I am not sure I know, Abbie, what you mean by "overall". Availability of content within a collection is sometimes mixed. Should the field support multiple values? Or perhaps, if any portion of it is "open" the value should be "online"? There are also collections which are online, but restricted to use by members of a specific user community (e.g., a university), and yet not limited to a specific site.And then there are collections where online access is in part determined by the geographic location of the user. I'm sure there are other divisions, as well as the danger of splitting hairs. What again is the intended use of this field? If it is to help users find collections which they may access, then it may be best to be as inclusive as possible. If it is to aid in the process of selecting collections for other purposes, perhaps other values would be more useful. It would be nice to keep the list of values short and easy to understand. Public (open to the world) Restricted (restricted by location or affiliation) Dark (administrative/curatorial access only) Mixed Mixed - Mostly Public Mixed - Mostly Private Mixed - Mostly Dark "Mixed" could also be implied. That is, if the value is "Public", it would mean fully public or mostly public, by definition. The HathiTrust Rights table includes reasons. In the NDSA context, it may be that a collection is "dark" but only because resources are not available to provide public access, but if resources were available, it would be public. This might be important depending on how the field will be used. http://www.hathitrust.org/rights_database In summary, there are many possible variations, but I'm advocating for keeping it simple.
