AFN Consortia block decision page, Database Search failures, Hathi Trust ranking

Database Search

“The Database Search page enables users to search specifically for local databases or electronic collections that are associated with a descriptive (bibliographic) record that is not suppressed and has a valid collection-level URL that has been configured for linking to the database or collection in the Level URL field. In addition, it provides auto-complete suggestions and the ability to browse for databases based on category.”

  • Does this, as written, sound useful?

  • What do we consider a database?

    • Do we consider JSTOR Arts and Sciences a database?

  • Are the records we expect to show up, that aren’t showing up, suppressed in Alma?

Hathi Trust

AFN Consortial Block Decision Page

https://uc-sils.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FUL/pages/2041217066/UC+AFN+Consortia+Blocks

“As stakeholders in this decision, we are seeking your input (and any of your local library/campus staff you deem appropriate) in this proposal”

Discovery endorses this position

An existing issue is that users with blocks see a page that simply says the page isn’t available for their user group. We’ll want to review that language and find something more informative. If they are blocked because of a user group, it should say so. If they are blocked because of a billion fines, it should say that.

  •  Respond to the team that “Discovery endorses this position.”

Hathi Trust

OT felt questions and next steps related to this report would best be handled by the Discovery Operations SubTeam.

We empower Discovery to review and decide the priority and feasibility of this work and if appropriate, decide that work related to this report is not feasible at this time.

Exclude records from Discovery Network

pending NZ Updateticket with ExL about how the boosting interacts. They may not know that this is a problem that we’re struggling with.

We don’t think the problem (Records from Hathi Trust missing in CDI) is the problem. We think that the CDI records are simply ranking lower than UC held items.

  •  We’ll go through the original report and replicate their testing and document differences (since NZ activated Hathitrust worldwide since this report was created)
  •  We’ll submit an ExL ticket for more documentation re: ranking configuration and how it interacts with other ranking configurations.
  •  Ask UX subteam to look into creating a “button” for cdi records that have a link to hathitrust on the brief record results.
