What’s on deck? Anything we need to think ahead about?

  • Coordinate w/ the EUOS chairs on how to announce UC Library Search as the (hopefully) approved name.

    • EUOS is asking local coms folks to send a message by mid-Feb

    • SILS News & SILS Cohort from Com Leads - Monday

      • call it UC Library Search to patrons

      • will review comments during implementation

  • Invite RMFG to talk about their journey at SILS Chairs? This would be a great deep dive “success story” for SILS cohort or SILS news. Share the best practices RMFG used in communicating and decision-making for future SGTF. - March SILS News?

  • Coming together to share experience and ask questions: UC Alma/Primo Google group. SILS Cohort message. (SILS TH on Feb 16 and email on Feb 17 )

Com Leads

TH4All debrief

  • Reviewing key decisions or other “presentation” instead of doing Q&A -would this be more valuable?

  • Complex questions were asked by cohort members. These should be handled in the cohort version of Town Hall.

  • Best practice: Assign one person to each distinct role in answering questions.

  • Consider having questions submitted in advance. Or asking chairs for questions that would be of broad interest. Goal: get questions of broad interest and be prepared with good answers.

  • We noticed people left the TH during the Q&A period.

  • Observation: It takes about 2 meetings to prepare for the TH4all. Let’s put it on our Com Leads agenda 2 meetings before the TH to allow sufficient time.

  • Communications at the local level is an important compliment to the Townhalls. EUOS reps to ensure topics are covered locally.

Put THs on the Com Leads agenda 2 meetings before the TH
