RMFG: OA Icon

• Some campuses display when at least 1 link points to an OA version

• Other campuses display only when all links point to an OA version

• Discovery thoughts? Due 3/29

PPC approved 2 decisions:

• NZ Access: Access into the Network Zone (NZ) Alma instance will be determined on a case by case basis

• Local bib data: Any data in the 5XX-7XX range that is local (that is not part of the OCLC master record) needs to be moved to a protected local field. In addition, Ex Libris recommends that institution-specific data be moved out of fields 900-949 and that only consortial data stay in those fields for the Network Zone. All campus-specific data in these fields needs to be relocated or deleted.

Discussion: Easy Active vs Fully Flexible

• Will confirm with ExLibris that we truly have a choice

• Which option does Discovery believe will provide the best user experience?

• Jess will present about the discovery implications of the two options at the SILS Chairs mtg tomorrow (3/24)

• OA Icon: Move discussion to Slack - decide whether OA icon should display only if all links are OA or if only one link is OA. @Jess Waggoner will clarify with RMFG whether they mean UC campuses when they say “some campuses”.

CDI: Easy Active vs Fully Flexible

Provide Discovery FG perspective for Wednesday All Chairs meeting

20 min

Ellen & Jared (CDI Sub-group)

• Questions to consider: in EasyActive, work that we’re saving electronic resources staff from may be pushed out to reference/instruction staff (who may sometimes be students themselves) who have to help people with getting access to things they find

• Need some context for the 4 billion Central Index records - how many of the 4 billion records could potentially be clutter (patents, etc.)?

• Does not appear that CDI is returning expected number of records for results if EasyActive is on

• @Jess Waggoner will check with ER/ACQ team why CDI results are not displaying as expected in Test if EasyActive is on.

UC-eLinks

Discuss re-name and logo

15 min

Jess & Michael

Literature review and environmental scan complete

• Any other data needed to help strengthen our case to change the label now?

  • not a lot of existing literature about access labels

• Preliminary thoughts on new label language?

  • Generally supportive of language that indicates clear path - “get it” vs “find online”

• Decision deferred to next week. Contribute any new information (including local feedback) to document.
