AFN Consortial Block Decision Page

 

https://uc-sils.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FUL/pages/2041217066/UC+AFN+Consortia+Blocks

“As stakeholders in this decision, we are seeking your input (and any of your local library/campus staff you deem appropriate) in this proposal”

 

Discovery endorses this position

 

An existing issue is that users with blocks see a page that simply says the page isn’t available for their user group. We’ll want to review that language and find something more informative. If they are blocked because of a user group, it should say so. If they are blocked because of a billion fines, it should say that.

Respond to the team that “Discovery endorses this position.”

Database Search

Need examples

 

 

Decision Page: https://uc-sils.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DIS/pages/2129297409

Collecting https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JBn7QAtqNV1A7IhBB1nqg5GnSCUqvp7GlfHKI5HMIa4/edit?usp=sharing

 

FYI:

 

Document Database Search failures so we can start identifying the multiple issues affecting searches.
5

Hathi Trust

Need examples

Report:

ticket with ExL about how the boosting interacts. They may not know that this is a problem that we’re struggling with.

We don’t think the problem (Records from Hathi Trust missing in CDI) is the problem. We think that the CDI records are simply ranking lower than UC held items.

 

 

We’ll go through the original report and replicate their testing and document differences (since NZ activated Hathitrust worldwide since this report was created)
We’ll submit an ExL ticket for more documentation re: ranking configuration and how it interacts with other ranking configurations.
Ask UX subteam to look into creating a “button” for cdi records that have a link to hathitrust on the brief record results.
