Policy Statement
Collections purchased/subscribed centrally (Model 3)
- 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 (Model 2)
- 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 (Model 1)
- 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, the 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
