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.

UCI like records avail whether or not you have online access. ILL is very fast. Increases the liklihood there will be ILL from advanced grad students, faculty. UCD made the decision with a focus on undergraduate users. Public service librarians encountered confused students. UCSC Preferenced novice success. Emphasis on topic searches not individual item. Make discovery as efficient as possible. UCSC plans to start advertising ILL available in 1-2 day as a stat msg under status.

Note from @Sharon Shafer (Unlicensed) regarding agenda item 1. UCLA Library ingested the Film and Television Library catalog records during the Alma data harvest and there was concern about the unique needs of item display and search for the film and television records. UCLA Discovery Functional Group started a document to examine the MARC fields and their function. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qWW7wr3pWau7wbAbthSB9lLcv3T0xYol990FV48MpbM/edit Should we share this with RMFG?
