    Hi,

    It will be possible to configure the system (with a utomatic renew rule output parameter to say whether to send an email to the patron when renewal takes place.

    If emails are sent, they will be sent in an aggregated manner (single notice for all renewed loans)

    I agree.

    The fastest workaround I see at the moment, in Primo VE:
    - click on the label you want to edit
    - click in the checkbox above the list of titles = select them all
    - click on the 'edit' pencil icon in the banner -> New -> add your new label
    (the new label should now include the same titles as the old one)
    - click again on the 'edit' pencil icon
    - delete the old label

    Workaround by Bill Constantine via the Primo mailing list:

    "add the first letter to the metadata for the categories/subcategories.
    For example, AccessEngineering has this in the bib record 690 $$a A-Z $$bA. The other categories are in 690s as well."

    Result:

    I agree that it is a strange construct.

    Having separate labels to inform the patrons about what they are going to search in (instead of informing them _after_ the search about what they just did), would help - and could be done with relatively little effort?

    ----

    What I would like to see are some radio buttons (= mutually exclusive), visible on any level of the collection discovery
    - search only this collection
    - search this collection and its sub-collections
    - search all collections

    Did not make it through round 2 of NERS 2023.

    (15 complexity points, got 2929 votes).

    Personally I consider this more of a bug fix than a feature request. We're talking about library catalogues here.

    (Ideally the patrons should be able to decide if they want to export all call numbers or only the ones of a specific library.)

    > In CDI, expansion is constant, by term inflection applied to all searches

    As a side effect, this also leads to incrompehensible/confusing numbers of hits with truncated search:

    The problem is documented, but patrons can't know that

    "A wildcard search does not necessarily return more results than the same search without the wildcard. This is because CDI’s multilingual search features (such as stemming/lemmatization, synonym mapping and spelling normalization) are not applied to wildcard searches."

    > In CDI, expansion is constant, by term inflection applied to all searches

    We just had a patron stumble over this.

    Not only does he get the impression that search in our catalog is broken, but he also waisted a lot of time chasing an article that in the end turned out to NOT FIT his search criteria.
