[Discovery_PVE_Comm] Secondary resource type: Government Documents

[Gibson, Jessica]

Hi, all,
The job has completed in the NZ to implement the Government Documents Secondary Resource Type.  You can see this in action in your “local catalog” searches and “All I-Share Libraries” searches in Primo VE for bib records that are linked to the NZ.

Replication steps:

  1.  Perform a search in your local catalog or All I-Share libraries search slot for something that is likely to retrieve government documents and likely linked to the NZ.  For example, Department of Education, or, annual report.
  2.  Under the Resource Type filter, you will find “Government Documents” listed if any of the results meet the configuration requirements (that is: LDR/06=aefgkmort and 008/28=acfilmosz) that you can filter with.

For example:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://i-share-network.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?query=any,contains,department*20of*20education&tab=DiscoveryNetworkNoVisionCite&search_scope=DiscoveryNetworkNoVisionCite&vid=01CARLI_NETWORK:IShare_UNION&offset=0__;JSU!!DZ3fjg!9mLL9hLfjio6Rjf12DsAX7TGEYQuIK76CnM_eMp5TgWCIsKz2zgYIk-ECDgAP0lDg_JwPIH1Qx8FD9KU7GUm_UJTY_wHhztpruM$ 

Government Documents will not display as a resource type like the primary Resource Types (Book, Journal, Model, etc.) with a gray word over the top of the brief record result. It is a secondary resource type, so it is available to use in facets and pre-filters.

CARLI staff will work on implementing this Secondary Resource Type for Government Documents in all IZs and write up a documentation page about it. The new type will take effect immediately for all newly added bib records that meet the criteria listed above. Existing records that are local to the IZ and not linked to the NZ will need to be reindexed to have the new configuration apply to them after the configuration has been implemented in the IZ. That can be done manually by identifying the records in a Set in the IZ and running the Recalculate Local Resource Types Job on that Set, or everything will be reindexed by the next semi-annual Primo VE index which Ex Libris will run in December-January to be completed by the Feb. 2025 software release.

Please let me know any questions or issues.
thanks,
-Jessica
