[Wactclc-alma] Segmented Sources in Search

[Bem, Greg]

Hey all,

Over the past couple weeks I've seen a few different colleges provide a search experience where source types are segmented from the beginning of the search process. An example is here, where this library uses "Stacks," a product from EBSCO, to divide sources a la "bento style" and the user can click into them individually, which would connect with the discovery layer:

https://library.wilson.edu/multisearch?bentoq=test&catalog=bento

I know that Blacklight offers similar functionality, though the examples I've seen are beyond hideous.

Do you know if Primo has anything like this, or if there's a relatively beautiful open source app that could do this type of functionality?

I appreciate especially the topical page that shows up first (linking to a Credo or other reference page on the keyword/subject area). For our students especially, this is way more user friendly than the typical Primo search results listing.
