[Wactclc-primo] Question about SERIES Links and CALL NUMBER Links in Primo

[Guidry, Wade]

Dale,

I believe what you are talking about are referred to as lateral links.

This page specifically mentions series fields: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Knowledge_Articles/Configure_lateral_links_in_Normalization_Rules

I’d recommend opening an SF ticket, and asking for laterial links be configured for the series field.

You can also ask about call number. But I’m guessing that, since lateral links are keyword rather than browse searches, and call number searches are browse-based, lateral links probably won’t be applicable to call numbers.

Subject: [Wactclc-primo] Question about SERIES Links and CALL NUMBER Links in Primo

In our Primo catalog SERIES are not hot linked or faceted for searching purposes.   This makes is more difficult to find only the items in a particular series.  An example of this would be searching to the "for dummies" series.  If I do a keyword search in Primo I get over 37,000 hits.  I can restrict my search to "Available in the Library" and see the 24 that are in my print collection, but I cannot find everything in this series in various formats without getting non-series items included.

Also, the CALL NUMBER for our items is not hot linked.  It is possible to do a virtual browse, but virtual browse is limited to seeing only a few items at a time.  It is also possible to do a call number browse search, but it would be more convenient to be able to link to a call number from within a record rather than having to redo your search as a browse search.

Can these two searches be created?
