Topic | Notes |
|---|---|
Linked data group | Update: Proposal being sent to STIM and COLD for 2 new exploratory groups - 1 for ULMS/MARC and 1 for DigRepo/other-metadata - to be supported in AY 2024/25. These groups to come up with proposals for time and funding needs to train CSU library teams in AY’s 25-30 Discussion: CH: getting the issues on COLD’s radar, especially with new deans - it’s finally coming! it’s actually here! All the campuses will need to be involved. For May COLD meeting HC: resource types and how will this effect us? It' will be interconnected CO: Reference highlight is turned on at Baker - only campus doing it – pulling in reference from Wikipedia |
Relevancy ranking and view settings (See spreadsheet) | Update: None from Jill - she did not get around to sending that email. Discussion: |
Title/portfolio matching | Update: ERM group found a solution that works for e-resources which come from, or can be put into collections. The solutions involve changing ViewIt settings for e-resource collections to eliminate Discussion: fuzzy title matching was recommended to everyone: Jill has long explanation on why this is not a sufficient solution for short titles although it has potential to help with long ones. Looking forward to hearing updates from ERM Parameters to turn on in ViewIt or Display Logic |
Support cases | CH: Support cases related to GTI (43 cases) - 9 times, ExLibris fixed something - 1 time ran DeDupe index - 5, fix in a release - A LOT of we can’t fix it. |
General view settings | Other services: Newspaper search, Highlight reference, etc. CL: Personalized search - changes search ranking - problem is that it isn’t obvious Voice search - really low - but is it needed for accessibility? CW: doesn’t think it’s necessary because the site is already optimized - not need for compliance To-do for CH: look at which schools have which boxes checked in the main view  |
Other ideas | Discussed use and integration of LibApps modules into OneSearch CW told story about test done as SacState where a “Unicorn party” was put on the calendar through LibCal. The team forgot it was there as a test, and students asked the reference staff about it wanting to attend. So SacState team turned it into a real thing that they hold every semester. |
Central package | HC does a lot of local coding and updates that she tests in the Dev environment. She used to use the Central Package code on GitHub to revert or get updates but it’s been moved – Follow-up 4/22: CH discovered that CO didn’t want to have a presence on GitHub anymore so they moved to the package to a more secure site. CH gave this information to HC |
Faceting | Update: SJSU doing UX Cafe-style testing in two weeks to get student feedback on facets. Will be held on 4/24, Jill will report back |
FRBR and Dedupe | Update: Jill experimenting in SJSU test view |
Resource and material type | Update: For secondary resources we’re going to do one more presentation for RMFC groups and then go forward with copying over agreed upon resource types. |
Addendum Norm rules for search and discovery | From discussion on 4/18 after Secondary resource type forum CW brought question to team regarding display of MARC 130 over MARC 245 as title information in OneSearch. This started a discussion about the use of 130 as uniform title and why the NZ group originally added it to the title norm rule. Discussion resulted in two action items: |
