<b>Subject:</b> [Wactclc-primo] Searching Course Reserves by Department<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<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>
