Facets/Filters

What was decided upon? (e.g. what has been updated or changed?) Show Only, Date, Format, Library, Location, Language, Author/Creator, Subject, Journal Title, New Records, Collection

Why was this decided? (e.g. explain why this decision was reached. It may help to explain the way a procedure used to be handled pre-Alma) Notes from Subject Librarians:1. Availability–default; 2. Library—very important; 3. Resource Format—include data, peer reviewed options; 4. Date; 5. Subject—Note follow up comment from a librarian: “it occurred to me that maybe people confuse ‘Subject’ in DL with LC subject headings. The facet ‘Subject’ in DL is not subject headings and therefore isn’t as helpful … usually. In my experience, the subjects are too broad. For instance, the Subject facet, Jewish Identity, is not an LC subject heading. The LC subject heading is: Jews –Identity. So my argument would be to drop ‘Subject’ down the priority list.”; 6. Author/Creator; 7. Language; 8. Databases: Put at the bottom for staff use. Not useful for subject librarians. Agreed that the filters should be on the left side of the page.
