<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I am instructing students to just search the Course Instructor’s last name in our course reserve search, then select either “Available in the Library” (for print reserves) or “Full Text Online” (for ereserves),
as a limiter. It is difficult to search from the get-go for the course name or code, and most of our faculty don’t have so many reserves for their courses that we can’t find what we need pretty quickly with just a course instructor search.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When we created our courses for course reserves we entered the course code, course name, and department (e.g., AH108, AH 108, Allied Health).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When we search Primo under our Course Reserves scope and search by Course Department (e.g., Allied), it finds nothing. If we search by the beginning of the course name (e.g., AH), then it finds all of the Allied Health books and in the
facets lists the Course Department as AH rather than Allied Health.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When students search course reserves by department, they won’t know to use the abbreviation and will get zero hits. Is anyone else having this problem or found a solution?<o:p></o:p></p>
