Add "Prefer Open Access resources" option on the Online Services Order page
Configuring the Online Services Order (https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/030Fulfillment/080Configuring_Fulfillment/090Discovery_Interface_Display_Logic/035ViewIt#Configuring_the_Order_of_Online_Services) includes several options, including an "Additional Preferences" section where one can choose whether or not to prioritize CZ collections, source service, ID based linking services, or prefer resources with a PO Line. However, there is no option for prioritizing OA resources. In order to allow libraries to make Open Access resources more readily available to end users, in this idea, I request that a preference be added to this list, "Prefer Open Access resources." Like the other "Additional Preferences" option, there would be a radio button to select "Yes" or "No." I have attached a mockup image showing how this option would be added to the Additional Preferences section.
There is an existing preference hierarchy if multiple preferences are selected:
1.Services of collections/portfolios that have a linked PO Line (i.e., subscribed services or owned).
2.ID-based linked services.
3.Source services
4.Community Zone collections.
5.Top services.
6.Bottom services.
In this hierarchy, I suggest "Open Access resources" should appear as #1, above "Services of collections/portfolios that have a linked PO Line." This is because libraries that select "Yes" for "Prefer Open Access resources" want to promote Open Access and boost the Open Access portfolio over other portfolios. Libraries that want to prioritize access to paid resources over OA will select "No" for "Prefer Open Access resources" and will select "Yes" for "Prefer resources with PO Line," so their portfolios with attached PO lines will continue to be at the top of their lists.
