Policy Statement

Collections outside SDLC,

...

locally subscribed or purchased (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 subscribed or purchased

...

centrally (Model 2)

• 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)
