<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#16355A">I found the list, Amy! The small group was really diligent, and your work made a huge difference for us!

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#16355A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#16355A">When we first went to Primo through ORCA, each institution filled out a workbook about which resources to activate. Peninsula chose a very short list of activations
from the “free” resources that were available at the time, because of problems like no full-text available, lots of broken links, etc. (Our original activation list is attached, FYI.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#16355A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#16355A">Then we (the ORCA libraries collectively) discovered that ExL had treated us as a consortium with “consortial inheritance”, which meant that a number of free resources
had been activated for us whether we requested them or not. So the small group checked every collection. The list Amy refers to is also attached. I’m not sure about the exact criteria used, but the results were a vast improvement over the “consortial” activations.
Maybe these can help the new efforts, too.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">A small group of us did this the first time the ORCA libraries went to Primo, because we all had to share one PCI and needed to accommodate all member libraries’ subscription collections, while weeding out the
junky, ahem…less useful, “free” collections. We went through every single collection in PCI to determine which ones were actually good quality, didn’t make you create an account first, were primary in English, etc. then sent out a recommendation to our member
libraries. I’ll see if I can find our criteria and our final list, which might speed things along this go-around. I would be interested again in participating if time allows.

<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings, folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Last summer LWTech started activating open access collections in the Primo Central Index as a way to leverage freely-available, high quality information made available through the platform. The librarians at LWTech had several criteria
for “turning on” and leaving on a collection (including ensuring the collection had actual items populating in Primo, that there was no paywall or login wall, and that the majority of the contents are in English—with some exceptions).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s been a year and now Sue Wozniak and I are interested in looking at the efficacy and quality of the collections once again. We’re looking at exploring the collections and collecting both quantitative and qualitative data on them, since
Ex Libris doesn’t do a good job at it. Even more importantly, we’re interested in seeing what disciplines the collections are aligned with (based on what academic programs are run at our school).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone is interested in collaborating, Sue and I would be open to a work group or other more organized initiative. The goal would be to get this completely done from start to finish in July and August (so it’s a quick project), with
the understanding that it would be revisited each Summer in new iterations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please reach out if you’re interested in participating or have any general thoughts on the OA collections in PCI.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
