Recommendations
Campuses will select the Worldcat/Primo integration most appropriate for their campus user needs. The following are recommended approaches to integration:
Display Worldcat materials within Primo via a separate search profile
2. Provide link(s) out to Worldcat from the Primo interface
...
3. Provide both link(s) out to Worldcat and create a separate search profile
...
Reasoning
Each approach has pros and cons. Campuses should consult with local stakeholders (eg. instruction, reference, and interlibrary loan departments) to determine which approach best fits their needs.
Environmental Scan
In progress.
Example libraries:
Blended records: U Buffalo SUNY: https://search.lib.buffalo.edu/discovery/search?vid=01SUNY_BUF:everything&lang=en
Separate search profile: Berkeley https://berkeley.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?vid=01UCS_BER:UCB&lang=en
Link outside to re-run search: Northwestern. Opens WorldCat with the last search terms, including field syntax. Sample search using [au:Chemerinsky] as the search provides a link on Primo results page that re-runs search in WorldCat. (Thru proxy, but eventually the search is executed in WorldCat.) https://search.library.northwestern.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,au:chemerinsky,AND&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&sortby=rank&vid=01NWU_INST:NULVNEW&mode=advanced&offset=0
