• I updated and edited formats/facets in Primo back office.
• I think most of them work well and accurately describe the resource.
• Here is a google doc listing the new/revised format/facets

Issues

• Some format/facets have incorrect icons.
  • Tried to update Update sandbox central package (with new icons) in Primo sandbox back office but got validation error:
    file type ds_store is not allowed in zip file.
    • still need icons fro 3d objects, cd/dvd-rom
  • Maybe I have to add icons in Primo BO production?
• New/revised formats don’t appear in advanced search in the material type drop-down.
  • (Maybe I have to configure another table in BO?)views wizard, tiles config, and select new format types
• After format/facet re-alignment, a resource might probably have fewer facets
  • Some definitions have been made more narrow
• Microform and gov docs remain as facets-only and are not formats.
  • Because a monograph on microform is a book and a monograph published by a government agency is a book.
  • I think microform and gov docs are more useful to the user as facets.
• DVD/Blu-ray combo packs.
  • Movies are often sold in a combo pack (DVD + Blu-ray) so the corresponding bib record encodes the characteristics of both.
  • Plus a library’s inventory may vary; a library could have the DVD and/or Blu-ray copy of the movie.
  • Additionally, Primo may dedupe/merge the various bib records.
  • Result: difficult to use Primo facets/format to narrow down blu-ray or dvd movies.

• Still a work in progress.Works better
  
  • Desired vocabularies (LC, nasat) appear in browse
  • But undesired Unselected vocabularies (FAST) continue to display even though the norm rules should be excluding them.fast, gnd) do not
  • See Google doc.
• Looked at other Primo institutions:
  • Univ WA, Emory Univ browse by many subject vocab beyond LC
  • Univ WI Madison uses a custom subject browse? 

  • UC Davis uses LCSH and MeSH only.

    • But their bib records only have LCSH and MeSH whereas we have all the subjects in the Worldcat master record.

  Might end up just leaving browse subject as is. even if some fast headings appear, you can still browse by LC

  • • .

We have a lot of good information in Google docs.

Capture them in some way? Move them into Confluence?

David will circle back with Marcus and Israel.

David, Israel, and Marcus will pick up renorm 2018-C with any tweaks, corrections.

David will work with new Discovery and Resource Management committees to re-constitute this task force in the Fall.
