What’s Happening Now Ctd • Campus participation • Reclamation projects, Z39.50 testing, campus branding • New Task Groups formed • End User Communication, Help & End User Support
Pilot Overview • Based on WorldCat Local • Multiple views of Next Generation Melvyl • 10 campus-specific views • 1 UC-wide view • Continuous development • Links to local OPACs for circulation & location information • UC-eLinks • Google mass digitized content will be visible
What makes UC’s pilot unique? • Discovery -- Ranking in a local view • Holdings/Availability via Z39.50 interoperability with local systems • Place Hold button leading to local system • Testing of UC Libraries icon and WorldCat Local icon for accessing item
