Description

Phase 4 assignment. These fields are used by CDL and campuses to pull together e-resource packages. There is a need to evaluate how effective these are and whether Alma has a better alternative, including relying on on e-resource Collection Names instead

Decision summary

The E-Resources group recommends that the use of the 930/973 in the collocation of electronic collections be determined by local Resource Management and Discovery needs at individual campuses. We also recommend the creation of Electronic Collections in Alma to replace the discovery, collocation, and management functions of the 930/973.

Recommendation

The E-Resources group recommends that the use of the 930/973 in the collocation of electronic collections be determined by local Resource Management and Discovery needs at individual campuses. We also recommend the creation of Electronic Collections in Alma to replace the discovery, collocation, and management functions of the 930/973.

Note: While our recommendation groups the 930 and 973 fields together, use of the 930 in Alma is limited to CDL, while the 973 is the equivalent field for local campuses.

...

  1. The maintenance of the 930/973 for eBook and eJournal collections for Alma users can be replaced by collocating electronic resource portfolios into electronic collections

  2. Electronic Collections records in Alma provide variable fields in which the older 930/973 can be preserved

  3. The local patron use of/interest in preserving the 930/973 for discovery on Primo VE can be determined by individual campuses

  4. Depending on the bibliographic record policy adopted for multi-part electronic collections, 930/973 can be made searchable in individual campus Primo VE indexing

  5. Alma Analytics Dashboard can be used to create views that collect electronic content for Collection Development purposes without the 930/973

  6. Most bibliographic content in the Network Zone managed by CDL are from the SFX instance and are currently discoverable without the 930/973

Background

  • Electronic Collection names already exist for CZ-linked records

  • Electronic Collections activated from SFX and/or linked to the CZ – particularly databases and ebooks – are often attached to poor quality bibliographic records

  • Electronic Collections names from CZ may differ from 930/973 package names

  • If 930/973 names differ from CZ-linked Electronic Collections names, they are not currently searchable in the Database name search in Primo VE

  • For campuses that are newly migrated to Alma and Primo VE, CZ-linked bibliographic records, portfolios, and electronic collections in Alma are created from the SFX data load and duplicate ILS bibliographic records

    • These campuses are still dependent on the 930/973 to identify and manage their existing local collections
