    There is so much redundant work going on around the country, with many libraries loading the same records. It's a huge waste of time and effort. And it would be easy to avoid!

    I appreciate the Anonymous commenter (2020-07-20)'s description of the GPO record set overwhelming local results. However, without the record set being available as a CDI source, institutions cannot make the choice to include them without going through separate and time-intensive MARC loads. I would like to see GPO content available to activate in CDI, optimistically trusting that Primo's relevance ranking and facets will appropriately surface local records.

    A no vote. I remember from my intesive reference work at a partial GPO Depository that the GPO results were enormous and that they often buried/obsfucated the local resources. I would prefer to only add such resources if I as a researcher were interested in the additional content as I cast my net. So the question would become, would our users know of this effect and how could they quickly adjust for it in the OneSearch environment? Are the limiters strong enough to be able to quickly remove the results?

    I'd be very cautious with this "improvement."

    Please Add Marcives GPO DB --they are wonderful resources for the students

  • Bernice Suphal commented  · 

    Please add Marcive's GPO database to the PC--it should be included.

  • J.A. Drobnicki commented  · 

    Government documents should be included in CDI .

  • Mariana R. commented  · 

    A plea from a reference librarian to do this! It's so confusing for students otherwise.

  • Rebecca Arzola commented  · 

    Yes, please add Marcive's GPO database to the PCI.

    Please add the Marcive GPO DB to the PCI

  • Nicole Smith commented  · 

    Yes, please!! This is critical for us in Gov Docs to streamline workflows.

  • Louise Fluk commented  · 

    Agree that government documents should be included in CDI.

  • Daniela Kroon commented  · 

    I am also curious to know what the status of the review is. Having the records available in CDI will streamline workflows, making records available seamless for retrieval.

    We would also like very much to see MARCIVE GPO in the PCI. Any status updates on this collection?
