  1. Display Logic: shared NZ choices in IZ

    Currently, the Display Logic settings are limited to IZ resources only; they do not allow choices for resources that are shared from the NZ among several institutions.

    For example, my library offers unmediated CCC document delivery for certain Wiley titles we don't subscribe to. So when I set the display logic rule, it should be "Hide service Full Text with Electronic collection = CCC Get It Now Wiley if exists service Full Text with Electronic collection = Wiley Online Library." However, because the Wiley Online Library ecollection is shared in the NZ for my consortium, it will not appear as…

  2. Set up Online Service Order configuration in the NZ and be able to share with the IZ.

    We would like to be able to set up Online Service Order in the NZ and share that configuration with the IZ. The goal is push the shared OA e-collections to the bottom of the list so they do not display first in the list.

  3. Make reports in the ACTL of a network environment comprehensive

    Working at an institution that is part of a network environment with one Network Zone and various Institution Zones, the Authority Control Task List, in its current form, is a tool that is of very limited use.

    NZ-BIB-records are processed by the various jobs on the NZ level, while IZ-BIB-records are processed on the IZ level. On the IZ level, one is currently notified about IZ records, along with records linked to CZ - even if the latter are obviously not processed on the IZ level, but on the CZ level.

    Records linked to NZ (which, in the framework mentioned…

  4. Make ACTL reports dynamic

    In a network environment usually the majority of Institution-Zone-BIB-records are linked to the Network Zone. Currently the ACTL reports are not comprehensive – see Ideas Exchange “Make reports in the ACTL of a network environment comprehensive”.

    Once the IZ-ACTL comprehensively reports on the records representing all the resources available in a particular library, it would be of great help if the reports within a NZ environment were dynamic. Meaning that if one of the staff users of any of the Institution Zones has already corrected a NZ record it is linked to, and subsequently has deleted the item in their…
