Active/inactive indicator for electronic collections
We propose an indicator - e.g. a yes/no radio button set - to indicate whether or not an electronic collection is active. This will make it easier to exclude inactive electronic collections from searches and Analytics reports. Current methods of indicating this status aren't comprehensive. The bib can be suppressed, and/or the URL removed, but there are other reasons to suppress bib records and remove URLs (such as when we want only portfolios to display in our discovery layer). In aggregator and selective packages, we can delete the service or mark it inactive, but this doesn't apply to database-type electronic collections.

I'm sorry to have no more votes, but I heartily support this idea, especially when there is the known gap of electronic collections not married to their bibliographic record in Analytics, so therefore no way to tell the suppression aspect.
