From Feb 4, 2013 Meeting Notes
4. Microfiche update
Bianca summarized the CC’s recommendation to ingest microform content if it was the only available copy of an appropriate item, but to ask Mike to make them less prominent in search results by giving them less “weight.” Trish reported that Mike searched for microfilm/fiche terms and found 2,152 items. Since they seemed to all come from Canadiana.org he then search for all hits from that source. The result was 2,226 items. His solution was to rank the Canadiana.org titles lower in the search results and it seems to be working. One caveat was mentioned – the function is not active during the daily maintenance run each night at midnight (CST?). Everyone agreed that this seemed like a good solution. Test search "Canada fish" to see how the new weighting is working.
