[Wactclc-primo] [EXTERNAL*]-Re: Link to Search

[Daniel Moore]

Collections maintain a persistent collection ID within Alma, and that's
expressed as an attribute in Primo. For example:
https://sbctc-edcc.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/collectionDiscovery?vid=01STATEWA_EDCC:EDMONDS&collectionId=8123449000002809


So that link will remain persistent and could be shared via syllabi and
Canvas shells with little worry of it breaking.
