How does Primo Personalization work?
Answer
You can toggle "Personalize Your Results" on and off in your Discovery View Configuration area:
Allowing your patrons to personalize their results will not change the results that show up, but it will reorder them. The way it works is that the same number of results is returned, the search is not filtered, but instead reranked based on degree/discipline. This is done by a list of ISSNs/journal titles (CONSER database) which are assigned to certain disciplines.
The ranking only applies to CDI records and can be impacted by missing metadata, such as when a journal hasn't been assigned a discipline.
