2020-07-31 PPC Meeting notes

Check-in / updates

2:30-2:55pm (25 mins)

All

• The decision for loading SCP/SFX data has been revised after several meetings with ExL. Shifts the focus on looking for what data is missing and providing it, rather than cleaning up the data/duplicates which would be overwhelming.

• RMFG will be looking at forming a small subgroup to talk about local authorities and also looking at testing OCLC update service during the Vanguard.

• DCFG: We’ve finished our environmental scan. Now we’re starting to assess how other universities are using Primo to make digital collections discoverable; also starting to investigate impact/opportunities in SILS for HathiTrust

• Fulfillment: will meet with Cathy and Lynne (from the RLF SILS Planning Group, co-chairs) to discuss RLFs with Ex Libris, particularly ensuring the rota reflects our preference for RLFs first in our test fulfillment network. Elizabeth will summarize what we desire to provide to Ex Libris. Requests such as this should go through the PM group to coordinate with Ex Libris PM.

• AcqERM: Started 3 subgroups to follow up on our related configuration form items; continuing our testing discussion.

• Caitlin was asked by GOBI for a meeting to describe their services; this will now be passed off to TSELG.

• Danelle thanked Caitlin for visiting ASCELG and describing the governance structure and how their group fits in and how decisions flow through the structure. Lots of concerns around cataloging or discovery in ASCELG. Danelle asked if Liz (RM) and Josephine (Discovery) would speak to ASCELG about what’s happening to address archives and special collections in their groups.

Configuration Form work

Understand and document which lines in the config form are “under consideration”

2:55-3:00 (5 min)

Caitlin

FGs should document their work, status, recommendations here: Vanguard Configuration Form

Audience: local campus group or IC who is filling out the config form.

Do you only want line items under considerations or should we put everything? Put everything.

New row for each item? Yes. Repeat the tab name for each row.

Mostly Liz, Lisa and Elizabeth’s are the relevant groups who will be doing this work.

Finish vanguard configuration form “holds” by August 7

• Vanguard and non-guard FGs will both get appropriate access to test in the vanguard.

• FYI there’s a working group subgroup working on data privacy, both of patron data and acquisitions/purchasing data that might influence how we distribute accounts and how we do testing.

• CARLI Alma Data Migration Review Procedures page contains testing scripts and test load reports: Data Migration Review worksheets, Testing Fulfillment Data Migration to Alma, Testing Resource Management Data Migration to Alma,
  Testing Acquisitions Data Migration to Alma

• This is the URL to the Vanguard testing scenarios draft ILSDC has been working on: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dFi7lbwbrXzYd4rr_rlvKcQCT0LRGKw7EzzxcuEgBeE/edit?usp=sharing

Decision pages: Taxonomy for tagging groups in Confluence and more

Introduce taxonomy and best practices documents. Ask PPC to edit as needed.

Actions from 7/14 SILS Chairs meeting:

1. PMs to consider working with chairs on a best practices page for decisions.

2. PMs to investigate Question: will the decision status get updated automatically in rollups and will you get notified?

3. PMs to work with PPC to investigate how we could make an authoritative set of tags (labels) for each group, and create decision rollups for each group to monitor decisions where they are consulted. (see Josephine’s example rollup and labels). Consider using names from abbreviation glossary. (Do groups want PMs to do this for them?)

4. (from premortem) Groups should use a stakeholder inventory to ensure all voices are heard in decision-making. 

5. Add “Assessment” to Decision pages.

3:40-3:50 (10 mins)

Lena, All

Taxonomy: Group agreed it would be a good idea to have a canonical list of acronyms / tags.

• Perhaps once this is approved, we can add the canonical acronym to our Confluence home page, e.g., Policy and Practice Coordinators (PPC)?

• Change to taxonomy to a Confluence page once approved

Best Practices: group can take a look this week and suggest changes to the best practices by next meeting.

• Change to confluence page once approved.

Rollups: Once we tag the people who are being consulted - do you want the PMs to create one for everyone? To be determined later.

• PPC members to review the Taxonomy for tagging groups in Confluence and best practices page for decisions by Aug 7 PPC meeting. Edit taxonomy for your group’s name as desired.
