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.

Browzine/LibKey

Discuss systemwide subscription quote

15 min

Sarah

  • Holly E. is CDL point for Browzine and is working with vendor moving forward.

  • No centralized funding; would be a campus-by-campus decision; substantial savings if all 10 campuses participate.

  • If all campuses participate would Browzine?LibKey become Tier 1? Maybe not since Browzine/LibKey is a tool and not content.

  • Should Browzine/LibKey be a recommendation to assist other campuses who do not have it yet?

  • Provide information and usability data from UCSC (Jess)

  • Is there more testing beyond Functionality testing such as Configuration testing; Ask ExLibris and discuss with other campuses;

  • Who will be using the list of MARC fields recommendations and a need for harmonization? Which fields are indexed and/or faceted? e.g, “publisher” is not a defult indexed search field and not a default faceted field

  • Sharon mentioned adding the following for her and Lisa’s list of MARC fields:
    - Enable field for search
    - Enable field for facet
    - Use Translations
    - Use the parallel Local Field 01/50 from the Dublin Core record
    - Use full test links for indexing

  • Make decision on naming UC-eLinks as soon as possible since there are so many places it would need to be updated.

  • We all have different roles; some more than others. Beginning Your Research Journey

  • Make recommendations regarding renaming UC-eLinks asap.

  • Develop list of extra recommendations

  • WorldCat to be added to Week 4 (3/22-3/26) - 3 different options to be tested at 3 groups of campuses. Need to create a sheet to document which campus will test which WorldCat option.
