Question

Why does an electronic resource display as a physical resource in Primo?

Answer

When electronic resources owned by specific institutions are published to the Network Zone the resource won't have an inventory in the Network Zone. When the resource is then published to Primo, the PNX (Primo Normalized XML) will show the resource as a physical resource (indicated by Alma-P) for the Network Zone but will show the resource as electronic (indicated by Alma-E) for the institutions that own the resource.

This won't affect searching in Primo.
