& everyone

Find the collections harvested from Calisphere here. Track issues here.

Normalization has been a huge challenge. Resource type is not mapping correctly; Lisa and Gabriela are following up with ExL.

We’d like to know from ExL: what drives FRBRization? What metadata is being used? (Ex: Day of the Dead '78 Celebration with Zoot Suit Group from Self-Help Graphics collection at UCSB)

Also how does ExL choose which thumbnail will display? What happens if Calisphere is not providing a thumbnail (as in the case of audio recordings)

We’d also like more information about where the decision to FRBR-ize is made (will that be at resource-type level, at campus level, is there a SILS-wide decision?)

Another example is the “Please come and play in my yard” audio recording from UCSB’s Cylinder Audio Archives

We will keep adding issues to the Calisphere harvest issues list. Some of these issues may also overlap with Discovery FG’s testing and we will share those with Discovery.

Outreach from Discovery Functional Group on Usability Testing in Vanguard

• Revisiting our Testing Document

• Depending on the status of the CDL Calisphere harvest, perhaps we can flesh out testing scenarios for the Discovery FG Digital Collections Usability Task List.

Digital Collections: Usability Task List

For the duration of the month of November, the Discovery FG will turn our focus to some initial user experience testing of the Primo VE Vanguard, with a subgroup specifically focused on digital collections. As we know your group of Digital Collections FG also has a deep interest in how digital collections records and services display, we are reaching out to learn how you might like to be involved in this work. 

You can review the outline of our process and the scope of our work here. We’ve also included additional useful documentation below.

How involved do you see your group getting in this work? 

• Do you have topics you would like to make sure are usability tested?

• Do you have any scripts you would like to share?

• Do you see yourselves, or a subgroup of yourselves, conducting any of this testing directly alongside our subgroup?

• Would our attendance at one of your meetings help with planning and idea generation?

If you have topics or scripts to share, or any other ideas, we would appreciate having these before November 6 at the latest. 

Useful documentation:

• Discovery UX Evaluation Sub-Groups & Process

• Vanguard Usability Testing sub-folder

   in the Discovery FG’s Google Drive' space where our groups can put any docs/sheets that you create for this work.

• The Discovery FG’s Usability Testing page - https://uc-sils.atlassian.net/l/c/8wd99iug. This page has access to user personas and tips for test scripts, as well as a very useful reading list of UX Assessment Literature that our colleagues at the CSUs compiled during their project.

Links to UCLA harvested collections via OAI-PMH:

• Los Angeles Daily News

• AIDS Posters

@Claudia Horning (Unlicensed) will make sure that Discovery FG has the link to our Calisphere issues list
