Check-in / updates

Information sharing and problem-solving

5

All

RMFG: starting to really zero-in on what we’ll provide in terms of some MVP items (how many import profiles, rules, etc.); also learning more about how other consortia share authority work and finding out that no one we asked recommends using the built-in authority jobs in the NZ.

DCFG: Still working on harvesting more digital collections. Will be reaching out to Discovery and Archives & Special Collections EL (if they have bandwidth now; if not, it can wait until after go live) to help us evaluate and assess access and discovery issues.

Discovery: drafting decision pages for UC-eLinks rename, PrimoVE user interface branding, and boosting factor methodologies; continuing to explore WorldCat access options and whether or not to lead users to Worldcat.org or Basic WorldCat.

Fulfillment & ILL: drafting (Test and Go-Live) Format of Item Owner drop down at checkout (will share with Discovery) and updating decision pages for (Test and Go-Live) Strategy for Resource Sharing with WorldShare ILL (adding info about batch process to remove borrowing requests after they are received). Will be submitting request/questions to Ex-libris to special meeting on May 20th (currently on hold for us) about Document Delivery workflows).

PSELG: each member is reaching out to their campus for feedback on the question of concerns about implementing EasyActive or Fully Flexible. Discussion and feedback for ExL planned for early next week. Outreach to other consortia about implementation choice and their experience with their option is ongoing.

MVP

• FGs complete by April 28th, DONE!

• PPC members review on April 29th, DONE!

• PPC discusses on April 30th

What needs to be complete by 4/28:

1. Reassess timelines

2. Make sure all columns/rows are complete.

   1. If the column cannot be filled in, a brief explanation will suffice.

   2. If you are unsure of what to put in a given column, enter your best guess with a question mark.

   3. If any columns have the designation “TBD”, pls indicate what needs to be done.

3. Delete rows that are blank and fill in any that are place holders.

4. Resolve comments

5. Review your categories and ensure they are properly tagged e.g, a service is something your FG is providing (like loading OCLC records); a policy which is a decision. There could also be a hybrid situation where something is a service and a recommendation (policy).

6. Add links for any items that have a decision page

7. Look at all the items you’ve listed to see if they are actually something your group has to do or decide e.g., if a campus wants to request analytics, what is the process? The MVP should only be added to if your group has to either enable something or make a decision about it.

8. Move anything that is part of a checklist for testing to an internal document.

CDI (recurring)

Next steps

1. PMs will get Q2 answered. Done

2. PSELG will discuss and bring back to PPC Q’s 3 & 4

3. ExL would like to know exactly what our concerns are with EasyActive; what is the background on this? Why do UCs not want to be on EA?

   1. Once we have this information, PMs will open a SF case documenting all concerns and questions for ExL.

4. Other?
