EBSCOhost and possibly other Electronic Collections in Alma/PrimoVE

 Friday, August 28, 2020 - 1:48pm

After more investigation the Proxy settings problem appears to be isolated to a few libraries. CARLI staff will follow up with them as needed.

 

Problem Under Investigation: EBSCOhost and possibly other Electronic Collections in Alma/PrimoVE

 Wednesday, August 26, 2020 - 5:32pm

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.

The steps to get to the full text service level linking tab are illustrated at https://www.carli.illinois.edu/products-services/i-share/electronic-res-man/electronic-collections-librarys-customer-and-location-ids

CARLI is investigating how these involuntary proxy changes happened.

Primo VE not displaying local holdings

 Tuesday, May 5, 2020 - 3:45pm

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.
