What is this useful for?!) (try “Bible”) LOC call no. Ignoring single digits after decimal place is still broken (since last November) (try “M3.1”)My Favorites Saved records This is where things go when you click the push-pin Select items to perform actions Add label—instead of folders you now get tags; filter on the right Unpin Actions/push-to menu, e.g., to email, print, use bibliographic utility Saved searches Option to pin a search if you are logged in Can create an email alert, RSS feed after August releaseMy Favorites Search history From current session only Option to save searches from this page To return to current search click on the magnifying glass by your name (back-button in browser does not always behave predictably in single-page applications)My Account Overview page Loans: sort, renew (all, selected), expand/collapse Requests Fines and fees Blocks and messages Personal details, contact info., expiration dates, letters (soon I will have “edit” buttons hidden, since you can’t edit our info)Services Page 6,000,000 times better than the classic UI (no tabs!) Go to PQ Research Library, search on “net neutrality” If electronic portfolio available “View it online” (e.g., “Net neutrality faces a political firestorm”) If physical item available “Get it in the library” (e.g., “Viewpoint when network neutrality met privacy”) If neither “Get it in the library” with “There are no physical holdings for your search” (many libraries put ILL link here) As before, if available in PQ Research Library other PQ links are hidden, if available in EBSCO ASC other EBSCO links are hiddenPrimo Analytics I haven’t done anything with these yet, but they’re available What kind of usage are facets gettingPrimo Analytics Zero-results searchesComing Soon August Release Email security Sticky facets Sort in favorites Featured results Multiple facet selection RSS feeds in new UI Silent login authentication Search expansion with controlled vocabulary Resource recommenderComing Soon NRWG Music information from 382, 383, and 384: display, facets, index Work information from 041, 046, 257, 370, 377, and 386: display, facets, index Audience information from 385, 521, and 008: display, facet, index Relator terms from 100 and 700: facets Local title from 95X to “Includes” and “Related Works and Collections” display Alternate form of title includes 210, 222, 242, 246 Uniform title excludes 246 Links in 856 now exclude local fields from other institutions Links to Amazon and WorldCat made independentComing Soon NRWG Topic facet: now only LCSH and FAST Genre facet: foreign language genre terms excluded Creator facet: forms from different sources (e.g., PCI vs. MARC) normalized and combined ISBN/ISSN indexes: data from 020$e and 022$e added lds50 has class attribute added for unique customization (i.e., virtual bookplates) Some of these are implemented globally in the Alliance by NRWG, but most are merely enabled, so I will need to configure our Primo
