Link for Primo search all of the VCCS? - jwalz - 01-16-2020
Is there a 'master' link for searching all of the consortium at once? I heard there was and I thought I had one. But the one I have does not work.
What is the link for searching everything?

No, there is no such Primo search. Our Alma NZ implementation structure does not permit this in Primo. The current method is an Alma Network Zone tab search to search VCCS-wide. The old Primo/Aleph implementation did permit this kind of Primo search, but that link is no longer in service.

Oh man. That is a bummer. But you are saying inside of Alma there is a way? And if I search that, how do I know which campus owns a particular title? What does it say? What codes are on the record?
Wouldn't it be nice to have a joint catalog? Isn't what all this sharing is about?
Thanks!
