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.

Help Links in Primo VE

 Notes: Help links in Primo

  • See above document

  • How is this at current Primo campuses?

    • UCSB: added in many/all the places; had multiple librarians checking form emails; A LOT of traffic at first

    • UCR has this embedded in links, report a problem; links to external form (not sure about use, esp. now since Ask Us is also embedded- all traffic goes through Ask Us)

    • Sarah comment- do patrons want to email and wait or chat and get help immediately?

    • UCI- “too many” places to get help (can be confusing); received tons of email questions; did level off; now directed to chat widget

      • where it goes and what to call it?

      • ways to systematically handle feedback?

  • UCD- links to a ticketing system, checked by about 6 people; some links to a generic help site

    • Distinction between report a problem and help links? No- generalized help

    • Sometimes (rarely) receive reference questions vs. access questions/help

  • UCSC

    • do not differentiate between “kinds” of help

    • only help point goes to chat (when available) or email (when chat unavailable)

    • Initially had separate Primo queue but now just have Alma queue for internal users

  • VPN authentication should not determine what help options are available

  • Databases typically (not true for all) will link out to top level, local help pages; also use help link in UC eLinks menu

    • need to address location as well

    • local configurations will determine if an intermediary page displays

  • Group managing Ask Us service may be responsible for harmonizing branding

  • Avoid providing too many options

  • Prefer to have standardized/ harmonized language

    • know what help links are called, and where it/they will live

Josephine Tan (Unlicensed) seek out FAQs and scan of language currently being used
