After more investigation the Proxy settings problem appears to be isolated to a few libraries. CARLI staff will follow up with them as needed.
Late today CARLI staff got reports of mainly EBSCOhost electronic collection links not connecting in PrimoVE. Further investigation found that some of the proxy settings were changed to “no” at the full text service level.
To check, go to your Alma and look up EBSCOhost electronic collections. Select one and click on “Collection Editor”
Then to "Additional" tab, then scroll down to Full text service.
Go to full text service editor, then to linking tab.
Scroll down a little to the proxy section.
Then change the proxy to "yes" and select your default proxy and save.
Steps to get to the full text service level linking tab
CARLI is investigating how these involuntary proxy changes happened.
RESOLVED 1:30PM 7/30/2020 - Ex Libris has corrected the issue and the local Request forms should once again be displaying when you click the link in the Get It section of Primo VE.
CARLI has heard from some I-Share institutions who are offering local request (their patrons, requesting their items) that the local Request form does not open on screen after patrons select the local request link in the Primo VE Get It section. We have reported this to Ex Libris and will provide an update when we have one. Thank you for your patience!
RESOLVED 7:00pm, Monday, July 27
From 2:53pm until 6:10pm on Monday July 27, the CARLI Support Ticketing System was malfunctioning. Most new emails to support@carli.illinois.edu were rejected and those that were accepted by the system arrived without any content. Any emails in reply to an existing ticket sent by library staff to support@carli.illinois.edu were received as "Correspondence added", and any emails that CARLI staff tried to send from the system were sent only with the text "Correspondence added". CARLI staff will reach out on any tickets that have been affected by this outage to request additional information as needed; however, if you sent an email to CARLI Support on Monday afternoon and did not receive an automatic message reply with a ticket number [CARLI Support #116nnn], please submit your ticket again to support@carli.illinois.edu. Thank you!

CARLI has opened a support issue with Ex Libris regarding the slow response times of the "Get It" section of Primo VE record displays. The Ex Libris development team is actively investigating the issue for a cause and for solutions. CARLI staff are continuing to contribute examples of this issue to aid in the ongoing investigation.

I-Share Alma Production/Cutover Load Bibliographic Data Review that was scheduled to begin on June 17 has been delayed.
Our Alma environments are not yet ready for your review or use. I-Share Libraries: Please do not attempt to login to Alma or Primo VE until CARLI announces that the system is ready. Attempts to login while the Alma data are being loaded can slow down the processing of our data.
CARLI will broadly announce Alma becoming available for Data Review testing, and if any deadlines will need to be adjusted. Please continue to watch your email and our website. Thank you!
On Tuesday, May 19, 2020 from 5:00am to 7:30am, some CARLI websites and services will be inaccessible for a short time while the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign performs campus firewall maintenance. While they have scheduled a two- and half-hour window, they do not expect the maintenance to take the entire period.
Services affected by this downtime include:
If you experience problems connecting to any of these services after 7:30am on Tuesday, May 19, please contact CARLI Support. Thank you.
RESOLVED May 11, 2020 - 4:00pm - Local holdings are once again displaying in Primo VE. CARLI has received word from Ex Libris that the May 10 software release reverted the setting that they fixed last week. Ex Libris has noted this important setting for the June release and will make sure to check it.
UPDATE May 11, 2020 - 11:00am - CARLI has received and confirmed reports from I-Share institutions that local holdings are once again not displaying in Primo VE. We have reopened the high priority case with Ex Libris.
RESOLVED May 7, 2020 - 8:00am - Ex Libris has corrected the problem and local holdings are once again displaying in Primo VE. Please contact CARLI if you notice any problems with local holdings displays that have not been resolved. Thank you!
May 5, 2020 - 3:45pm - CARLI has received reports that local holdings are not reliably displaying in Primo VE. The "How to get it" section may not display your institution’s local holdings and items at all, and the Search Results list may show "Check for available services >" instead of your institution's holdings location, call number, and availability information.
This has been reported to Ex Libris as a high priority problem and they are actively investigating. CARLI does not have any estimate from Ex Libris as to when this problem will be corrected, but we will send an update as new information is known.
We have received all the information that we need, so no additional reports or examples are needed at this time.
Thank you for your patience.
