[Wactclc-alma] Record type display field in Primo

[Guidry, Wade]

Paula,

That info is ultimately derived from the Leader/06 of the record in Alma.

Short answer is... change the Leader/06 in the record to "g - Projected Medium", and you should get your desired result.

Longer answer:

In Primo (pre-VE; not sure about Primo VE), Primo normalization can be used to normalize the 06 into something else.

Most typically, normalization is used by institutions to merge multiple material types into a single Primo resource type.

Some resources from ExL, if you want to read further:

Hi,

Where does the record type circled in red come from in the bib record? I need to change Other to Video and I don't see a place in the record to do that.
