Announcements
Primo and RedHat/RH7 Support
Previously, we announced the end of RedHat 7 support in Primo Classic, and we would no longer support it in the February 2025 release of Primo Classic. This deadline has been extended through the February release, but the May 2025 release of Primo Classic will fail without an upgrade to RedHat 8.

Facet Resource Type (Primo Home > Advanced Configuration > All Code Tables)

Display Constants (Primo Home > Advanced Configuration > All Code Tables)
|
-

-
default.attribute.online_first_tooltip / An "Online first" article is a very recent publication that has been accepted by the publisher but is not yet assigned to a specific journal issue.

CDI-Related Updates
This section lists the fixes and enhancements associated with CDI by their release date to ensure that Primo/VE customers are aware of the availability of these updates during and between releases of Primo/VE. When available, CDI updates are released on the first Wednesday of the month.
Unless otherwise specified, these updates apply to both Primo and Primo VE environments.
2025 Updates
April 2, 2025
- Improved identification of book reviews for CDI records, previously classified as articles. This fix includes the following:
-
Additional criteria were added to identify book reviews based on information in the title or abstract field. Some examples of such criteria are:
-
CDI resource type is article, and the Title contains the phrase book review.
-
CDI resource type is article, and the Title contains an ISBN followed by at least one digit.
-
CDI resource type is article, and the abstract starts with the phrase Book reviewed in this article.
-
For merged records, the rule for selecting the resource type for logical records was changed for cases where participants from different providers had different resource types. Previously, the resource type found in most of the participants determined the resource type. This is no longer the case for book reviews by giving preference to the resource type instead of simply identifying it as an article.
March 5, 2025
- CDI-30397 SF: 07831344
The genre mapping for the score resource type was changed from unknown to document to prevent problems with OpenURL linking.
- CDI-30075 SF: 05333261
Book editor data was incorrectly formatted in citations. Book editors are now listed in a dedicated field to ensure that editor names are correctly presented in citations.
- New date formats (including MM and DD) are now supported with the cdate range filter.
- New logic was added to ensure that a single secondary resource type, either "retraction note" or "retracted publication," is selected when both types are present.
- CDI-28678 SF: 07155386
Internal CDI fields that Primo does not reference were removed from the PNX.
- CDI-28472 SF: 06929716
In some cases, CDI records with the resource type Book Review also returned the secondary attribute Review Article. This has been fixed so that records of type Review Article are not returned as the secondary attribute for Book Review.
- CDI-25467 SF: 07221960, 07101700, 06924867, 06608446, 06590326, 06579412
Some Reference type records from Gale were incorrectly merged with similar Gale Reference titles causing linking and availability issues. This has been fixed.
- CDI-21744 SF: 05324244, 07056359
In some cases, the << sign was removed from records with it in documentTitle. This has been fixed.
February 5, 2025
- CDI-29556 SF: 06247514, 06256831, 06845693
Hyphenated terms (e.g., cell-dependent) and terms ending in an apostrophe (e.g., employees) were not highlighted correctly. This has been fixed.
- CDI-29868 SF: 05301799, 07261804, 07498035
In some cases, editor names were duplicated on Primo search results. This has been fixed by selecting a single instance of each editor name from the participant records within the library’s activations.
- CDI-28303 SF: 07077133, 07133180, 07692626, 07705917, 07804237
