DISCOVERY 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.

  • Probably a very local decision as ILL policies around this might vary

  • Idea sharing - anyone doing this currently? What are you doing? Is it working well?

Many are using the comments section of ILL form to address this issue, depending if their ILL will even perform this request. Some point to blank ILL request form. 

Issues & feedback from users

Discussion of monitoring of online reference questions about UC Library Search. UCR is monitoring and the questions are tailing off. Some campuses are tagging online questions as being about UC Library Search.
