| 3 | Timeline review Post questions in Basecamp as they come up. It’s open 24/7! PM week-by-week timeline with testing, data cleanup | Stay up to date on timeline / deadlines: Basecamp To-Dos and share “good to know’s” If you feel comfortable with approving the Test Load Activities and Schedule today, great. If not, you may request additional time. See the Timeline Feedback Plan for a reminder of the process. FYI. ICs approved a draft version of the same timeline (less detailed) during the IC meeting on 8/20/20. | 20 | Lena | Approval needed from ICs: UCS Implementation: Test Load Activities and Schedule Note The Alma environment delivery date is now Feb 19 (was February 5) based on experience in the vanguard. Note "Review Relevant Documentation" section was added. It contains links to migration documents. Note A task was added for Laurie to create MFT shares and campuses to confirm access in November. Note One task was added “Retain local extensions” Due Dec 11. UCLA: Fill out "Specify bib tags which will be marked as local, for Alma consortial environments" row on Voyager Migration Form Questionnaire tab. Millennium, WMS and Alma campuses: Append field $LOCAL to relevant tags in the bib files. NOTE: Local extensions must be added prior to you extracting your data.
As soon as this is approved, Marci will move it out of the PM planning Basecamp to the project Basecamp. Reminder: Several slots are open for special meetings with Ex Libris. Questions should be posted 2 weeks ahead for special meetings and EOD Monday for Thursday standard office hours. Svetlana posted a collaborative networks document on Basecamp – any questions there? Ex Libris meetings upcoming (all will be recorded): CDL SCP Workflow on Oct 1 (demo how SCP records will be loaded). Questions were due 9/18. Oct 2-9 Alma workshops (Invites were sent to the SILS-Cohort listserv. Let Neil Weingarten know if you did not receive them.) Vanguard Analytics demo on Oct 12 (Connie Braun, trainer will provide a brief analytics overview for both an IZ and the NZ; 90 minutes, 1-2:30) Nov 2: Lessons Learned at weekly project update (ICs + Ex Libris)
Implementation phase Ex Libris meetings upcoming: Nov 5: Kickoff Full Implementation Nov 6-20 Migration meetings (TBD) Note: No other Thursday special meetings will be held those weeks as a result. ICs should create the Zoom meeting and invite Marci. Marci will share with Ex Libris staff. (*Lena will create Zoom for Alma campuses, eResources, and CDL.)

| 4 | Vanguard testing Vanguard testing decision page (includes links to all other resources) Data security acknowledgment google form is in the Data Security IC folder on gdrive. Spreadsheet of vanguard guest account requests | Round-robin with vanguard campuses: Share progress on local implementation testing; anything you want to share with the group? anything the group can help you with? | 15 | Tom | On account creation: Training may get more customization/configuration or more sophisticated questions (i.e., not essentials) in this second round of Alma training. How many campuses (people) will participate in this next round in the fall/winter? To create accounts, IC should work with each other (IC to IC) to coordinate names and roles. FG chair should request accounts. Fulfillment is the largest affected group. Having trouble testing without uniform access/permissions. They would like accounts on all vanguard instances to test resource sharing. Jeremy has tested some of the integrations and they are fine; shouldn’t be too bad during test load. Ensure the data security form is filled out before granting accounts. Who does this? FG chairs. Each FG chair should specify the roles for each account and ensure the data security form is done. How will the FG chair communicate that accounts are being requested on the sheet? Needs to be a conversation between IC and FG chairs to confirm roles. If each group wants the same roles, would that make it easier? Could the FG chairs decide on the role profile?
How’s it going? Overall, well. No major gotchas. | Tom will post to the SILS chairs channel: Just a reminder, to specify the roles for the Vanguard accounts needed and have the tester fill out the data security form for access. Then contact the Vanguard ICs via email for communication of the roles needed. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TdOXbR7E13UUZPWsx2NYkfP-jCkNq3TDgsmxZQYOKQo/edit#gid=0 | |
