1. Melvyl & Related Services Patron chart

   1. Confirm action: Publish the first 4 rows only. 

   2. Confirm action: For Row #4, we changed the text to make it clear that this is relevant to links from databases/Google Scholar. Suggestion to actually put the buttons in there.

   3. Confirm action: For Row #3, we are ok saying "UC Library Search - Worldcat"

      1. Is there any other alternative way to say this? All campuses will have some way to get to Worldcat to do this, either via drop-down scope, or via outbound link in the Filters. The name they are using is "Worldcat" regardless of if it is Worldcat.org or Basic Worldcat Discovery. 

   4. Confirm action: For Row #1, us "my campus catalog or discovery tool" for the UC Library Search website (CDL) version.

2. For the Notification Messages (pre-go live messages)

   1. Confirm action: Publish "VERSION 2" in the Citation Linker section as a notification. 

      1. Note: This message needs to be the same for all campuses, but each campus version of "Fetch Item" may be different and may be called a different thing. The biggest reason why we should have a notification here is that some people may have a bookmark to this page, and they should be warned. After go-live, your campus can replace your Citation Linker link with whatever you want (e.g Advanced search, Fetch item, etc)

      2. Related comment: We can also request a static page after go-live that says the Citation linker is retired, etc. 

   2. Confirm action: Consider the alternative version for the UC-eLinks notification. 

      1. We know now that this will be a rolling timeframe, and there will be several months where UC-eLinks and Get it at UC coexist. 

   3. Action: Each campus can write their own SFX A-Z list notification. Apparently these are super customized anyway. You can email UCELinks@ucop.edu  to request customization changes. (Note that Alison out last week June - first week July and she is the one doing all the changes.) The simpler, the better. I don't know that we will have a post-go live message on this.
