Item | Desired Outcome | Notes | Decisions / Discussion | Actions | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Sharing and Updates | Share any Discovery related information from other SILS groups |
| FRBR call it decided. Added consortia and known-issue labels. | |
2 | UX Subgroup updates | N/A | Berkley is doing an inclusive UX focus group study in the future to identify pain points to guide future usability for us. Working on an IRB and securing funding. | ||
3 | Database Search | Review and fill out decision page | “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.”
| la: sounds useful. People are typing database names into primo and expecting to get links to the jstor database. UCSC agrees: Typing ARTSTOR should bring up a record with a link out, and users think we cancelled the sub because the record doesn’t show or link out. Worse than nothing: They get a record, but there’s no link. |

4 | 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. | context: cdl works with ht did env. scan of uc lib search on how ht surfaces. notices variations between campuses, not surprising because no harmonization. Discuss risks/benefits to harmonization. If it’s not feasible for disc to take it on at this time, we can talk about that. See if there’s anything that makes sense to harmonize or not. SC is using CDI collection. Why is there a dif between CDI and API? API has links to public domain materials that don’t come through CDI. UCB used the API because the CDI didn’t surface stuff, but the API did. API is a better user experience that inserts a link into the record. BUT it is more maintenance, and it makes the Available Online facet inaccurate. UCB, UCLA, SCSB are using it. The API requires a record, so some stuff is in HT that doesn’t have a record to tack that link onto. Most coverage needs both the CDI and the API. The API slows things down. API exposes the link nicely in the brief results, and if anything has no links in the record, the api |

5 | Exclude records from Discovery Network | The indexes need to be set up in NZ also. Waiting on… | |||

7 | Review Workplan | Postponed | |||
