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.

RMFG: OA Icon
Some campuses display when at least 1 link points to an OA version
Other campuses display only when all links point to an OA version
Discovery thoughts? Due 3/29
PPC approved 2 decisions:
NZ Access: Access into the Network Zone (NZ) Alma instance will be determined on a case by case basis
Local bib data: Any data in the 5XX-7XX range that is local (that is not part of the OCLC master record) needs to be moved to a protected local field. In addition, Ex Libris recommends that institution-specific data be moved out of fields 900-949 and that only consortial data stay in those fields for the Network Zone. All campus-specific data in these fields needs to be relocated or deleted.
Discussion: Easy Active vs Fully Flexible
Will confirm with ExLibris that we truly have a choice
Which option does Discovery believe will provide the best user experience?
Jess will present about the discovery implications of the two options at the SILS Chairs mtg tomorrow (3/24)
OA Icon: Move discussion to Slack - decide whether OA icon should display only if all links are OA or if only one link is OA. Jess Waggoner will clarify with RMFG whether they mean UC campuses when they say “some campuses”.

CDI: Easy Active vs Fully Flexible
Provide Discovery FG perspective for Wednesday All Chairs meeting
20 min
Ellen & Jared (CDI Sub-group)
Questions to consider: in EasyActive, work that we’re saving electronic resources staff from may be pushed out to reference/instruction staff (who may sometimes be students themselves) who have to help people with getting access to things they find
Need some context for the 4 billion Central Index records - how many of the 4 billion records could potentially be clutter (patents, etc.)?
Does not appear that CDI is returning expected number of records for results if EasyActive is on
Jess Waggoner will check with ER/ACQ team why CDI results are not displaying as expected in Test if EasyActive is on.
Consider whether boosting is an MVP issue; some campuses agree this can be defaulted to the SUNY Buffalo recommendation for Production and tweaked after. This may also be affected by FRBR decision.
