[Wactclc-primo] Database search in new UI

[Guidry, Wade]

Amy,

Yes, you could try going that route, which would require an SF case.

An easier, and maybe better (as in more accurate) approach would be to simply request via SF an addition to the topic menu of a static link to your existing LibGuides Databases A to Z list:

http://libguides.olympic.edu/az.php?q=

That way, you can leverage the nice page you've already built.

I know there are other WACTCLC schools already taking this approach.

Green River (https://wactc-greenriver-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?vid=GREENRIVER_V1&sortby=rank ) for example.

They have a top menu option of "Search Databases", which simply links to GR's own LibGuides page.

Subject: [Wactclc-primo] Database search in new UI

I was looking for something else and came across this document that shows how to add a "Database" browse search to the new Primo UI, similar to the A-Z/Journal browse, and subject browse.  Is anyone here doing this?  https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/Alma_Online_Help_(English)/Alma-Primo_Integration/040Configuring_the_Primo_Front_End_for_an_Alma_Data_Source/Database_Search

Since it involves Back Office, I assume I'd have to request this via Salesforce?

Thanks,
