[Wactclc-primo] [External] RE: Trying to fix a Primo Problem with New York Times

[Herman, Amy]

Lesley, I find that NYT results that have ( ) in the title like the (Foreign Desk) example you use, are much less likely to link, but the longer, fuller articles usually do link correctly.  I suspect that the ( ) articles are very small snippets that are part of something ProQuest indexes as a larger article.

Hi Dale,

Pierce College activated US Newsstream in the Community Zone last year.

We ran into a couple of issues, though. First, several hundred of the portfolios are blogs, and our reference librarians weren’t sure about their validity. We actually ended up going through the list of portfolios and deactivating some blogs from the list.

Second, I’m not sure it’s even working. In looking at what comes through Primo, most results are leading to dead ends. For example:

If anyone else has any tips, please do share. For what it’s worth, I’m considering the “E-Resource Management & Workflows Boot Camp” at the Technical Seminar in May.

Hello all,

Edmonds has access to the New York Times, both past and current, through our Proquest subscriptions; however, we are not getting any articles after 2014 in our Primo searches.  We do get current articles when searching directly in the Proquest database, but not in Primo.

When I look at our Proquest titles I see that we have access up to 2014 through our subscription to Proquest Historical New York Times which we have linked through the Primo Central Index.

Our access to the current New York Times is through Proquest US Newsstream, which is part of the state package.  However, I cannot find Proquest US Newsstream in the Primo Central Index or in the Alma Community Zone.

Have other sites discovered this same problem, or has someone discovered what actually needs to be activated through the Primo Central Index in order to get current New York Times articles showing up in Primo.

Thanks!
