Caitlin

  • Testing and assessment (IC, PPC, SSM, Com Leads)

  • Reporting out on lessons learned in the vanguard by vanguard campuses AND FGs – what format might this report back take? Meeting for each group? One big meeting “fair”? Alma campuses should take a lead.

    • Who is the audience?

      • ICs to inform how they make changes to the test load - technical, specific, needs to be documented

      • general cohort and staff - higher level overview

  •  Caitlin Nelsonto pull together a small group of stakeholders to discuss testing and assessment plan
  • Vanguard testing: how can we manage non-vanguard campuses wanting to test the vanguard instances?

    • What is it that people actually want to do, and what are the options for doing that?

    • Can we solicit use cases that would help us figure out best access levels?

  • Want to draft a feedback mechanism for the campuses to commit to high-level dates for migration

Integrations and communicating outside the library

Do we (PMs & Com Leads) have a role in this work (identified during risk assessment)

  • Integrations: Need a list of APIs from EL and get that information to campus; Reach out to IT/CIO to ensure our work is prioritized. Provide timelines and list of integrations; scope work with IT; assign a contact - the IC? Need 10-12 months notice to IT/CIOs; Alma uses a LOT of ports

  • Need to stay on top of external-to-libraries communication and bringing them along (Campus IT, fiscal, registrar, etc.)

10

Lena

  • Library IT directors have direct line of communication with CIOs at campuses. ICs communicate with their Library IT directors.

  • Adrian has access to the listserv of Library IT directors who can then share it with their CIO.

  • Campus central IT may not always be responsive. Shibboleth is the main integration campus IT will be involved in.

  • Library IT > central campus IT > CIO runs central campus IT.

  • Create an overview message that gives the timeline for when integrations will happen (what are the critical info. people need to know in advance)

  • Ask for Todd Grappone’s advice on how to communicate out: ICs, local campus groups, Library IT listserv?

  •  Lena Zentall (Unlicensed) to email and ask ICs what work has already been done in communicating project timeline to campus IT for integration work.
  •  Lena Zentall (Unlicensed) to ask for Todd Grappone’s advice on how to communicate out most effectively about integrations work: ICs, local campus groups, Library IT listserv?

All

  • Delay in toggling between screens - put everything into the presentation instead

  • Communicate in slack instead of chat

  • Put Intro slide up before the meeting starts so attendees know they are in the right place

  • Put questions we got in advance on a slide of the presentation

  • Send reminder to submit questions a week in advance AND a day in advance on Monday.

  • Add a topic of the month (ask chairs for topics)

  • Idea: This month I learned…(share revelations, light bulb moments)

  • Big issue is how do we encourage more Q&A?

    • suggested topics

    • ask chairs to submit one question per group

    • split into breakout rooms

      • use a broad question and randomly assign people or break out by interest

      • facilitated by a chair to ensure everyone gets a chance to speak

  • What is the purpose of the town hall? (look at original proposal)

    • (Adrian) We want people to break out of silos, and encourage cross-functional collegiality

      • If this is true, breaking rooms into topics based on their original silos would be antithetical.

Virtual town hall for UC staff?

Open up our Cohort town hall to anyone?

Replace DOC webinars with our own town hall series?

All

Tentatively plan to produce them about quarterly.

FOR JULY 23

What are you doing to reduce the load for your SILS group? Canceling meetings, opting not to do some work that is not strictly needed, forming more small subgroups?
