Better publisher filters in Rialto query builder
It is difficult to exclude publishers from a DDA pool due to poor filter design in Rialto. The filters rely on keyword matching rather than controlled values. This allowed unwanted publishers' books to enter our DDA pool, and the removal process was tedious and highly error prone, taking months to complete. Rialto needs better publisher filtering so unwanted publishers do not enter the DDA pool at all. One possibility is that publisher names could be a controlled vocabulary selected via a dropdown menu. This would ensure that unwanted publishers are excluded from libraries' selection plans. This would also eliminate the tedious and error-prone manual labor required to remove unwanted publishers once they had entered the DDA pool.
