Change Labels in Primo Brief and Full Views

Reason behind the change request

Primo Usability subtask force completed 2 studies looking at the labels used to describe key things.  The questions were asked on these topics due to previous usability interactions showing that things were not clear or comments from librarians and staff that they should be examined.  The full results and process can be found on this thread: 

  • Study 1 indicated that Reference Entry should be re-labeled. Ask about appropriate label.
    • Reference Entry/Encyclopedia
  • Study 2 looks at facets, so look at what we might want to ask from that
    • Tweak my results
    • Labels too long (Available at...)
  • Expand My Results
  • Get It/View It (FC) and Find in Print/View Online (Pueblo)
  • Dissertation?
    • Dissertation/Graduate work
  • Scope names
  • Availability terminology (Available in libraries)
