Distributed Access to Electronic Resources in Primo VE
In Alma, you can manage electronic resources at the campus/library level to allow discovery and delivery of electronic subscriptions that may vary between campuses/libraries. In Alma, these differences are handled by creating inventory management groups (see Configuring Inventory Management Groups) and by adding electronic profiles, which are based on the inventory groups, to the Central Discovery Index publishing profile. In Primo VE, these subscription differences are handled by defining separate CDI profiles and views for each campus/library.
-
If you manage electronic resources at the campus level, ensure each campus has at least one associated library. For more information, see Configuring Campuses.

The Search Scope MyInst_and_CI will usually search all data and bring all results regardless of affiliation.
