Sometimes the best approach is somewhere in the middle. The wide to narrow search worked extremely well when the widest we could search was the CSU Network Zone filled with records for items held in the CSUwhole CSU collection and CDI. We can still set the default search to search all the records in the CSU as the default Search Profile without making it the expanded GTI. The local collection will appear in this search, but a local only Search Profile can still be added. The GTI will still be accessible for patrons who cannot find what they need in the CSU through the expanded GTI Search Profile.

Setting the default to the Network Zone collection CSU Collection will prioritize the entire CSU so patrons can easily find the right materials available through our courier routes. This will make a wide search without as many duplicate records that will come from libraries across the country. Prioritizing libraries on our shared courier should reduce the amount of requests for the same items from libraries across the country to reduce shipping costs without requiring time consuming workflows for Resource Sharing staff. In short, this should cut shipping costs, help patrons get materials faster, and help reduce the number of items needing staff mediation.

The recommended setup for Rapido is the CSU as Default setup. This will start each search with a wide search of the whole CSU but will leave out the influx of duplicate records available in the GTI.
