Subject: [Wactclc-alma] Noticing Books and eBooks returns other item types

Hey all, has anyone seen an issue like this? I search for books and eBooks in the drop-down, and get journals and other resource types returned. I have to click a second time to limit to books using the Resource Type facet. This obviously is annoying and potentially confusing to the general user. Why not just disable these specific searches if they aren't accurately doing what they say they should do?
