Idea Exchange vote
by Wendy Ellis 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

[cid:e0ea34e8-d9e8-467e-9a47-1a4d3649e236]Good Morning SERUG, During an FLVC meeting there was a question about whether, in Quick Cataloging, it's possible to modify the default setting in Placement of new record, to Institution instead of Network, see image below. We weren't able to find any setting that controls this, but there is a Idea Exchange about it that was posted in 2018. It only got 15 votes. https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308173-alma/suggestions/35826790-cre… If this is of interest to you, please consider voting for it, maybe we can resurrect it. In terms of the programming work to make this happen, it seems like it would be an easy one.

06 Feb '25

All, In preparation for the upcoming Next Discovery Experience (NDE) that will replace Primo VE & User Engagement Analytics with Mixpanel that will replace Primo Analytics, FLVC has had a couple of watch parties to view the recordings of webinars held by ExLibris/Clarivate. So far, we've watched, the following, and I've included the Youtube link to the recordings. Zoom into the Next Discovery Experience<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wd0vk64uj0> <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wd0vk64uj0> What's new with Primo Webinar - Q12025<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ-o4wKr7Xo> I've also attached documents of Q&A from the end of each the webinars - some of my comments are in the documents (highlights or in parentheses). You most likely already have this information, but I thought I'd share, just in case.
