Implementation Team
Moving discovery beyond the local level to the network level
Allow users to discover resources beyond our consortial level
Scope down to the regional, union view, or local
Database size – 100+ M records, growing 10M/year
Why OCLC?
Cooperative memberships status of OCLC Integration with mass digitization efforts Leverage investment with peer
institutions Ongoing research agenda Improved cataloging workflow Digital asset integration Journal article integration
Why OCLC (continued)
Goal is to explore a replacement for Melvyl
Campus OPACS Outside the scope of this pilot Staff use or for more specialized
purposes
Project Goals
Based on Worldcat Local• 10 UC branded URLs• 1 Melvyl branded URL
• Pilot available later this year (target)
• Continuous development• At least one upgrade during the pilot
• Links to local OPACS for circ/location information
What Will the Pilot Look Like?
Provides enhanced discovery services
Access to all of the current OCLC records from the 10 campuses
Operability with UC-eLinks and Request
Retrieves and displays records with local locations, holdings, and status information from local ILS systems
How Will the Project be Evaluated
Deliberate attempt to develop a new way for UC to work
• IMP team will reach out and tap UC experts in a variety of areas
• ACGS, for example, HOTs, CAMCIG, HOPS and CDC will be charged
• Every attempt will be made to include people from every campus
