What is the CDI impact on NZ collections? Will NZ collections be duplicated in the IZ? Or will NZ collections remain in the NZ and the NZ manager will have to create different groups in the NZ based on what institutions would like suppressed or not? How does Fully Flexible vs Easy Active factor into this? | Awaiting Ex Libris Response | |
Will Open Access collections be automatically enabled? | Awaiting Ex Libris Response | |
Is Hathitrust currently set for full-text search as opposed to metadata search? I've read that there are plans to update this to metadata search but is there a timeline? | Awaiting Ex Libris Response | |
It looks like the primo search scope will factor in this as well. I read some documentation that recommended that libraries set their search to filtered search. Could you expand on that? | Awaiting Ex Libris Response | |
This Fully Flexible documentation states, "There is no need to check which other collections to activate to achieve the best possible alternative coverage for such collections" However, in the webinar at 28.46, the presenter says we will need to take care of alternative coverage. Can we get clarification? | Awaiting Ex Libris Response | |
It's my understanding that "All collections that are set to full-text available will be automatically be searchable in unexpanded search regardless if the “Yes” checkbox for "Active for search in CDI" is checked or not." Is that correct? | Awaiting Ex Libris Response | |
I'm curious about this because if a consortia is set up so each institution is maintaining its own CDI in its IZ, then, shouldn't the institution be able to decide which setting it wants? | Awaiting Ex Libris Response | |
Currently we are not using a shared PCI activation model. Each institution is activating for both shared resources and individually subscribed resources. So there are no central office activations to migrate. I would like clarification that that we will continue to have the option of each institution activating their own resources AND choosing whether to go with Fully Flexible or Easy Activation. If that is the case, it seems we would want a conversation about whether we want

Answer (2/1627/2020): We are adding the CDI fields to Alma Analytics so you will be able to select by type of collections and whether they are in CDI or not. The development is not yet done, this is planned to be added in May so will not be available immediately but soon after you are enabled with CDI. Documentation with more details on the fields etc. will become available upon release. There is one customer and the other are the institutions that are part of the "California State University (System)", that is mean that the campuses are under the same client. |

Answer (2/11/2020): You mean when you are going live with CDI? Yes, if you are all registered under the same customer then you need to go live together. You can either agree on a date or you wait until the general switchover when we automatically switch all to production in July/August. About the EasyActive – currently all institutions in a consortium (connected to one Alma network) need to be on the same setting. We did have some requests to provide an option for individual institutions in a consortium to move to EasyActive but nothing definite. Do you already know which institutions would choose EasyActive as opposed to the Fully Flexible setting? |

Answer (1/30/2020): Records with different ISSNs are not merged. Were you thinking of a specific use case? It does not seem likely that there are records for articles that are exactly the same but have different ISSNs but I can check to make sure if you have an example or a specific use case. Follow-up question: If ExL will be merging records according to ISSN, what happens to records that shouldn’t be merged together? Like a bibliographic record for a print journal linking to a CZ e-portfolio Answer (1/31/2020)We are not merging CDI records with records from the CZ, or other records that you create locally. Also, CDI indexes articles rather than journal records. |
