Dashboards can be very handy for viewing a group of associated reports. In addition to creating a dashboard, we will also look at the process for adding a dashboard prompt.

The Kentucky Digital Newspaper (KDNP) program, at the University of Kentucky Libraries, seeks to preserve Kentucky newspapers and make them freely available. The KDNP offers over eighty-seven thousand metadata records of historical newspaper content. While UK Libraries is embarking on its Primo VE implementation, the idea to integrate KDNP content into Primo VE was proposed and thus a project began to import the records. We decided to use a Generic XML file to import the records into Primo VE. This required the creation of a Discovery Import profile in Alma which used a normalization process containing normalization rules to transform the XML into a Dublin Core record and to create local fields. This project also involved mapping local fields for display, creating a local resource type, creating thumbnail images, and indexing full text for searching. This presentation outlines the work we performed to import and display the content.

Data Visualization, new with the recent upgrade to Oracle Analytics Server, allows libraries to present abstract information in graphical form. Using Data Visualization provides opportunities to better spot patterns, trends and correlations that might otherwise go unnoticed. During this session, we'll create several examples that focus on different aspects of Data Visualization.

This session focuses on the concepts of discovery and delivery, how library collections and e-resources are presented in Primo, and how the user experience can be customized. Also explores what factors influence searching for physical and electronic resources, and how results are ranked using Primo's relevancy ranking algorithms.

This session covers how George Washington University addressed some streaming media problems like portfolio creation, differing license periods for individual titles, and enhancing access and discovery using Alma tools such as import profiles, the portfolio loader template, and collections.

This presentation is an introductory look at how to create and manage sets in Alma. I will define what a set is and explain the difference between logical and itemized sets, along with how each type can be used. I'll also go over some "best practices" for creating sets. Finally, we will examine how to create a set from an Excel file of system numbers.
