    It would be great and very helpful to our users if this enhancement could be incorporated into NDE development.

    From recent testing in our Primo VE instance, it seems like for us the language facet and pre-filter work well enough (or relatively so) with Alma records, but it's CDI where the function doesn't seem to work at all. And of course part of the challenge of troubleshooting in CDI is that we can't see what fields are responsible for a problem. In some records, the CTO suggests that the language value may be coming from a field like rft.place, but in many others, there's no sign of the language being filtered within the metadata or full text. Maybe it's coming from metadata in merged records we can't see? Regardless, this is a major problem for researchers who need to either filter out content they can't read or limit to content within their specific language of choice. Can nothing be done about this? It does clearly seem to be a bug that requires development attention and not suitable for enhancement or idea exchange.

    It is also very difficult for users who may craft an Advanced Search in Primo blended scopes and then use the Newspapers Search facet expecting to send this Advanced Search into Newspapers -- who then find that their search terms have not been passed to Newspapers but instead lead to a blank search box in Newspapers. This illustrates for us that users are trying to accomplish Advanced Searches for Newspaper content, so it would be extremely helpful for this functionality to be supported.

    Here is a correction regarding fields 111 and 711; the Relator term in not in $e for 111/711 as it is for 100/110/700/710 -- for 111/711, the Relator term is in $j. Having said that, I think the most crucial need is for the removal of the $e relator terms from 100/110/700/710. I will defer to others who work more with Conference headings for their expertise on the 111/711 fields. 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.

    Nancy Babb commented  · 

    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?

    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.

    Under Review  ·  AdminYael (yael.shahar@clarivate.com, Ex Libris) responded

    Hi,

    This is to update that this issue is still not planned to be developed in the current road map. We will continue to evaluate it for a future release.

    Therefore we are keeping this under "Under review" status.


    Best regards,

    Yael.

    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.

    Being able to display additional text in the description would add terrific value to the banner! The current default does not provide quite enough space to share enough info with users -- this proposal would really improve the functionality and improve the experience of the user.
