Gosh that would be great to have useful overlap analysis

Given that they own SerSol I'm happy to hear that they are finally improving overlap analysis.

We have Anthrosource from Wiley

I think we have a random journal from Wiley

Another update on that list is "The current DigiCert SAML Certificate will expire on June 8th, 2022. If your institution uses this certificate, Ex Libris recommends that you consult with the IT dept. in your institution, and if required, replace the certificate for Alma and/or Primo VE" Do you think this affects any of us who use SAML to log in to Alma and Primo?

OK thanks!

I have tried searching databases, and nothing comes up.

I've added links to database to Alma, in a couple of ways.

Some of our databases and in there and some aren't. I see there is a "Databases" Resource Type filter

It is probably worth having "Database" results bumped higher on the results list in Primo so you don't have to already know to filter for it

Yes the LDR field never says it is a database, which is super annoying

😼

I like managing our A-Z databases in LibGuides. Pretty easy to maintain. Easily add notes. But there is definitely a value to having databases in Primo too.

The metadata is really important in that page for that structure. The database types/subjects are a great way for users to filter!

Yep, like Lauren says, big value for users to choose based on subject/type/vendor with those drop-downs

Oh I like the idea of collapsing the search box on Advanced Search results. It's annoying how large it is!

We were told to figure out how we would react to this sort of thing.

Can you run EZ Proxy on a virtual box or something?

Ryer what are you doing for database access? Did the vendors set something up for you?

Did libguides create a non-custom URL for you?

We add the assets and they put them on this page for us :)

Yes that search box does poorly in usability tests

I feel that any search box on a library page is going to have that risk. We used to have the college's search box in our header and removed it.

You can now re-label the "Login to LibApps" login at bottom right of libguides pages to something like, "Librarian login"

We have lots of students trying to "log in to the library" with that link ha ha

I don't want to lose control with hosted EZ Proxy

Everything is AWS

Bye all. Will get ready to man the circulation desk. Lynn

Thanks all!

Bye!
