Screen Reader Issue

Follow up

Jackie

Campus ADA person walked through requesting item with screen readers. It was non-standard usability and didn’t read all the elements, etc. Jackie is following up with local developers and following up on the ticket with Ex Libris from 2020. Ex Libris doesn’t do much functionality ADA updates.

Hathi Trust record search ranking

Update

UX Team wants to look at if improvements to Direct Linking would make it a suitable alternative to making a special button on the brief record.

Tracking page: Spreadsheet

Report: HathiTrust Links in SILS

Looks like the adding the worldwide collection may have resolved the ranking issues. Remaining campuses will test 5 each and we’ll review next time.

Results are appearing on the first page as expected.

With the incorporation of the World Hathi Trust thingy. Recommendation/decision page?

Discovery UX Subgroup

Update

The UX subgroup will be meeting with the main group for the time being, with separate meetings as needed to address specific issues.

FYI: Proposal for UX Subgroup

It’s been beneficial to have the flexibility of UX subject experts that are not officially part of the main representative group. But, everyone on the subgroup is currently part of the main group except for Joshua and Lisa. Meeting together would keep all members of the subgroup “on the same page.”

Need to adjust the proposal or documentation to stress that Subgroup members that are not campus reps for DISC do not have a vote. 1 campus, 1 rep, 1 vote.

DISC Ops Subteam Membership Transition

Identify:
Who is rotating off,
Who is staying on,
Who will be vice chair.

Gem has agreed to be chair going forward.

We need a vice chair.

What’s Vice Chair do?

• Meeting with Chair every other week to talk about agenda and how to tackle things.

• Assist with Decision Pages.

• Expectation is the vice chair will become chair. But sometimes “things happen”

Future Reboot Discussions

Really think about this over the next couple of weeks. They’ll be asking questions at the Reboot meeting

Does the charge, as written, still reflect what we want to get out of this group? Charge (pg. 18)

Does this subteam have the right people from each campus to meet the Charge?

What’s working?

What hasn’t worked?

What might we try?

• We struggle with harmonization. It’s a big part of our charge and we don’t find a lot of places where we can or will harmonize.

• Focus less on harmonizing with each other but to push for change with Ex Libris for stuff like ADA? Functionalities that don’t exist but should.

• Solidify issues for efficacy, creating consortia tickets for usability, equity, issues, enhancements implemented from quarterly releases.

• It would be helpful to check in on release updates in the group before actual release. We tend to wait for other campuses to “kick the tires” before looking at it.

Any outstanding SLACK questions or other things that have come up?

UCB - planning to start testing WorldCat options. Where to “put it” wasn’t harmonized at go-live.

Zoe - UCLA design students are working on Primo rebrand, will be presenting at 2.
