Good work, Amy.

Though, for direct link to My Library Card login, you should remove that last parameter, so the URL would simply appear as:

https://olympic-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/account?vid=OLYMPIC

And you can leave off the language as well.

Just FYI, these kinds of links are usually referred to as "deep links"

There is a lot of info about deep links in the Primo-L list, and in the Alma and Primo docs and in the developer's site.

There's a lot you can do with deep links, like use them for searches for predetermined search terms, etc.

So, if you're ever searching around online for additional info, include the term "deep links".

I have spent the afternoon messing with Primo URLs and thought I'd share my results, in case they also work for others (switching out your own library name of course).


Basic search, set to Library Catalog scope:
https://olympic-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?tab=default_tab&search_scope=OLYMPIC_ALMA&vid=OLYMPIC&lang=en_US&offset=0


Advanced search, set to Course Reserves scope:
https://olympic-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?tab=default_tab&search_scope=OLYMPIC_COURSE&sortby=rank&vid=OLYMPIC&lang=en_US&mode=advanced&offset=0
