Brainstorm on pain points and needs

@David Walker

• Saved records

  • Limits on the total you can save and see

  • Check for active cases

• Relevancy of results

  • Librarians: “a lot of crap comes back.”

    • Mismatch in expectations vs. actual results

  • Students don’t seem to complain as much

• Known item searching

  • Changes to author searching may have negatively impacted this -- “Curious George.”

  • Issues with boosting?

  • More fundamental issues?

• Reviews swamping actual book results

• Not all 5XX fields being indexed

  • e.g., 546 Language (text entry)

    • 041, language leader also

    • ‘nai’ for small native American tribes

  • Primo VE vs. making local changes

• Resource types

  • Audio vs. video and sub-types in the facets

• Delays with synching data

  • Turning off collections in PCI

  • Primo VE to the rescue?

  • Availability

• Discoverability for when we don’t have a record

  • Books and articles

  • Recommended options via links

• Getting more metadata into PCI

  • e.g., MLA with EDS

  • Gale metadata with poor linking

• U Resolver menu

  • Availability is too complex

  • Request hidden until you login

• Ebsco deep search

  • Resource types really limited

  • Book chapters, dissertations

  • Messes with ILL

• Language facets give inaccurate results

• Primo Back Office is stupid complex

• Printing from single items and list is missing data

• Creating list of books for sharing not easy

• ADA: tool tips not on everything
