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.
Item | Desired Outcome | Time | Who | Notes | Decisions | Actions | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Updates from other SILS groups | Share relevant items | 10 min | Josephine Sarah | PPC approved our Primo VE Search Profile Configuration decision page on 2/19. SILS Town Hall had lively discussion:
Q: Will this be a joint decision within UCs or is it already decided? A: We believe it is already decided. EasyAccess is it

| 2 | Help Links in Primo VE | Collect information from already-Alma campuses | 10 min | All |
| Conduct a short environmental scan of already-Alma campuses to capture screenshots of:
* Place information in this document | Already-Alma’s: @Former user (Deleted)@Ellen Augustiniak capture how and where your campus currently places Help links for Primo VE*. |
| 3 | UC-eLinks | Collecting Analytics | 20 min | All | Definition of Analytics reports Specifically:
and
What current UC-eLinks (incidental) data do campuses have to share? Is there an (PDF-like) icon that can be placed next to (for example: “Get It @ UC”)
Q: What is the difference between use of locally managed resources (do all campuses have access to the data?) and CDL (Allison) managed resources?
Q: How much time does it take for analytics staff to pull these reports?
Q: Is there an annual singular report that merges SFX use data local and Q: Why are we after this data? What actions can come from it? A: Determine the impact of our recommendation to rename UC-Elinks Q: How about something as simple as, “Get it” or “Get it at UC” with a pdf icon. This phrase and icon may be in competition with direct links to publisher in some cases. UCM feedback from some colleagues: “Get it” is aggressive. Suggest “Find it” Discussion about LibKey. UCR has it and likes it. Perhaps a systemwide license for LibKey can be investigated. We believe there is a consortial agreement for LibKey for some of the campuses. Jess Waggoner did usability studies and links to LibKey tested very well. Q: Do all campuses have UC-elinks integrated into Google Scholar. A: Yes
| UC-eLinks analytics to collect:
Date ranges:
| Ask Allison (CDL) to pull SFX reports for all campus
Campuses that have access to local use SFX data can supply reports with the local data (Josephine and Michael have analytics people to do the local report)
@Heather Smedberg (Unlicensed) investigate who on her campus can pull local sfx use reports @Sharon Shafer (Unlicensed) investigate who on her campus can pull local sfx use reports
@Sarah Houghton Explore pursuit of a UC wide consortial license to LibKey / Browzine for ultimate UX harmonization

| 4 | Configuration Recommendations Workbook | Decide which recommendations are ready for sign off | 30 min | All | Configuration Recommendations Workbook Tasks to decide for today’s mtg:
Question about distinction between resource type and material type in Primo VE configuration. Discussion about “recommendation” vs. “advice” vs. “best practices” vs. “lessons learned”. Discussion about testing search profile slots in different ways on different campuses during the test phase.
| @Jess Waggoner outlined: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ck_DM8OdWl92X8Pi4aYiLNCzvfW_XuhthVdQ5myiEH8/edit
| All: Everyone without an API key for Worldcat should get the key so it can be tried out in a test ASAP
All: Investigate difference between resource type and material type config as it behaves in Primo VE interface
@Jess Waggoner will start a document about “best practices”/ “lessons learned” / “advice” document to hold these concepts @Jess Waggoner draft a decision page to document which MARC fields are searched and which MARC fields are available as facets |
| 5 | Testing Plan | What can we provide as an answer | 20 min |
