Slack/General Questions

UCSD - New staff member starting working in Primo - thinking about training and onboarding. Specifically front end developer. Any suggestions/thoughts?

UCSB - Newsbank article and NZ GES (ExL Doc) Gem’s notes:

• Implemented in NZ

• Looks like it’s designed to work for CDI articles

  • Link does not appear for journal (example) but does appear for articles (example)

• When I was first testing, the link did not show up in UCSD’s catalog. However, when I went to compile a list of campuses it did not show up in, it showed up in UCSD. The link is appearing sporadically in UCSD’s Primo VE and I don’t know why (screencast). The sandbox continues to be painfully slow to test anything in which makes it very hard to troubleshoot this type of problem.

• Sometimes the link shows but it doesn’t work (UCSB example, UCD example)

UCSB - Displaying both MLA 7th and 8th edition options. Any follow-up questions/comments?

UCR - NZ record with no holdings

CDL - FYI about no CDI in Primo VE for NZ database-type electronic resources.

Reminder sandbox update this weekend
