[Wactclc-primo] [EXTERNAL*]-Re: [Wactclc-alma] Changing material type in Primo

[Elena Bianco]

Hi all:

Just an update to say I solved the issue of how the material type for art works was showing up. I chose to create a local resource type of Art Works. Luckily, all of the records had a local 690 field of Skagit Valley College Art Collection, so I was able to specify that anything with this text in the 690 field get changed over to show Art Work. I also got the normalization rule to work change over the LDR information, so that was good. Thanks, Naoko!

Now I just need to figure out how to get that icon in Primo changed over so it's more interesting.

And, thanks again Dan for the great presentation on Tuesday, because I now have both of the Art Collections up and running and I was able to get that little collage icon thing to work with pictures of the actual art on our campuses, which was cool.

Thanks, all for your help!

Have a good weekend everyone,

Elena

Hi Elena,

You can create a local resource type:

Configuring Local Resource Types for Primo VE
https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Product_Documentation/020Primo_VE/025Display_Configuration/050Configuring_Local_Resource_Types_for_Primo_VE

I created a local resource type "3-D Objects" using the 336 field:

In this case, as long as the 336 field has the subfield $a "three-dimensional form", the material type shows up as 3-D object in Primo.

I admit "3-D object" is not the best term, but I borrowed it from Orbis Cascade Alliance.

I don't know how to change the icon and would love to find out if anyone has done it!

So, we have a large collection of art and most of them, when they transferred over from Millennium, transferred over as if they were not art, but books. The information in the LDR 6 for Type of Record was incorrect. I am trying to figure out a normalization rule to change over all of these records so that the material type in Primo shows up correctly, and I think I can figure that one out by searching to see if there are any other normalization rules that change out the LDR information in records, so I'm not worried about that yet.

However, how the item displays in Primo is really stumping me. I experimented with changing the LDR information in Alma on one of the pieces and it shows up in Alma as Visual material now, but in Primo it shows up as "Other." Is there a way to change that in Primo to be more descriptive and to say Visual Material? Also, is there any way I can change the icon in Primo that will indicate an artwork, instead of that generic paper icon that is there? Thanks for any ideas...
