SLF-South wrong AFN items issue

20

Sabrina

Wrong item regularly being sent when requests are coming through from Multivolume sets.

UCSB, UCR, UCB all notice that this happens often

UCD notes this is an occasional problem

UCM & UCSC haven’t noticed as much

Its possible that those who have SLF-S first in the Alma rota experiance this problem more as NRLF’s workflow accounts for these differences.

Gather examples to put together a proposal that SLF-S fix their workflow

Everyone to gather examples of when this happens. Compile these together.

@Dawson Kelly (UCSC) to make spreadsheet for tracking these

Stats tracking for Alma Uploads

10

Sabrina

Some libraries use Alma to send PDFs/electronic deliveries to patrons. VDX/Tipasa requests are cancelled so how to we track? UCOP stats might not be accurate for these institutions.

UCR, UCSF, UCM use this

UCSC etc does not

UCR exploring stats locally

UCR to update RS-OST when they have a report

4

UC - UC requests in Tipasa

10

Dawson

Lending AFN conversions are laborious and UCSC has decided to stop doing them. Considering cancelling Tipasa request from other UCs that aren’t spec col.

This could have a significant impact on other UCs, more data to be considered.

No decision made

 

Future action point, create a document that tracks each UCs decisions around borrowing & lending UC-UC in Tipasa
