing this status when materials are not available full text online, and we would like the availability status to better indicate that full text is available. It would be great if the default display could be changed to "Available online" for these materials or if we had the ability to modify the display only for webhooks.
