Currently, there are no volume or bulk discounts for ELUNA Learns. ELUNA is committed to keeping the cost for our educational events affordable, especially in these budget-challenged times. In order to provide quality member-based programming, we ask that individuals register for each of the events that are relevant to their work. Sharing login information for group-viewing sessions undermines the ELUNA's ability to provide this programming.

Database discovery interface using Primo. Corinna Baksik, Harvard University.
Database discovery tools are often curated lists of resources presented through LibGuides or websites. This requires redundant metadata entry by staff, and maintaince of active databases in multiple places. When Harvard migrated off of Metalib, we decided to use a dedicated Primo (Back Office) view to support Database discovery, which allows us to leverage existing bibliographic records cataloged in Alma. We curate the list based on a custom 9XX field in Alma. We created a "Best Bets" feature, custom lists of subjects that align with disciplines as named by our multiple schools, and streamlined search results. See https://databases.hollis.harvard.edu
Implementing Direct Linking in Alma/Primo – Improving Accessibility by Eliminating Clicks.Jason Griffith, University of Kentucky.
An area of concern expressed by our users in the 2021 LibQual survey was that accessing electronic resources in Primo was “too clicky.” Users did not understand why clicking a full-text link in Primo would open a full record with a list of sources, rather than take them directly to an article. In response to this concern, I was asked to investigate the feasibility of implementing the Direct Linking feature in Primo. Enabling this feature will take the user directly to the resource with a single click rather than having to choose the resource from a list of services on the full record. While the premise sounds simple, implementing this feature was a lengthy process that involved thorough investigation, collaboration, problem solving, implementation, and testing. This presentation will explain the process used to implement Direct Linking and demonstrate how doing so improved the search experience for our users.
Improving Open Access Linking Quality with LibKey. John Seguin, Third Iron. (Gold Sponsor)
Traditional link resolvers provide linking capabilities to journals over a particular date range, including calculating for an embargo period. However, a large number of titles now are utilizing a hybrid publishing model where only select articles are open access presenting complex linking challenges. Efforts to address this, including adding Unpaywall links, means risking link duplication, broken links, links to non-versions of record, links to retracted articles and other issues due to the mechanisms employed in gathering and presenting this data.In this presentation, we will focus on how recent enhancements to LibKey addresses these issues and help to provide fast, reliable, and comprehensive linking to Open Access articles including those from hybrid journals. Additionally, we'll cover an overview of the new Third Iron analytics reports which will provide data regarding Open Access usage at your library to assist in collection management decisions.
