  1. Index MODS fields

    The documentation on this page (https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/Metadata_Management/180Search_Indexes) suggests that MODS fields are not currently included in many internal search indexes. We would like to see MODS fields included in applicable internal indexes, or (if such indexing is already in place) better documentation of this indexing.

    Alma Digital (soon to become Alma Specto) provides multiple methods for managing book covers or other digital material which are complementary to the print.

    1. Auxiliary representations. These won’t be indexed in Primo as online services, since they don’t represent the complete content of the record. Using the display logic rules, users can define whether they will be displayed via the quick access service or online section in Primo/
    2. Other representation types – You can deactivate the representation, in which case it won’t be indexed or appear in Primo, however a thumbnail will be generated using the file.

  3. Display record format in search results and browse pages

    We catalogue Alma-D material in both MARC and DC formats.
    We would like an easy way to determine which format a record is in when viewing it from either an Alma results page or browsing through a collection.

    This could be done with the addition of the record format field to the brief record display.
