[Wactclc-primo] Summer Project: Auditing Open Access Collections in PCI

[Guidry, Wade]

Greg,

No, nothing special is required to work across institutions.

I'd recommend setting up a doodle poll to determine a date / time for an initial call, and those interested can respond.

I'll be happy to participate as well, not so much for doing OA evaluation, but providing any technical guidance about Primo, Alma, the PCI, etc.

A good starting point might actually be the work already done by U of M.

Hi Traci-thanks for being interested! Let's definitely chat.

Wade, this is fantastic information. We should be able to use some of that for our own workflow.

I wonder what the best way to rally folks in an ordered way over the next couple weeks might be. Does any official procedure become required for work groups through the consortium?

As you consider OA content activation individually or as a group, I'd recommend googling around to see what info others might have done already in this area.

I just did a quick search, and came up with:

A presentation by U of Minnesota at ELUNA 2017: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1y9xu9YAImmkfBx0E-iaVR1JpAczp3tLN

Most importantly, the presentation includes links to continually updated google docs lists of what OA content UM is activating (in both the Alma CZ and the PCI), and includes notes on individual collections.

Hi Greg,

This is a great idea. I would be interested in being part of a work group.

Subject: [Wactclc-primo] Summer Project: Auditing Open Access Collections in PCI

Greetings, folks,

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).

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).

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.

Please reach out if you're interested in participating or have any general thoughts on the OA collections in PCI.

Thanks,

Greg
