Check-in / updates

Information sharing and problem-solving

All

RMFG: made an update to this page: (Go-live) Local bibliographic data (5XX-9XX) to allow non-local 936 data to stay in records so long as campuses are sure nothing local is there; almost finalized as far as OCLC, MARCEdit and MDE best practices

DCFG: Rachel and I will be presenting on the FG’s work at the 5/18 Town Hall. Other than that, we’re still working on some of our documentation (decision tree + companion doc).

AEFG: Continued work on our decision pages/MVP items from previous weeks. We discovered that the new 4th & 5th reporting codes in Alma orders will not be indexed in Analytics until the June release, so we will test this functionality then.
New work on MVP 006 (updating base URLs for Alma link resolver) and MVP 008 (reporting broken links to CDL for items in the NZ)
Decision pages for these have been drafted.
We are discussing the transition for already-Alma campuses to EasyActive, which needs to happen before cutover.

Fulfillment and ILL: Voted to approve this decision (Go-Live and Post go-live) Alma/VDX Workflows . Prepping for our digitization meeting w/ Ex-Libris will take place on the 27th during the office hours times. Working on this decision page (Test and Go-Live) Format of Item Owner drop down at checkout

Decisions

Discuss and approve proposed decisions

1. (Go-live and beyond) Naming conventions for shared rules, import profiles, and sets in the NZ

   1. Naming conventions for any rules, import profiles, templates or sets added to the NZ should use standardized naming conventions: ‘allUC’ for items that are used across the system or the campus initials (e.g. UCLA, UCSB) if the item is in the NZ and specific to a campus
