When is a Government Document not a Government Document? Making sense of local resource types in Primo VE

Session Abstract

For institutions that hold print Government Documents, the presence of the CDI Government Documents resource type can make for an unintuitive user experience: when a user selects that resource type in a blended search, they are excluding all of the local physical government documents. Come hear how the University of Toronto is surfacing our print government documents collections, why we are not using the MARC leader information to do so, and how solving this problem informed our approach to assigning local resource types.
