The purpose of activating, creating, and maintaining e-resource records (electronic collections and portfolios) is to enable discoverability and access for end users, and – in conjunction with the vendor records – to support the colleges' IZ acquisition data and workflows
Consortial advantage: reduce duplication where multiple colleges licence license the same content, both in terms of cost savings (limit record count) and workload across the system

Activity | Notes |
|---|---|
Activate Community Zone (CZ) e-resource records, configure as necessary to support access, and distribute to licensed colleges | Configuration may include for example enabling for proxy (remote) access and entering customer linking parameters |
Create vendor records in the NZ and distribute to college IZs | The distribution part may fall under a different service proposal? (Also see my note under “Dependencies”) |
Enhance CZ e-resource records as needed to support discoverability and access | Enhancements may include for example overriding title, description, and URL fields, with a priority focus initially on meeting basic functional requirements |
Create local e-resource records where no viable options exist in the CZ | We’re still exploring solutions for these missing e-resources, and this may overlap with other service proposals |
Provide the colleges with front-line tech support for NZ e-resources | Including system testing and troubleshooting and liaising with the e-resource vendor and ExLibris |
