[Wactclc-alma] Edit service description or material type for electronic collections?

[Guidry, Wade]

Lesley,

To my knowledge, you should be able to set material type. Are you finding a reference otherwise?

And generally with a local collection, the link text shown in Primo VE is the name of the collection, like 'Films on Demand'.

Unless you mean the 'Full text available' shown below.

That is editable as a Discovery label, but it will be the same text for all content. So maybe 'Full Access' as you suggest. Or maybe just 'Available.'

Okay, I have another question!

I'm in the process of adding a new electronic collection of audiobooks.

I did a bit of research this morning and it seems I cannot change the options under "Service" or "Material Type" for electronic collections. You can edit physical material types, but not electronic. Is that right?

I'd prefer Audiobook over Streaming Audio.

Also, with more streaming media, I'd really like to edit the service label description from "Full Text" to something more inclusive of non-text media. Maybe "Full Access"? Anyway, it doesn't seem like we can edit that either.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
