Abstract
ELUNA 2026 Presentation.
Molloy University went live with Alma/Primo VE in June 2021. During that time, the option to create a discovery import profile for our institutional repository, Digital Commons, was presented. The initial setup, including the Dublin Core Type to Discovery Type Mapping table, was completed by ExLibris. While this setup was technically functional it never performed to expectations and many issues appeared over the years which directly impacted user experience. Additionally, as the content in the institutional repository changed, the limitations of utilizing one discovery import profile became obvious. This presentation will cover the academic year 2024-2025 and summer 2025, showing several issues, their solutions - usually in the form of a normalization rule, and other changes that were made to enhance the discoverability of specific collections and provide a better user experience.
Learning Outcome #1: Identify the source of discovery import profile issues for records displayed in Primo VE. Learning Outcome #2 Revise Normalization Rules for External Data Sources and Reload the Discovery Import Profile Job
