Portfolios for HathiTrust journals
The Alma Community Zone does not have a HathiTrust collection with electronic journal portfolios, but only database-type collections. It would be helpful to have portfolios for the electronic journals so that the titles could be included in Journal searches and coverage indicated.

Counting mechanism that is user-based?
For example, if my initials are like DBob and I have pin and linked serials and monographs every day in different languages, is it possible to rig up an add-on to the software Voyager that could link users with what work they did based on language or in general? That way, instead of items being hand counted, the library tech or the clerk who does inventory could just run a scan and see their numbers?

Enable the addition of an "institutionId" parameter to the service for CREDOreference Academic Core Backfile
Without the additional "institutionId" parameter, if signing in using SAML or OpenAthens the link generated by the parser does not know the institution you have linked from. You will be challenged to select institution and then taken to the sign in page. Once this is resolved you are taken to the Credo Reference homepage as it has forgotten the original linking parameter. This is resolved by adding the parameter ?institutionId=1234 (where 1234 is your institution ID).
Please add the institionId as an optional parameter that is added to the url that is generated by the parser.1 voteHello,
Please submit this request as a support case so that our team can address this linking change request directly.

Ensuring Journal Titles are displayed in correct case in Primo
Generally journal titles tend to be displayed in sentence case rather than headline case. Is there any setting we can do in Primo to ensure that Journal Titles are displayed in the correct case?
This creates problems when the records are exported to EndNote via .ris file export. Is there any setting we can do in Primo to ensure that Journal Titles are displayed in the correct case?
According to ExLIBRIS, the journal title (JF tag) is taken from the PNX addata/jtitle. If this field is written in lower case, the journal title will be exported the same. For CDI…1 voteHello,
