[Wactclc-alma] Primo Newspaper search

Thu Mar 2 10:32:45 PST 2023

Does anyone have the Newspaper Search activated in Primo?  If so, does it work well for you to have it separated out from the rest of the search scopes?  Would you recommend it over just guiding your students to search the newspaper databases on their native platforms?

When the Newspaper Search feature first came out my understanding was that if you activate it, then you won't have newspapers showing up in an Everything search.  So we decided to not activate the newspaper search because we didn't want newspapers siloed.  Either I misunderstood or something has changed.

I just got this response from EL (below, highlighted in yellow) about our newspaper portfolios not appearing in Primo, along with the FAQ, which indicate that they have already stripped newspapers out of Primo for databases that are more than 80% newspapers, whether or not you have the separate Newspaper Search activated... ugh!

Hi Amy,

The U.S. Newsstream and U.S. West Newsstream collections are defined in CDI as a "Newspaper search only". Collections that only available in Newspaper search would not appear in the regular search and in order to see their content in Primo, the Newspaper search option needs to be enabled in Discovery. To enable that option go to Discovery > Central Index and Proxy Set-Up and enable the Newspaper search checkbox. Then go to your View ( Discovery > Configure Views > Edit View) and under the General Attributes section enable the "Display link to Newspapers Search" option.

I noticed today that our local newspaper (Kitsap Sun)
is listed as a portfolio in two databases that we have activated (U.S. Newsstream and U.S. West Newsstream) but no articles from the portfolio show up in Primo. Not sure if I need to adjust some settings in the portfolio or the service?

Portfolio IDs for Kitsap Sun: 334578440002816 and 5334578460002816

Tested with "One dead following crash involving South Kitsap School District bus" (see screenshots attached)

Thank you,
