Background for discussion

Lena and Christine shortened the CDI decision page by removing the information they had on the Discovery expand search box.

PSELG has been asked to pursue Questions 3 and 4. Question 2 has been answered (see CDI decision page).

 Questions from CDI decision page:

1. Do we have a choice of which CDI model to use (FullyFlexible or EasyActive)?

2. Will EasyActive settings be saved from Test Load to Go-Live? (i.e., if we turn off CDI collections in Test, will that “stick” through Go-Live)

   1. Is there a difference for the already-Alma campuses?

   2. How much work will need to be done right after go-live?

3. What are the concerns of each campus?
   See: Discovery FG: CDI Findings

4. What has the experience been of other consortia (CARLI, SUNY, CSU, etc.). EasyActive is a recent development so there may not be many consortia to talk with about it. Note: DFG asked on the Primo list but only heard from one consortia in Australia. They were happy with EasyActive CDI. PMs asked on the ACAG listserv and only heard back from CSU. They are using the FullyFlexible model for local reasons and have found it tricky. Their advice is to watch the latest webinars on CDI.

   1. Which CDI method are they using (EasyActive or FullyFlexible)?

   2. Why?

   3. How is it working?

   4. What advice would they give us?

Note1: The PMs started a sheet with one response from a consortium about CDI, Jessica from CSU. It’s in the PPC “CDI testing” folder. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DRwdlXSTd8I_IGox4fj4DwbKjcxqUFsB3h8FRIN80VY/edit#gid=0

Note2: Question 3 needs to be answered and shared back with Ex Libris in a Sales Force ticket. They want to know what our concerns are with EasyActive.

What questions do we want to ask our campuses re: EasyActive vs. FullyFlexible?

• How much time does it take to manage turning things on in FullyFlexible?

• What kind of knowledge and familiarity is necessary to be efficient using FullyFlexible?

• With EasyActive, does ExLibris automatically go in and turn on alternative access in CDI (to get the indexing for EBSCO databases like Academic Search Complete)? What happens to dbs that need to be turned on to make sure the article metadata appears in results?

CDI case study:

• Implementation strategy

• Pros/Cons

• Lessons learned

Standing item: As campuses start deeper discussions about SILS, can/should questions come to PSELG as information-sharing.

Support learning & transparency. These discussions will help inform members of PSELG re: decisions made by the functional groups.
