Posted on Behalf of The Open Discovery Initiative Standing Committee
Dear Colleagues,
The winter and spring have been a flurry of activities for the NISO Open Discovery Initiative Standing Committee (ODI), centered on wrapping up prior initiatives and kicking off work related to our Recommended Practice revision process.
The starting point for the revision process is information gathering, and much work this spring has gone into designing surveys for our three stakeholder groups: libraries, content providers, and discovery service providers.
We need your help! Please participate in the Libraries Survey to ensure the revised recommended practice reflects current discovery practices. This survey will be available until July 19, 2019. You can preview the survey questions using the pdf linked on the survey welcome screen.
Library Survey - https://bit.ly/2LndxRo
Survey questions will inform the following areas for the revision (more details about these available in the full work item proposal
https://bit.ly/2FxUU9J
* Library Responsibilities in ODI
* Handling of Open Access Content Including Hybrid OA Content
* More Meaningful Usage Statistics for Content Providers
* Fair Linking
* Identifying the Source of the Record in the Discovery Interface
* Content Coverage Disclosure (Reporting on Discovery Service Content at a Collection Level)
* Identification of Additional Metadata and Content Elements
Summary results from these surveys will be made available in an appendix to the revised Recommend Practice.
