Umlaut services to provide full text service responses, holdings, etc. from the Primo discovery solution.

Installation

In order to use the Umlaut Primo service, first install Umlaut. Then, in your Gemfile, add in the umlaut-primo gem, gem 'umlaut-primo', '~> 0.1.0'. Run bundle intall to get the Gem and then start your application as you normally would.

Service Configuration

To use the Umlaut Primo services, they must be configured in config/umlaut_service.yml. Two services are available for use, PrimoService and PrimoSource.

PrimoService

The PrimoService is the basic Primo service for getting service data from Primo.

Several configurations parameters are available to be set in config/umlaut_services.yml. A sample configuration is below.

 Primo: # Name of your choice
   type: PrimoService # Required
   priority: 2 # Required. I suggest running after the SFX service so you get the SFX referent enhancements
   base_url: http://primo.library.edu # Required
   vid: VID # Required
   institution: INST # Required
   holding_search_institution: SEARCH_INST # Optional. Defaults to the institution above.
   holding_search_text: Search for this title in Primo. # Optional text for holding search.  Defaults to "Search for this title."
   suppress_holdings: [ !ruby/regexp '/\$\$LWEB/', !ruby/regexp '/\$\$1Restricted Internet Resources/' ] # Optional
   ez_proxy: !ruby/regexp '/https\:\/\/ezproxy\.library\.edu\/login\?url=/' # Optional
   service_types: # Optional. Defaults to [ "fulltext", "holding", "holding_search", "table_of_contents", "referent_enhance" ]
     - holding
     - holding_search
     - fulltext
     - table_of_contents
     - referent_enhance
     - highlighted_link

PrimoSource

The PrimoSource service depends on PrimoService and is used to expand Primo holdings based on information from the data source.

Fi8rst, PrimoService must be configured with the primo_source service type instead of holding.

Primo: # Name of your choice
  ...
  service_types:
    - primo_source
    - holding_search
    ...

Then you can configure the PrimoSource service in config/umlaut_services.yml

PrimoSource: # Name of your choice
  type: PrimoSource # Required
  priority: 3 # Required. Must be run after PrimoService
  base_url: http://primo.library.edu # Required
  vid: VID # Required
  institution: INST # Required
  source_attributes: # Optional.
    - request_link_supports_ajax_call
    - requestability

Primo Configuration

Primo offers several configuration options, specified in the Primo Back Office. Since Umlaut doesn't have access to the Primo back office, the configurations need to be set in a separate file. Umlaut Primo leverages the exlibris-primo gem which can set this configuration via a YAML file. Umlaut Primo expects this YAML file to be in config/primo.yml, but you can tell the PrimoService where the YAML file is with the primo_config parameter.

A sample YAML config file would look like this:

institutions:
  "primo_institution_code": "Primo Institution String"
libraries:
  "primo_library_code": "Primo Library String"
availability_statuses:
  "status1_code": "Status One"
sources:
  data_source1:
    base_url: "http://source1.base.url
    type: source_type
    class_name: Source1Implementation (in exlibris/primo/sources or exlibris/primo/sources/local)
    source1_config_option1: source1_config_option1
      source1_config_option2: source1_config_option2
  data_source2:
    base_url: "http://source2.base.url
    type: source_type
    class_name: Source2Implementation (in exlibris/primo/sources or exlibris/primo/sources/local)
    source2_config_option1: source2_config_option1
    source2_config_option2: source2_config_option2
