    Alma is a solution for staff, perhaps, but not for end users; their only access is via Primo.

    It was included on this year's NERS ballot but alas didn't make it through; it was not even in top 20. But it is indeed possible in Primo BO with the AVA field, and not possible in Primo VE (which doesn't use that field) so it's a parity issue. Perhaps it could be addressed as such?

    Our researchers are looking for the ability to include call number in the Excel file export, so that they have quick reference to location within the libraries. We would support it being added, based on this user need.

    Any use we can make of ORCID would be of great benefit; this proposal would correct what seems to be a current error that makes the data not really usable.

    Is there any update on the status of this request? We're wondering about the "Under Review" notation before we submit NERS request for 2023. Thanks!

    Boosting newer and especially the current edition is really needed -- institutions are trying all sorts of work arounds to make these editions more prominent for users (ex: added to Resource Recommenders). A simpler and more comprehensive approach would help the users greatly.

    The Primo BO documentation for Resource Recommender clarifies that, "For the highest ranked resource type, the system reserves the first two recommendation slots on the Brief Results page. For example, if the Database resource type has the highest ranking and has two matching recommendations, both of its recommendations will display in the first two slots. The third and last slot will be filled by the first matching recommendation from the next highest ranked resource."
    (see https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Product_Documentation/Primo/Back_Office_Guide/115Resource_Recommender)
    We REALLY need to change this! For so many of our recommended Databases and Guides, there is more than one entry per tag, and so with great frequency only 2 types of Recommenders are displayed. This is TERRIBLE -- because the 3rd type of Recommender is then always hidden, and our users don't even know it's there. Our Primo Analytics for Resource Recommenders confirm this problem, with use of all other Recommenders severely lower than the top 2.
    I can not think of any reason why 2 from any type of recommender would have to be displayed by default. Why was this limitation put in place? Why can't institutions change it?

    This proposal was not approved in NERS 2022, but there has also been no update from Ex Libris on this Idea Exchange proposal since March 2020, when additional information was requested. Can Ex Libris please confirm whether more information is still needed, and what the status is? Thanks!

    Are more examples and use cases still needed?

    An error occurred while saving the comment
    Nancy Babb commented  · 

    As a very simple example, I may search for some broad topics, like "therapy dogs" and "stress relief" -- and after searching realize that what I actually want is resources related to "therapy dogs" and "stress relief", especially if I find that I get a great number of results with either single search, possibly including non-relevant results. It would be a great time saver to simply be able to combine these two searches via selecting them in Search History and using a boolean operator. (Alternately, one could also opt to include multiple searches with few results via this method.) An indication of the number of results included in each search result would indeed be helpful, too.

    I found some ProQuest documentation on "How to Combine Two or More Recent Searches" https://support.proquest.com/articledetail?id=kA1400000008WjbCAE that may be illustrative.

    An example of use case is the ability for users to combine their searches in new and different ways; for example, building iterative searches, being able to most efficiently narrow and manage searches. The current functionality mentioned (selecting multiple facets, using advanced search) all require pre-coordination of searching, so a user who wishes to add complexities or refine criteria will always have to re-start the search from scratch. Combining searches is a more sophisticated and efficient and fairly common tool. Are more specific examples required?

    Note that Primo BO (not VE) includes numerous Resource Recommender Enrichments; see: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Product_Documentation/Primo/Back_Office_Guide/115Resource_Recommender
    These Enrichments should be available in VE as well, and would address at least some of these issues.

    We would appreciate the ability to enable "fuzzy" or expanded matching within Resource Recommender, for example, matching "&" with "and" and ignoring punctuation. We currently have to add multiple tags to cover all variations upon which a user might search, which is extremely time-consuming and cumbersome.

    With the recent (2022) enhancements to Resource Recommender functionality, adding Banner type and introducing "display always" functionality -- is there a possibility that sorting/relevancy display options will also be enhanced?

    Nancy Babb commented  · 

    It would be great if we could even designate, say, the top 3 priority resources, so that we could ensure which resources would be displayed in the brief results list, with other resources then available in the "See all suggested resources" window.

    We would also appreciate improved management options for user tags. The ability to approve/reject would be very helpful. A related improvement might be the ability to limit creation by user group.
