Make concrete recommendations for improved DEIJA discovery experience | Long-term | October 2023 | Would we need to bring in others who are more of the experts in front-end discovery systems? | ||||
Identify which groups are responsible for changes at local, national and/or international levels (e.g., local-level, SILS Operations Team, Operations Subteams, Leadership Group) | Midterm | July 2023 | This could be interesting given that we largely work in OCLC, so local decisions can potentially have national/international impact | ||||
