NERS Request ID: 4959NERS 2021 Request ID: 7566
89 votesHello all,
Following discussions with Pressreader we have offered the solution of a webhook API, as this is the appropriate solution for this provider.
At this time Pressreader cannot technologically support this API solution and therefore we are closing this request.
If/when the provider is technologically able to support this solution, we will be happy to reconsider this request.

Reference Universe
I'd like to request that Ex Libris work with Paratext to integrate Reference Universe metadata into Primo.
12 votesHello all,
We have been in contact with Paratext directly, but due to re-licensing agreement limitations we cannot at this time include the Reference Universe content in our Discovery systems.
We are leaving this door open in the event that Paratext will be able to re-license the content at a later stage, in collaboration with their direct providers.Best,

We are currently unable to reach an agreement with IET to ingest INSPEC in the Ex Libris Discovery products.
Therefore this request will be closed.Thank you for your contribution!

add patent information to Primo Central
At its core the Primo Central Index content is all about scientific publications. But since the integration of the ProQuest resources the resource type scope became much wider
https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/@api/deki/files/42859/Primo_Central_Index_Resource_Types.pdf
Patents applications are published by the national patent offices and they are publicly available. For a science and technology audience it would be very beneficial to search patent publications and literature publications in one index. First choice would be the publications from patent offices. Second best would be data from commercial aggregators.35 votesHello all,
Our goal in providing content for our customers is to ensure that it is as optimally searchable and discoverable as possible.
The search requirements for patents are not the same as the standard academic search parameters and fields, nor are the display needs and usage methods.
In order to support these, an optimized Primo user interface would be required, as was developed for newspapers.
Therefore we believe that ingesting patent content at this time would not promote better discoverability or usage.Such an Idea could be suggested on the Primo Idea Exchange Forum, and would need to be assessed accordingly.

Hello,
We have done some updates to improve the availability of the titles in this collection, but that resulted in metadata inaccuracies.
Currently, this collection is managed by the community and will remain as such until we can determine if updates can be done at scale while adhering to library standards by Ex Libris.
Kind regards,

Change labels for Hathi Trust Records that are restricted to search only
Currently, Hathi Trust records appear to have a full-text available label whether they are available in full-text or they are restricted to search only. In Summon restricted items in Hathi Trust are labeled citation online in order to not give the user a false expectation that the item would be available. I would like Primo to treat Hathi Trust records the same way.
112 votesHello all,
Thank you for raising this topic.
This type of request is best addressed via a Support Case, so I am “declining” it here.
That said, we are currently working on renewing this feed from the provider, and based on the indications they send, we will be able to create a more accurate representation of the availability.
This is a lengthy process, but we are aware of this and working to remedy the availability accuracy here.Thank you!
