[Devereux, Saint-Jean]

wait, actually I see the Alma record may be EBSCO. Do you have an EBSCO local collection?

Is this only happening for ProQuest eBooks, or is it happening for articles, too?
What do the CDI settings on your ebook collections look like?

When I added &showPnx=true on the primo url to look at the CDI records I saw that your examples included a CDI record and an Alma record. Unless you've suppressed ebook collections in either Alma or the CDI you'll get duplicates like that.

Could be something else, but that's my guess.

I do all my work in Alma, but was searching in Primo the other day, and I have questions.

There are a lot of duplicate bibs showing up in Primo that come from ProQuest. Some of them have the same link as my bib record from the library catalog. Some of the ProQuest records are complete garbage, with no linking fields at all. When viewed in Primo, the ProQuest hits often have a little quote included.

Can anyone tell me where these records come from? Are we activating something in error?
