Many institutions want to use links that point to Primo VE or need to change some that once pointed to the Primo New UI.

Methods to do so will be discussed here.

Note: In all the methods discussed, the brackets are always removed when inputing the local institutional data. So, for example <hostname> is replaced completely, including the < and >.

Any embedded links that use Deep Linking should most likely be updated to Primo VE links. Although these links will likely be redirected for a time and will point to Primo VE correctly, that may not always be the case after a certain amount of time passes.

New UI link is:

https://galileo-usg-gsu-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?tab=default_tab&vid=GSU_V1

Primo VE link is:

https://galileo-xxx.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?vid=01GALI_xxx:xxx_xx&tab=LibraryCatalog

Notes:

• primo-explore has changed to discovery in Primo VE links

• Add your institution "code" after galileo- (1st xxx)

• Add you institution "code" after 01GALI_ (2nd xxx)

• Finally, look at your "old" Primo URL for the vid and add that (without the equals sign) to the final xxx_xx (your code may not include _V1)

https://<hostname>/discovery/login?vid=<institution_code:view_code>

Changes to make to the above code:

• The value <hostname> should be replaced with your base Primo URL (remove the < >). For example, MGA's is "galileo-mga.primo.exlibrisgroup.com".

• The vid = value, <institution_code:view_code>, will come from your vid= value found in your Primo VE link (see above). Some institutions will have a _V1 in their view code while others do not.

For example, UGAs will be 01GALI_UGA:UGA

While MGA will be 01GALI_MGA:MGA_V1

https://<hostname>/discovery/search?AND&pfilter=lang,exact,eng,AND&tab=<search_slot_code>&search_scope=<search_profile_code>&vid=<institution_code:view_code>&mode=advanced

Changes to make to the above code:

• The value <hostname> should be replaced with your base Primo URL (remove the < >). For example, Augusta's is "galileo-aug.primo.exlibrisgroup.com".

• <search_slot_code> will likely equal LibraryCatalog (unless you want to use a different slot found in Alma --> Discovery --> Configure Views --> Search Profile Slots)

• <search_profile_code> will equal MyInstitution

• The vid = value, <institution_code:view_code> is the same as in the previous example

https://<hostname>/discovery/citationlinker?vid=<institution_code:view_code>&lang=en

Changes to make to the above code:

• The value <hostname> should be replaced with your base Primo URL (remove the < >). For example, GSW's is "galileo-gsw.primo.exlibrisgroup.com".

• The vid = value, <institution_code:view_code> is the same as in the previous example. GSW's would be 01GALI_GSSU:GSWU_V1

https://<hostname>/discovery/search?tab=<search_slot_code>&vid=<institution_code:view_code>&lang=en

Changes to make to the above code:

• The value <hostname> should be replaced with your base Primo URL (remove the < >). For example, Gordon's is "galileo-gordonstate.primo.exlibrisgroup.com".

• <search_slot_code> will be replaced with CourseReserves

• The vid = value, <institution_code:view_code> is the same as in the previous example. Gordon's would be 01GALI_GORDON:GORDON_V1

https://<hostname>/discovery/search?tab=<search_slot_code>&search_scope=<search_profile_code>&vid=<institution_code:view_code>&sortby=rank&lang=en_US

Changes to make to the above code:

• The value <hostname> should be replaced with your base Primo URL (remove the < >). For example, Clayton's is "galileo-aug.primo.exlibrisgroup.com".

• <search_slot_code> will likely equal LibraryCatalog (unless you want to use a different slot found in Alma --> Discovery --> Configure Views --> Search Profile Slots)

• <search_profile_code> will equal DiscoveryNetwork

• The vid = value, <institution_code:view_code> is the same as in the previous example. Clayton's would be 01GALI_CLAYTON:CLAYTON_V1
