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.

Josephine

Sarah

  • End User Outreach Subgroup (EUOS) charged with decision for SILS Project communications graphic design. We will be consulted on their decision.

  • Jess & Josephine met with co-chairs of Resource Management (RM) as they will consult with us for some of their Decisions.

 

Example of CSU’s OneSearch logo

 

A. decide to design within UC and Primo VE guidelines & limits

or

B. something outside those limits – “Octopus like”

  • Josephine in conversation with Stacy Brinkman (EUOS) chair and Caitlin Nelson (Project Manager)

  • RM co-chairs (Liz Miraglia & Sarah Wallbank) will provide us with a list of scenarios for us to test out once Vanguard Primo VE access is available.

  • Josephine has emailed and waiting to hear back from David Walker of CSU consortium to get more info on how they approached logo branding. {David replied: CSU hired their marketing team from San Bernadino to design logo; that team also made some name suggestions (weren’t popular) & ultimately chose OneSearch as a name their Discovery team came up with themselves.}

  • Discovery FG is in charge of logo & branding. End User Outreach Subgroup takes our work and runs with it in materials.

Issues under discussion

  • Branding & marketing

  • Confusion - don’t want duplication. Don’t need a stand alone so why have. Couldn’t see the point of having a union view

  • SCOPES

    • Default scopes is what groups zoomed in on

    • San Jose Model is liked by an expert staff member

    • want default scope to be IZ

    • Makes sense to focus on what users can get immediately

    • systemwide scopes - example law school specific

    • Q: Ability to bring worldcat view in to primo? (example? Boston University Libraries created a worldcat search profile in their Primo system)

      • Initial suspicion it would require a specific configuration

  • ILL functionality

    • want to get to worldcat easily to search for items no UC owns

    • limit by availability matters a lot

  • CARLI - mandate to provide services to the whole state. Perhaps see union view as part of their mandate? Complex organization.

  • Creative Tools available

    • Perhaps one consortial view with all bells and whistles turned on. Like a sandbox with a salad bar of all the tools that exist

  • Technical debt - if there is a union view, who is tasked with maintaining it

 

 

@Jess Waggoner consult with EXL re: Will staff miss anything by not having a union view? Will there be a benefit for bots, SEO, text mining?
@Jess Waggoner share the link to the library that brought worldcat view in to Primo
