Sharing and Updates

5

Share any Discovery related information from other SILS groups

All-Chairs: Talked about the beeves. Two purposes for the beeves: for negotiation team to match up against RFP/contract and also to inform the Signature Success conversations with Ex Libris.

OT: Talked about beeves from a system perspective. Last Ex Libris Support meeting was fairly relaxed, didn’t delve into Primo VE topics.

RM: FYI New policy for Campus Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD) Metadata Practices which has some similar issues that we’ll face when looking at ebooks and EDI.

Slack/General Questions

5

 

UCB: Label on brief bib when campus has no local campus. “Not Available”, “check availability” “request it”. UCSC did usability testing and one of their research questions was how meaning the label was. Asked users what “not available” meant and people thought it was no way for them to get it which is why they changed it to “request this”. Jess, documentation is linked in the UX confluence group.

UCSC: Local group is thinking about how to talk to users about their next steps if they don’t find something. Currently a “horrible choose your own adventure”. Would ideally like a filter to lead people to all do the same next thing.

SILS Op Center: We were asked if there was any way to make the RLFs more visible in Primo VE. We told them we didn’t think so but SILS Discovery would be a better group to ask. However, we recently learned there are some issues around AFN counts which may make the Primo VE visibility question a lower priority.

SILS Op Center: UCSC has submitted new local resource type criteria for “video games” which has been implemented in the sandbox. Gem will post to slack the criteria so everyone can look. Next meeting we’ll ask if anyone has any concerns/objections to this going live in production.

Primo VE release schedule next steps

Review what has currently be added to the document page and refine.

Draft “Practice and Documentation”

Document looks good. We’re done!

Gem will give it one more pass to cleanup and then post to Slack for everyone to confirm it still looks good.

Next item to tackle

5

Determine if we wish to work on the CDI eBook issue, advocating/enhancement process for Primo VE improvements, or something else

We already have a partially filled out Exclude eBooks from CDI Results decision page from previous discussions. Next steps: determine stakeholders and fill out the RACI. Also, verify everything currently in the existing document is still correct.

We’ve decided to tackle the Exclude eBooks from CDI Results issue next.
