<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The wording in the current FAQs on the topic seems to indicate that we will indeed lose the ability to include newspaper article content in general searches.
(Newspaper title level results would still appear in general searches.) Though, I’m not totally convinced that is what ExL is planning. Their product messaging, particularly prior to a feature release, gets garbled as it passes through management layers at
ExL. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

also share that perspective with our sales rep, since I realize that the ELUNA working groups are more for feature / usability discussions with ExL, not licensing disputes

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">There's a thread going in Primo-L right now regarding the Newspaper Discovery Portal that ExL introduced earlier this year. Ex Libris has adjusted its rollout strategy for this portal due to intense customer feedback. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm taking this subject to the Primo Working Group which is meeting tomorrow but I also wanted to start a thread on it here since the Newspaper Discovery Portal will no doubt have huge impacts across our libraries. How are folks feeling
about the current - if poorly communicated - plans to move newspaper results out of general search results and into its own discovery portal? Has anyone conducted any user testing with students/faculty to see how this change might impact instruction and research? <o:p></o:p></p>
