Deduplication / FRBR

Primo uses Deduplication and FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) processes to combine or group redundant records in the brief search results. 

Dedup and FRBR settings are configured per view under Alma Configuration > Discovery > Display Configuration > Configure Views > Edit the View > Brief Results tab

More information can be found in the following Primo Knowledgebase pages :

 

Prevent FRBR and/or Dedup in Discovery

Alma gives you the ability to prevent dedup/FRBR on specific records. This can be done in one of two ways : create a rule, or run a job on a set of records (the Prevent FRBR and/or Dedup in Discovery job). More information can be found in the following Primo Knowledgebase pages :

For both workflows, dedup/ FRBR suppression completed in the IZ are applied to local records only. If local records are linked in the NZ, they cannot be suppressed in the NZ unless you also create the same suppression rules in the NZ.

If there are specific NZ records for which you need Dedup or FRBR suppressed, please send an email to servicedesk@wrlc.org

In the WRLC NZ, we have two Suppress Dedup/FRBR Rules configured for the NZ-linked records in our shared catalog:

  • Uniform title Bible
    • IF Uniform Title (field 130 in the MARC record) contains "Bible", then suppress Dedup and FRBR 
  • Journal of applied behavior analysis
    • IF Title contains "Journal of applied behavior analysis", then suppress Dedup
    • This was configured for Salesforce case #00833444 with George Mason University
