Sharing and Updates

5

Share any Discovery related information from other SILS groups

OT/LG:

• One big topic is the gender recognition and lived name compliance for Alma.

• Reviewing OT beeves (system admin, etc)

• Landscape of ongoing SILS townhalls (LG will be doing a governance and OT will be doing mid-year state of the year townhall)

All-Chairs:

• Round robin with chairs giving report for each team - how is morale, admin issues, etc

• Reported this group seems to work well together.

RM: Do you feel it would be useful Discovery reps to have an NZ Alma account?

• User counts (We have an existing report that can be sent out for this.)

Accessibility concerns: Talking to CDL usability at the moment, will likely meet soon to figure out next steps.

Slack/General Questions

Local resource type for Video Games: Any objections to adding this to production?

Will move the video game resource type to production.

Quick Topics

10

Propose new segment for Discovery meetings for quicker topics

Proposal:

• General survey questions such as how you handle brief result availability label

• Topic determined ahead of time so people can talk to staff at their campuses if needed

• Limit to 10 minutes. If it turns out to be a longer discussion, we can put it in our workplan

• Create a Topics category on Confluence and a page per topic to document our discussion (easier to find later than if it’s in notes)

  • Question: What would the maintenance be?

    • We can make it very clear on the page that it is a snapshot in time.

Next time we’ll talk about

• talk about brief result availability label (calculated availability).

Exclude eBooks from CDI Results

25

Start discussion on topic and determine next steps.

• For this setting, what does Ex Libris consider an eBook? Is it actually an ebook or anything that’s a monograph? (Per Ex Libris ticket 06904256, “Primo VE uses the CDI record’s metadata (rtype) to set the resource type”)

  • What makes this up?

  • Answer is a little vague, we may need to test this specifically.

  • Jesse found ExL documentation about CDI resource types and noted, “You can find the rtype of a record using &showPnx=true at the end of the url or the little showpnx bookmarklet thing.”

• Review which campuses are still hearing issues around duplication (Gem

• was suppose to have asked this question in Slack ahead of time and forgot)

  • UCSC - usability testing was pre-sils and there were more duplicates than post-live. Faculty in particularly didn’t like it. Now, not sure how frequently they’re seeing duplicates but know it’s still happening.

  • UCD - was initially getting a lot of tickets but fewer now but can’t say for sure why

  • Are we getting fewer tickets just because people are tired of reporting them.

• Current status: does everyone have this turned off?

  • UCI does have this on right now.

  • UCR also has this on but only for the UC Riverside search scope (not their default scope)

• Who are our Stakeholders?

  • Discovery

  • CDL Shared Collections (including SCP)

  • e-

• • Resources

  • Are ETD considered ebooks? (If so, Resource Management due to this policy)

• • - RM will definitely want to know what we decide

  • OT at least be informed

  • Resource Sharing (because of ILL implications)

• Is everything in this document still accurate? Exclude eBooks from CDI Results decision page from previous discussions

• .

Next Steps
