Discussion items

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.

4	Check-In: Feedback from your local implementation group for the Discovery Network Scope and Consortia Union View Summary	Address any clarifications coming from local discussions Check on timeline	20 min	All	Issues under discussion Branding & marketing Confusion - don’t want duplication. Don’t need a stand alone so why have. Couldn’t see the point of having a union view SCOPES Default scopes is what groups zoomed in on San Jose Model is liked by an expert staff member want default scope to be IZ Makes sense to focus on what users can get immediately systemwide scopes - example law school specific Q: Ability to bring worldcat view in to primo? (example? Boston created a worldcat search profile in their Primo system) Initial suspicion it would require a specific configuration ILL functionality want to get to worldcat easily to search for items no UC owns limit by availability matters a lot CARLI - mandate to provide services to the whole state. Perhaps see union view as part of their mandate? Complex organization. Creative Tools available Perhaps one consortial view with all bells and whistles turned on. Like a sandbox with a salad bar of all the tools that exist Technical debt - if there is a union view, who is tasked with maintaining it		Jess Waggoner consult with EXL re: Will staff miss anything by not having a union view? Will there be a benefit for bots, SEO, text mining? Jess Waggoner share the link to the library that brought worldcat view in to Primo
