Primo VE Features

Ex Libris Documentation

Disc Discussion Page

Selected Notes:

• Automatically Enable Quicklinks – This will get turned on automatically in May (with opt-out option). Because it’s an opt-out feature, Discovery will plan to formally take a look at it in more detail prior to May.

• CDI Subject Normalization and New Keyword Field – People find this interesting. We’ll follow-up in about 4 weeks to talk about what campuses have decided to turn on.

Slack/General Questions

5

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

• Found a Primo VE become an expert webinar series looks like the most promising and organized thing could fine.

• UCR: found the expert series more helpful than the certification. Better to do it than not do it.

• Primo VE certification

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. Update: Never mind, I was using the production URL instead of sandbox.

• 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. This probably likely appeared mid-December. We believe it was resolved this last Monday.

Reminder sandbox update this weekend

Gem will follow-up with RM chairs to ask if we need an NZ Orphaned Bib procedure.

Upcoming Meetings

5

February 23 - Work on decision page for Exclude eBooks from CDI Results. Focus on things to consider before a campus decides whether to turn it on or off.

March 8 - Follow-up on CDI Subject Normalization and New Keyword Field. If done with eBooks/CDI, look at work plan. Potentially discuss Automatically Enable Quicklinks feature.

May 8 - Next Primo VE release meeting
