Creating New Resource Types to Improve Discoverability

Abstract

For several years our institution utilized only a limited number of Primo resource types, with most of these being the "out-of-the-box" default types. To improve discoverability and user experience we recently added a significant number of new resource types for both Aleph items as well as our Digital Collections items. This work has been well received by users. The presentation will examine before and after snapshots of that work, explain the normalization rules defining these new additions, and review the process we followed for implementation.
