@Christian Ward (Unlicensed) has provided these directions on Slack for building deep links using prefilters:

You can create deeplinks with location based prefilters by using the following URL syntax:

https://csu-csus.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?query=any,contains,%22*%22,AND&tab=LibraryCatalog&search_scope=MyInstitution&vid=01CALS_USL:01CALS_USL&mfacet=location_code,include,1671%E2%80%9313652010001671%E2%80%932nnb,1&lang=en&offset=0&mode=advanced

Where:
?query=any,contains,"*",AND will perform a wildcard search


&mfacet=location_code,include,1671–13652010001671–2nnb,1 represents the library and location code to prefilter. You can add multiple prefilters by repeating this code for each location. Note: the 2nnb code represents your Alma location code value.


&mode=advanced forces the advanced search which allows users to search results within the prefiltered facetSince you have your items at a dedicated location you should be able to form a similar URL for your records. I would suggest running a few searches in OneSearch to limit items to the location(s) you want, then use the URL to determine the codes for those locations.
