Action Taken
The Discovery Working group was commissioned to create a survey to determine the interest in adopting a unified name across the system. The group petitioned those on the discovery listserv for potential name suggestions to include in the survey. The decision was made to include the options, OneSearch, Library Search, AllSearch, and Primo. The survey also provided a way for respondents to suggest names of their own.
The survey was distributed on the listserv and responses were gathered in July 2016.
Findings
The results of the survey showed that of the 21 campuses that responded, 14 responded positively to the adoption of a unified name, while two campuses indicated they were against the idea. The other five campuses were neutral on the topic.

Lastly, we asked how many libraries in the system would be likely to adopt a unified name. Of the 21 that responded to this question, 16 said they were extremely or somewhat likely to adopt the unified name. There were three that indicated they were neither likely nor unlikely, and two that were somewhat or extremely unlikely. Not surprisingly, these sentiments closely reflected the answers to the first question.
Policy Suggestion
The CSU system should adopt the name OneSearch as a unified name for the Discovery Service. This name will be applied across all of the 23 campuses.
