Abstract

In 2018, Imperial College London went through a major redevelopment to improve climate control on three floors. We had to make 36,000 books temporarily unavailable, and then return them as soon as the newly refurbished floors opened. Primo new UI only allows items to be displayed as either available or checked out. Due to these constraints, we worked on a series of different workarounds. However, at the time we could not make the scan it in API work in a suitable manner, so we re-engineered an offline configuration dat file instead. Although this helped us successfully complete this time sensitive project. It has created more work for us in creating weeding reports, SCONUL stats and triggering holds. Since this project, we have driven change by requesting the development of a third Primo availability status and refined the Scan it in API. Having gone through this experience, we want to share our knowledge, so that others can gain some value from our successes and mistakes.
