Link-in-Record is also known as “Direct Linking.” “First Search” is the same as searching “My institution” or the local library holdings. In Ex Libris terminology, it would be First Search vs Expanded Search (include records from other libraries in search results).

Databases in Alma that are activated for the CDI records and do not have any portfolios, will not appear in the local holdings in Primo.  Only those resources that have portfolios will appear in the local scope in VE. Examples: ERIC, Dissertations, Web of Science database.
