Policy Statement

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

If CZ ecollection records are found to be unsatisfactory or no CZ ecollection exists, campuses should avoid the practice of loading ecollection record sets into the CZ, because doing so requires a long-term commitment to maintaining the ecollection for others who may be using it. The better option is for the CSU to advocate with both ExLibris and the vendors for better CZ data. 

Collections purchased/subscribed centrally (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).
