It seems like the item should be appearing. This might need to go to Ex Libris.

 

Gem’s Notes 3/17/2022

I have confirmed that this isn’t due to any CDL-managed electronic collection. I’m fairly certain this is appearing because of a collection UC Davis has: HathiTrust Digital Library Full View Worldwide. The dbid for it is 1HA. See https://search.library.ucdavis.edu/permalink/01UCD_INST/1hjlc2p/cdi_hathitrust_hathifiles_mdp_39015065448188

There is an unsuppressed CZ record in the NZ for this:

I don’t know how to allow this to work for UC Davis while blocking the CDI records without links from appearing in other campuses' Primo VE. Does anyone else? I’ve created a ticket with Ex Libris to ask.

01UCS_LAL is an Easy Active CDI Customer.
This means that they are only able to indicate in CDI through their configurations what is available to them as Full-Text, and not what is discoverable through their "Expanded" Search.

Single Activation with the EasyActive Setting:
https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/Electronic_Resource_Management/060_Alma_Single_Activation_Source_for_CDI/040Single_Activation_with_the_EasyActive_Setting

EasyActive Setting:

"With the EasyActive setting, all collections with the exception of those listed in the EasyActive collection list are automatically searchable for the user and do not require search activation. We refer to the EasyActive collection list as the “Exception list” in this document. The collections that are automatically searchable will not appear with any activation status on your Alma IZ.
In Alma you manage your full text activations and your search activation for the Exception list. The Exception list contains collections that meet one of the following criteria:
The providers either do not want their content to be searchable automatically or their databases require subscriptions.
Some collections are likely to be used only by some institutions.
What your users see in the filtered search is fully controlled by your full text activations in Alma. Additional search activations only impact the expanded search.
This setting has the advantage that all of the library’s subscribed content is discoverable immediately while the library still maintains control over what content is flagged as Full text available to their users."

As you can see in this search, the referenced article / example is correctly appearing as no full text:
https://search.library.ucla.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,cdi_hathitrust_hathifiles_mdp_39015065448188&tab=Articles_books_more_slot&search_scope=ArticlesBooksMore&vid=01UCS_LAL:UCLA

Screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/1xlyUhHXJ

If you would like this to not occur for articles/resources which are correctly appearing due to the Easy Active Customer Model (all articles can be searched for / found regardless of full text status), we recommend configuring your Primo VE settings to rely on what we call "first" and "second/expanded" search results.

Basically, first search results are what appears first when you conduct a search in Primo, and are limited to what is marked/flagged as Full Text for an institution.
Second/Expanded Search results are what appear afterwards, and are "expanded" to all search results, including those you do not have/are not marked as Full Text for an institution.

We believe the confusion in this case stems from the lack of configuration of the "Second/Expanded" Search results checkbox, which is what usually allows a user to "search beyond" what their institution has marked as full text in their "first search".

Since this is a Primo Configuration/Customization, we would have to refer you to the Primo Support Team regarding how to configure this to appear.
