Timeline review (recurring)

Reminder: Implementation Timeline on Confluence for staff without access to Basecamp.

Awareness of what’s happening / coming soon in the project

Christine

• Alma workshops are continuing. These are discussions and deeper dive into workflows. Attendees should have completed Alma Essentials training beforehand.

  • Suggestion: Review the MVP document to see the critical “day 1” systemwide priorities (the workflows/functions that must be in place at go-live) and review your local campus MVP document, if you have one.

• 3/25: UC-led special meeting - Fiscal Year-End Planning

• NEW! 4/22: Ex Libris special meeting on Fiscal Close Period. ExL expects to have your tech freeze dates in time for, or prior to, this meeting. Questions due 4/19.

• See Ex Libris meetings or Basecamp project meetings for other upcoming meeting topics

OCLC

• Alma presents a few ways to handle and store bibliographic information, especially for e-resources.

• As PPC and the functional groups look into these, one question we'd like to ask is: what is the functional purpose of OCLC numbers for your area?

CDI models

Awareness of the CDI models and understand next steps.

Fully Flexible v. Easy Active

1. All institutions in a consortium must use the same model

2. Fully Flexible - NOT recommended by Ex Libris because:

   1. New Alma campuses will need to do a lot of manual to "activate for search in CDI" for all the collections that have "activate for search in CDI" indicator.

   2. Existing live Alma-Primo campuses will need to continue updating "activate for search in CDI" collections manually.

   3. End users discover smaller set of content in CDI, including full text and A&I databases that are activated and ONLY those that are specifically activated for search in CDI.

3. Easy Active – RECOMMENDED by Ex Libris because:

   1. New Alma campuses will not need to do a lot of manual work to "activate for search in CDI" for all the collections that have "activate for search in CDI" indicator.

   2. Existing live Alma-Primo campuses that use Fully flexible when switching to Easy Active will not need to maintain/update whether to "activate for search in CDI" or not.

   3. End users can discover the entire index with the exception of those that require subscription to search.

Note: Ex Libris does not have a plan to completely phase out Fully Flexible. Their recommendation, however, is to implement Easy Active in the vast majority of cases due to the efficiency of this model.

Carlo Medina

• Reminder: The Request a consultant form is now available for you to request an Ex Libris consultant meet with your group at your group meeting. This was an outcome of Carlo, Tom, Lynne, Liz’s meeting with Ex Libris, and was discussed at the SILS Chairs meeting on 2/24. If your group is wrestling with a thorny issue and you need help from Ex Libris to understand the options in Alma/Primo, submit a request.
