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.

PPC/All Chairs:

  • RMFG has developed a collaborative workflow testing document that indicates impacted groups - but they will continue to reach out directly when seeking consultation

  • Who will name automated fulfillment network? Decided this was Discovery’s role. Basically this applies to labeling of “Resource Sharing” within Primo UI

  • Concerns about workload implications if we go with Fully Flexible CDI

 

@Jess Waggoner will share document re: CDI by Apr 9, 2021
@Jess Waggoner will continue using SC testers for CDI exploration and share by Apr 12, 2021

RLF Records

 

15 min

All

  • Fulfillment FG has recommended suppressing local holdings for RLF records

  • RMFG is asking DFG:

    • Do you think that users benefit from being able to do these kinds of title-level searches for items that would otherwise only be searchable at the journal/series level?

    • If so, is it preferable for us to suppress our holdings and include some kind of note to direct users to search for the main series for UCSD items? There are times where the item is available at another campus and so they might just as easily get it that way without having to request the RLF copy.

Disco FG will document concerns. E.g.

  • Concern: search. Loss of rich, descriptive, granular access e.g. in series item-level cataloging.

  • Concern: timing. Is this MVP? Cleanup is an issue. RLF Task group won’t be done with its work until after go-live.

  • Concern: backlog. E.g. UCSB “decanted” materials and SRLF is not caught up.

  • Concern: user experience & training for MVP. If we don’t suppress, all public services will have to get used to holdings being a little wrong sometimes.

  • Concern: special collex. E.g. because even if SD item is at SRLF, researchers have to be in SD to view/use it.

@Heather Smedberg (Unlicensed) will write up with @Sharon Shafer (Unlicensed) document with background and tasks to pass off to PPC by Apr 9, 2021

Revised branding decision for Go Live

Discuss and move toward a decision

30 min

All

  • Flexibility is desired.

  • Prominent is desirable. E.g. footer does not meet the goal of prominence.

  • Other menus and other local design preferences matter. E.g. campuses that eventually want to heavily customize the top menu bars should have flexibility.

  • Responsive design matters. Campuses should understand how logos display on phones etc. E.g. Cal State Fullerton’s Primo does not show OneSearch logo on a phone.

@Jess Waggoner will draft up decision for next meeting on Apr 13, 2021
