[Discovery_PVE_Comm] September meeting follow-up

[Skaggs, Lindsey]

Hi all,

Thanks for a productive meeting last week! As promised, I'm following up with our "homework" for October's meeting. Please enable the AI Research Assistant in a test view and spend some time with it before our next meeting. We'll use the following questions to guide our discussion (please feel free to add to this list):


  1.  What were your initial impressions of the Research Assistant?
  2.  There is information in the ExL documentation<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Product_Documentation/020Primo_VE/Primo_VE_(English)/015_Getting_Started_with_Primo_Research_Assistant__;!!DZ3fjg!6nurd7eK5Wy23QYmtW_XpSVm74EU_VbAySxo28gOf3np4g2Otif2oqrZMfSzqJTOlMCM-qzOkXSN3iDJthHKMJqcV5p6_5xyEL8$ > about resources that are included/excluded in the search scope. Does this appear to be accurate? Are there other resources you notice aren't being returned?
     *   Are NZ-activated resources returned by the Research Assistant?
  3.  What are the benefits of the tool?
  4.  What are the drawbacks of the tool?
  5.  Would you enable the tool in your production environment? Why or why not?

Additionally, during our last meeting, Matt raised the question "How do we want to use Primo VE Analytics data?" (apologies if I'm misquoting, but this was the general idea). I would encourage you all to spend some time thinking about that as we will continue discussing Analytics in October.

Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or anything else. And as you test the AI RA, feel free to email the list with insight/questions/etc. - they don't need to wait until October. And finally, if you have suggestions for our committee's table talk topic, please reach out to Andrew.

Kind regards,
Lindsey
