Working Group

Discovery Working Group

Report Summary

At this time the working group has made good progress in its work on normalization and continues to refine Primo results and interface with continued work in this area with help from Technical Services. We hope this work will be completed by the 4/1/2017 renorm. The group has sent 2 requests for the upcoming boosting/FRBR training to improve FRBR display and de-emphasize less relevant content such as Reference Entries. Additional training from EL and the CSU on Primo Back Office processes and procedures is under review. The group continues to work with EL on outstanding UI issues, including FRBR, boosting, search result issues, etc. The late delivery of Primo has pushed out Discovery's deadlines but regular progress is now being made. Progress will increase as UX testing begins to inform our configuration decisions and our task forces can meet reguarly. A better understanding of how to access and utilize the Primo sandbox should also improve progress.

Waiting on EL for responses to issues:
