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: updated Discovery’s MVP on PPC’s MVP sheet

ExL’s May 6th mtg will cover details re: cutover.

Using a randomizer tool, UCR was selected at the last IC meeting as the Primo VE instance to use for the Primo VE workshop week of May 17

June 15th:

  • Technical Services Freeze - stop updating Millennium

  • Alma Configuration Freeze

     - not allowed to make configuration changes in Alma until production environment is delivered just before go-live

  • Millennium data is migrated a final time and moved to the Alma cloud (Alma configuration settings made during Test Load are retained)

June 18th: Cutover deliverables (migration forms etc.) due to Ex Libris

From the Shared Governance Task Force: "Charges for the new phase groups are now being written since the structure and basic outline for each group have been vetted and approved."

 

Members should review the PPC MVP Document for updates; the list was shortened to reflect what is still left to do at go live and shortly thereafter. Link to the current PPC MVP sheet is linked on DFG homepage.

Search and Ranking in CDI - ExLibris

Dedup settings at each campus

  • Specify # of search terms to ensure a similar search test cases for satisficing undergraduate students to surface consortial materials; Ten (10)

  • Campuses should factor-in their unique campus collections

  • Consider using search terms from current search logs

  • Need to balance for MVP vs long-term refinement

  • Number of results to display is ten (10); should this remain for MVP?; revisit after Go Live to increase

  • Adjustments for Already-Alma and new to Alma campuses to determine Article and Book Chapter boosting factors; see Recommendations

  • RACI:
    A = DFG
    C = check-in with AEFG RMFG?

RACI: @Josephine Tan (Unlicensed) will take to PPC to see if there is any other groups

Reviewing Primo VE Training Workshop Questions pre-May 17th

Determine how to help out Internal Training Subgroup (ITS)

15 min

All

ITS would like us to look over the pre-workshop week questions that will have come in from the attendees.

 

Our group will review the questions on May 7th and have any comments to send to ITS by May 12th. The workshop begins on May 17th.

Submit to spreadsheet questions; ensure questions are in the appropriate workshop topic

PrimoVE First Look webinar

Discuss timeline and approach to leading such a webinar

Internal Training Subgroup inviting Discovery FG to lead a webinar for UC Wide Public Service Primo Training - First Look: UC Library Search.

ITS would like to know when would be the best date for this webinar. Many campuses and EUOS co-chairs would like the earlier-the-better date to help them prepare for and understand the new changes to expect with UC Library Search.

  • We’ll have a clearer preferred date to suggest to ITS after ExL’s May 6th mtg re: cutover details

Is there a difference between systemwide vs local internal training?
Is DFG the proper group for the webinar?

Experiences of Already-Alma/Primo campuses prior to Go Live.

It would be beneficial if electronic resources staff can provide information and participation of how and why electronic links work during training sessions and webinars since they are the ones with the deep knowledge of “where does that link come from?”

Share any presentations that any of us has already given to our local campuses as a first look either now and/or when already-Alma campuses gave similar staff first look as they were debuting their new system. Place any such materials in the Training folder on our Google Drive

 

@Josephine Tan (Unlicensed) bring back to ITS a consideration for local training rather than a systemwide webinar
