PPC approved a lot of decisions last week, see all-cohort email
UCSD still prepping training documents, extract files are due to our IC this week
UCB:
This note harks back to Hermine’s forwarded email from June 3 about orphans and bound-withs, that Stacy McKenna wrote about (concerns about generating unidentifiable orphans in the NZ). We were just wanting to make sure it wasn’t forgotten… This issue should definitely get enough attention that campuses, and particularly whatever CDL NZ manager, will be aware of it. It sounds like these "look like orphan bibs but are really 'related records'" should eventually be identified and have an NZ 9XX marker that advertises their status to all and allows these bibs to be excluded from batches of possible deletes.
Some suppressed items from Millennium were showing up in Alma. A subgroup worked on correcting them (I don’t know how many).
In progress is -- creating facets for our UC Library Search.
We reorganized our Alma training draft again, and shuffled people a bit. It’s been a struggle.
We’ll go live at noon[-ish, there are some “dependencies”] on July 27th, says our IC. It's asynchronous, she said, from other campuses.
There was a Berkeley SILS open forum yesterday, with no Resource Management section though. (Integrations, Fulfillment, Analytics, UC Library Search.). Not very many of the 90 attendees had questions.
Our first library-wide Alma session was today at noon.
