Slack Questions

5

From Sean: Hi all, does anyone understand what the "Allow Authentication for Customized List of Institutions - Consortia Only" feature from the August release does?

Sean reached out to Ex Libris and they didn’t really have much more information than what the release notes said.

Done: Gem will ask on consortial alma listserv

UX plan going forward

5

Confirm group feels this is the correct approach.

Current status:

• While it would be interesting, we don’t have the resources right now to do a comprehensive UX review.

• In addition, several of the UX problems UCSC identified are things we can’t customize on our own (would need to involve Ex Libris)

• UCLA is also finding it very difficult to implement desired changes.

• UCSC also have a local Primo VE/UX group and will keep surfacing issues as they find them.

• CDL: Peripherally related, we’re working with Ex Libris on discussing the WCAG Level A/AA issues

• UCB just started working on inclusive UX research also. Hoping to begin focus groups next year and have findings next spring/summer.

Handle UX requests individually as they came up. If necessary, create small teams to do initial research.

Strategizing of Primo VE enhancement requests

What priority should this have?

Added to the work plan (row 13)

Expanded initial scope to include reviewing other ways to advocate for UC needs. Set priority as high.

User Dashboard

10

Initial campus feedback. Determine next steps, if any.

OT feedback: Interest but also concerns. Questions are in the notes and includes things like ongoing maintenance. General oversight governance. Some campuses feeling burned by past integrations. Also accessibility questions. UCB developed the RLF tool which they’re still maintaining but are stuck with the maintenance for 10 years.

Discovery discussion:

No campuses or CDL are able to commit developers for the user dashboard project at this time. However, everyone is interested in the concept.

UCLA should do what makes the most sense for them, without additional development support from other campuses, but the Discovery group is interested in occasional updates.
