<div dir="ltr">Others have already made the comments that I would have made, but I would like to add, in regard to Primo, that you can configure the de-duping and FRBR-ization of bib records so that rare materials are not clustering in search results with other related items. When we first came up on Primo, physical copies of rare books were getting clustered with ebook and microform versions of the same title, and the ebook always displayed as the primary item in the cluster, so unless someone knew to drill down, users might not know that we had a physical copy of the book. We were able to configure things so that materials in special collections locations did not get combined in Primo search results with other formats, but it took some convincing because most people (including ExLibris) assumed that e-versions would ALWAYS be preferred by users. We were also able to get some targeted searches set up, limiting to special collection materials. None of this is Alma-specific, but since you brought up Primo I wanted to mention it.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 18, 2019 at 1:37 PM Gemberling, Ted P <<a href="mailto:tgemberl@uab.edu">tgemberl@uab.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

for our libraries. Admittedly we don’t have a lot of 590 notes. They are mostly in our Special Collections materials.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SMU migrated from Voyager to Alma in the summer of 2017. Off the top of my head, here are my two cents about issues that specifically relate to cataloging rare or special collections materials.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First, bound-withs work very differently in Alma than in Voyager. I find the Alma workflow to catalog bound-withs to be more cumbersome, although the record displays and discoverability in both Alma and in Primo seems to work fine.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second issue concerns local notes. When we migrated, we went from an environment where all the campus libraries shared Voyager, but didn’t share bib records. Our bibs all migrated as separate bibs, but going forward in Alma we have
had to share new records. We all had been accustomed to using 590 fields in our specific records for local notes, but in a shared record environment that can get sort of messy. We have looked at using other MARC fields in the holdings record to put in copy
specific notes such as donor notes, provenance, etc. But my understanding is that such notes aren’t necessarily searchable in Primo. I would love to find out that I am wrong about that, however!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As I said, that is my two cents. Others may have different perspectives.
