IGeLU 2024

Conference

This presention covers the importation and customisation of two seperate collections we have added to our instance of Primo VE. The University of Exeter is home to one of the largest collections of material relating to the moving image in the United Kingdom, the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum. The museum has its own website and catalogue but we wanted to incorporate it into Primo VE to increase visibility of the collection. The holdings were recieved in JSON and were converted to XML. In the presentation we will cover each of the steps and improvements we have made following the first importation. The presentation would also cover the incorporation of our Archives and Special Collections using normalisation rules and creating a variety of local display fields to improve the display in Primo VE, we also created new facets to help with improving discoverability of the various collections held. We think the innovative approach may help with discoverabilty of these resources in the future.
