When our Primo search is expanded beyond our holdings, users may see Journal records for which we have no subscription/holdings, and these records have no indication that the title may be a problematic journal - since they have no stack of availability links.


Articles in these journals from the central discovery index (CDI) do show the availability stack, which is great, but the journal records don't do that with the current Add-On.


This is expected since it targets the availability stack. It would be a nice extra if the journal's record could also show an indication.


Screencast : shows that the articles in CDI have the indication, but when user goes to the journal record there is no indication.


Use case: Researchers could be directed to Library Search to look up journals not held at the library to check for notices of concerns.

Hi Peta - Journal records enhancements for Problematic Publishers is not technically available in the add-on, but we have heard similar feedback for others so it is under development right now!  I will update this when we push the update (you will not have to do anything on your end for it to take effect).  Thanks for the interest!
