Policy Statement

Collections purchased/subscribed centrally

...

• If unique to the CSU (i.e. the Netlibrary and ebrary/EBL/myiLiibrary packages mentioned above):  Centrally create electronic collections in the NZ and share with all campuses.
• If standard packages, not unique to the CSU:
  • ebrary Academic Complete must be managed centrally by sharing its CZ collection in the NZ. This is due to the package's large size and frequent changes in content.
  • DECISION PENDING RE SMALLER PACKAGES LIKE SAFARI depending on analysis of CZ record currency and quality, options include:
    • • Active CZ collection in the NZ OR
      • Load records as an electronic collection at the NZ level for sharing (campuses would need to volunteer to maintain)

Collections negotiated centrally but opt-in at the campus level

...

• Share their CZ collections in the NZ in the absence of some other provision in the NZ (such as a determination to provide a CSU-maintained NZ collection).

Collections outside SDLC, local-only

...

• If the collection is already active in the NZ (for example, because other CSU's have the same package), share the NZ collection.
• If the collection is not already active in the NZ, campus may choose among available options:
  
  • Activate the CZ collection
  • Load records from OCLC Connexion Collection Manager into your IZ and create an local electronic collection
  • Load records directly from the vendor into your IZ and create an local electronic collection

...

Do not turn on the same collection in the CZ if it is already in the NZ; do not turn on a collection in the CZ if you have already created it as a local electronic collection; and so on. Choose only one option for any given collection. 

Considerations when deciding whether to use the CZ or create a local electronic collection

...

CZ Advantages

• Maintenance efficiencies for large and frequently changing collections
• Aggregator collections: added and deleted titles managed automatically
• Selective collections: easy ordering and activation of new titles in active CZ collection
• Automatic updating of URLs in portfolios if URL changes in the collection
• Weekly list of collection updates from ExLibris that can be used to updateany outside systems, like OCLC holdings and A-Z lists.
