An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Now that in November 2022 Ex Libris came out with a Primo VE enhancement: Provide Direct Linking from Full Record- this is rising as an issue that needs to be resolved.
When you turn on the direct linking from full record functionality in Primo VE, it then breaks the Alma "View It" resources. What is frustrating about this is to see all the databases associated with the record, you have to go to discovery and see the "View Online" section. However, you used to be able to see all this data already in Alma before you turned on the functionality. We would like direct linking turned on for our discovery, but have it turned off in Alma to still see all the details of that resource, as Librarians want to see all the details, but Patrons do not need to see all the details. As it stands today, you either get a broken screen in Alma or a ProQuest result, but only that one ProQuest provider link, not all the links available to us. This is disruptive to the resource-sharing workflow that we do solely in Alma where we used to be able to see all the links available to us for a resource. We would like this functionality turned on for our patrons, but not be disruptive to our Alma backend workflow.

We are exploring options for this idea. The priority of the results is set by either Primo or Summon, so we cannot simply show the newest edition first unless the discovery ranking changes. However, we could potentially develop an option using the Questions feature in which the system could recognize that the instructor has added something which has other editions. The library could then configure a question for the instructor to understand if they want that edition, any edition, or the newest edition, for example. Would this help meet the need?

Thanks, Beth! As an update, a shoutout to Alison Davis from Purdue University who let me know that the if you go to Direct Linking Configuration and check the box for "Disable direct linking for journals", the "View It" will then work in Alma, but the Test Access can still come up as an issue.
