Office hours: cancel Office Hours if no questions are submitted. Questions for Office hours are due by end of day Monday. (Note: Test load questions should be asked on your Sales Force case, not at Office Hours.) At PM meeting on Tuesday afternoon, Marci will confirm whether questions for office hours were submitted. If no questions were submitted, PMs will cancel the office hours and announce it broadly on slack. Lena will cancel the meeting invite in Outlook. Primo VE links will be shared privately in your SalesForce case rather than posted on Basecamp so you can decide how broadly to share the link. Alma accounts estimate: Survey for ICs. Due Feb 19.

6	Managing named users and API use cases	Discuss. Note: These are two different issues. How do Alma campuses manage user accounts? How do non-Alma campuses manage user accounts? How many API calls are used now by each Alma campus? What are the API use cases? What guidelines do we need? From Ex Libris Documentation: ”Named Users are users that have at least one role allowing them to log in to Alma. This includes all users with a role other than Patron, Instructor, or Trial Participant. The number of Named Users for an Institution can be identified using the Staff Login Report (Configuration Menu > General > General Configuration > Staff Login Report). This can also be calculated in Alma Analytics by creating a report in the Users Subject Area and adding a filter for Role Type is not equal to / is not in: Patron; Instructor; Trial Participant”	30	Alma campuses
7	Other / Homework		0	Tom
8	Q&A (recurring)	Q&A during the IC meeting as a first stop before asking a question on Basecamp. If it’s time-sensitive, post to slack (IC channel, SILS Chairs are good options) Any issues that we want to seek broader input from other consortia?	?	Carlo
9	Questions for Ex Libris PM (recurring) Post questions in Basecamp as they come up. It’s open 24/7!	Note: We lose in efficiency and we may lose in translation when questions go through the PMs. When topics come up that should logically go to Basecamp to the Ex Libris consultants, invite an IC (or appropriate person) to take point on that issue.	0	Lena
10	Parking lot		0		Early February: Carlo suggested having a UC-led discussion on accounts with existing Alma campuses (assigning roles, etc.) at an IC meeting) - 90 minutes at least. Department heads should be invited. TBD: Buddy system (Adrian Petrisor, Com Leads) Timing: after spring workshops, if there’s interest
