Today I started a new Serials Solution Project. I am working on reviving the federated search (called 360 Search in Serials Solution). The Library had used the federated search approximately two years ago with unsatisfactory results and I am trying to improve and revive it.
Today I created an excel spreadsheet with three columns:
1. The serials that Serials Solutions can include in the federated search
2. The serials that MCU library holds
3. The serials that MCU had used in the federated search in the past.
I color coded each of the MCU serials titles to indicate if Serials Solutions can include it in a federated search or if S.S. could only display a link to the database which the user would have to search separately.
Next week I will discuss progress so far with my supervisor and proceed to the next step, which I think will be "turning on" the federated search and testing to see which serials we want to include in the overall federated search or in subject specific federated search.
7 hours.
