Open WorldCat
Open-access to part of WorldCat.
Zip codes
Links drop into record (most of
the time)
Union catalogs not yet included
CDL can do some account set up
to enable this for campuses.
Action item: CDL will investigate making it possible for
Open WorldCat to show item-level records in Melvyl as well as local UC
catalogs.

One-word journal titles
Action: CDL may have a potential fix. Must wait for
ExLibris upgrades take place—some time this academic year. Also look for
solution that would bring the single-word title to the top of the display.

Metasearch:
What CDL is doing:
- Better to not use metalib interface. Working the ExLibraris
to bypass this.
- CDL is building a component in their “common framework” to
pull out API and present it better to enduser.
- CDL did focus-group assessment at UCLA with grad students.
European integration portal as model. This group (mostly SS and Human)
was very book oriented. Interested in bibliographies.
CLD is
feeding info from focus group back into user interface.
Undergrad
European Integration Portal is pretty straightforward.
UCD:
Mysearch is the out of the box ExLibris metasearch.
Metasearch
with persistent favorite databases is desirable.
CDL
wants to give flexibility for how you integrate metasearch into your site.
U of
Rochester has done a lot of work on how to embed metasearch into their
catalog.
Action: CDL will provide quarterly reports
as metasearch develops.

OpenURLs for ejournals instead
of PIDs
PID
server is difficult to maintain and somewhat redundant.
Most
PIDs can work under open URLs.
Users
don’t care about PIDs v. URLs.
Holdings
will continue to be attached.
Requires
extra click but information about holdings is worth it.
CDL
will take this to HOTS to see if there are any concerns.
CDL is
testing additional UC-eLinks services available for campus activation.
CDL is
doing usability testing. Will report when results are in.
Staged
presentation of UC-eLinks—show full text only on initial screen.

Final Report of the UC Chat
Collaboration
- Where do we go from here?
OCLC
wants us to pay for access.
Need
to know actual cost.
Is
there a sub-set ready to do a true shared system—not just evenings?
Action: CDL will investigate a systemwide
license.
Action: Ask DRCIG to work on a plan of
action. Connect with UCD Health Sciences and interested campuses.

ISRAC
- Follow up to phone conference
- Directions for ISRAC?
Action: ISRAC should sunset.
Action:
DB will report to SOPAG on how well the
model worked.
Did ISRAC work as a model for CDL shared
service?
ISRAC self evaluation as part of their
final report.
CDL evaluation.
HOPS evaluation.
Might have been better to do this as a HOPS
sub-group plus a task force of experts.

Discuss Resource Liaisons with
CDC
About 100 CDL resource liaisons
now.
Revisit
with CDC to see what benefits there are from this program.
Is this
a cost-effective approach? Would it be better to make this a full-time job
for one or two FTE? Would the quality of the work suffer?
Action item: Wait to see result of CDL’s
assessment and for a list of which resources require the most care and
feeding.

HOPS Goals 2002-2005
1.
Advance the
incorporation of information literacy into the UC curriculum for lower and
upper division undergraduates and graduate students, through collaboration with
other groups and through emphasis on information literacy as a vital component
of critical thinking skills.
2.
Advance diverse new
methods of delivering services to expand on the foundation of our existing
services through such avenues as digital reference service, Web services
directed toward PDA users, and integration of Web-based courseware with the
libraries’ electronic tools.
3.
Advance the need to
embrace service quality research methods and assessment across the UC
libraries.
4.
Advance awareness of
the need for, and support progress toward, more robust remote access to library
resources across the UC system.
5.
Advance awareness of
the need to embrace Web technology more widely in the promotion of public
services by, for example, collaborating with the Resource Sharing Committee and
our campus communities to support expanded desktop document delivery services
and by monitoring UC-wide access integration developments.
