Journal Search: Consider the NZ activation for e-resources with Inventory Management Groups in the IZ
Our consortium activates Open Access e-collections in the Network Zone so that they are available in every IZ of the network. Electronic collections for Open Access e-resources are activated without any Inventory Management Group assigned to it. It should display for every IZ and every Inventory Management Group within the IZ.
Some of the licensed e-collections in the IZs also cover e-resources that are activated in the NZ as Open Access. (Journals can have partial Open Access) The IZs are using Inventory Management Groups, and the local views are assigned to the campuses of the specific Inventory Management Groups. The Journal Search is activated in the views.
Issue
The Journal Search records in affiliated views are filtered by the view affiliation and the corresponding Inventory Management Group. If there is an e-resource activated both in IZ and NZ, the current mechanism overrides the Inventory Management Groups of the NZ with the configuration set in the IZ. Therefore, only the licensed coverage of an e-resource is considered for the Journal Search, but not the Open Access part activated in the NZ. This results in incomplete search offer in the Journal Search of the views affiliated with a campus / library.
Example
View A affiliated with a campus A
View B affiliated with a campus B
View C with no affiliated campus
E-resource
Activated in IZ for campus A for licensed coverage
Activated in NZ without restrictions for the Open Access coverage
Searchable in Journal Search of campus A – correct, the title is licensed in campus A
Not searchable in Journal Search of campus B – incorrect, the title is not licensed in campus B, but OA coverage from NZ should apply
Searchable in Journal Search of view C – correct, no campus affiliation
