Recommendation
The Primo VE Database search does not currently meet our needs. Most of this is likely due to a lack of desired functionality. However, troubleshooting is complicated by the continued post-migration cleanup of electronic collections. Because the current A-Z lists meet most of our needs, we recommend coming back to this topic was the majority of electronic resource cleanup has finished in the NZ.
Desired Behavior
Users can use Database search or simple search to find databases by title.
Users can search for “database” and retrieve a list of databases.
Users can browse an A-Z list
Initial concerns
The documentation states that Database Search for Primo VE does not allow browsing using A-Z links.
Library/Users definition of a “database” does not always match Ex Libris' definition. As a result, titles should should appear when doing a database search do not.
Librarians (and users?) don’t like the division by subject/category.
