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.

Hi Dan:

Interesting. How would you formulate a link to a collection in Alma if you wanted to provide that link from the library home page?

Hey Traci,

That link should remain persistent but it will be vulnerable to changes from Ex Libris. That is, if for whatever reason they decided to encode their facet attributes differently, it'll change how this result page is generated when users click on it. For now though it should be safe.

I think Ex Libris would encourage us to work with Collections in Alma instead. Collections are defined within Alma, which means we could rely on them to be grouped together, as opposed to this search result list which will change based on your collection inventory as well as how Primo behaves.

Hello,


If I create a link to a search in Primo, will it remain persistent? I want to create a link that will display all of our fiction titles in our collection. Here’s the link to the search I ran.

https://sbctc-btcctc.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?query=any,contains,%3F&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01STATEWA_BTC:BELLINGHAM&facet=tlevel,include,available_p&facet=rtype,include,books&facet=topic,include,Fiction&lang=en&offset=0

Thanks,
Traci
