Hello lovely people in the Wactclc community,

I first admired the WorldCat link that University of Idaho had on their zero results screen which you can see here: UI Library Search - caaeraert ae (exlibrisgroup.com)<https://alliance-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?tab=default_tab&sortby=rank&vid=UID&search_scope=everything&query=any,contains,caaeraert%20ae>

When I reached out, they sent me to this instructions page, which I recently discovered has a small error on it: Implement WorldCat button for zero-result searches - Orbis Cascade Alliance<https://www.orbiscascade.org/programs/systems/pcsg/primo-toolkit/worldcat-button-for-zero-result-searches/>

It's intended to send the user's search query through to the WorldCat search and does not do that.

I've implemented it on our zero results page<https://sbctc-shoreline.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?query=title,exact,Peanutbutterpony,AND&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&sortby=rank&vid=01STATEWA_SHORLINE:SHORELINE&mode=advanced&offset=0>, and fixed it so that it does send the query on! And I found this SUNY knowledgebase article very useful. It suggests that you can also include a Google Scholar link that also inserts the query that they searched<https://slcny.libanswers.com/faq/349866>. Thank you, Wade, for sending me that!

I feel that I have seen this before on other college's websites while helping their students on virtual chat, but it allows you to hit "borrow through ILL" somewhere on the Worldcat page once you end up there. Does anyone know how to configure this? Thanks for the help on Tuesday!

P.S.

You can fix the Orbis Cascade Alliance code by replacing this line:

$scope.searchWorldCat = function() { window.open(($scope.wcBase + "search?databaseList=&queryString=" + $scope.searchTerm), '_blank'); }; }; }]); }

with this line:

$scope.searchWorldCat = function() { window.open(($scope.wcBase + "search?q=" + $scope.searchTerm), '_blank'); }; }; }]); }
