DISCOVERY FG OBJECTIVE: Develop and implement the best possible user-centered discovery and delivery experience for users across the UC libraries.
VISION: We strive to design and implement the best possible discovery and delivery experience for our end users using data-driven decision making. We envision a network zone experience that will allow users to discover library materials across UC collections without sacrificing relevant results. As such, the default search and results interface should prioritize the success of typical users while providing additional functionality for more advanced users.

| 3 | Union catalog discussion | Decide how we would like discovery to search and display | 40 min | All | From email with Sarah (5/4/20): In the Public Services Escalation Leaders SILS group today, we tried to have a discussion about a sample issue we thought may get forwarded to us. In the course of that discussion, it was clear to me that there is not consensus about what a union catalog is…what we’re trying to do with the network zone of the SILS. And I think that discussion is probably best had by the Discovery group at some point. Are we truly using this as a union catalog—to display all items, physical and digital, that the end user could get a hold of some way? Or are we only showing them content they can get access to instantly? Or only UC Libraries’ holdings? What about open access content? (The discussion is more nuanced than that but you get the gist). Could we add this to a future Discovery group agenda? I’d like us to talk this through and see if we can come to an agreement on a definition. I think that will help with our group’s discussion, and those of other groups, about what’s being included in the catalog and why. From Slack with Christine Barone (6/12): Whether Primo should default to each local campus catalog vs. the union catalog? From Slack with Xiaoli Li & Caitlyn Nelson of PPC (6/15): Since during the Vanguard phase, we will have a union Primo and campus Primo, I think it would be useful for your group to develop some test scenarios. For example, what can be done at union level but not at campus level and vice versa. What kind of hypotheses do you want to put out and how do you want to test them? I think something like creating scenarios for a union primo versus an institution primo would be really useful. From Liz Miraglia (UCSD) (6/16) - Resource Management FG chair: I know your group is talking more and more about what exactly the NZ Primo is going to look like and what our Union Catalog might be and that ExLibris also recommends reserving a certain number of fields for consortial use. My group has had that in mind as we start moving 9XX data around but with the old deadlines we honestly didn’t think we’d have time to address that since it’s been difficult to even figure out where campuses could put their data that would just keep it safe, let alone provide shared searching. Now that we have some more time, I would love to get input on what your group might want to see in a shared view. If there are any facets or aspects of records that your group thinks would be useful to test out in the NZ Primo | ||
