How we’ll communicate about go live (Com Leads)
Confluence dashboard for go live!
Ben and Adrian will consider it.
Discuss at next meeting 7/13
Would live on the home page at the top.
How would we let people know that this will be available? Add a one-liner to the current communication template
Discuss shared gov rollout (Com Leads and Danielle) - 7/20
Meeting on 7/22 to discuss. What makes the most sense to B & A is either a dedicated SILS News or possibly messaging from the ULs or ICs to all staff. Timing would be mid-August for messaging and mid-September for TH. More details next week.
Added post-meeting: wondering if we shouldn’t have a dedicated SILS News and an all-staff message to really get the word out.
Ben will add one liner to the current communication
Adrian will create the table and add it to the home page by 7/26 (removing the go live countdown widget)
PMs will fill out the dashboard

Go Live communications week of go-live
OP: Joint letter will come from President & Provost. Letter will be sent post-go-live. Method of sending TBD. We are asking for the widest channel (UC-wide email blast) but ultimately, it’s up to OP to decide how they’ll share the message. In progress. Meeting to discuss with OP, GW, BA and AP TBD
(Deadline?) Template for each UL to send to their own campus. Get input from EUOS and IT. Reiterate - ensuring staff know they won’t be experts in the new system on day one. Insert your local links to FAQ, Primo search, training docs and other important links.
create a version in the event go-live is delayed. Done!
7/27 Gunter & Chris: Thank you to the cohort - Day of go live. Recognize all the effort that went into getting us to go-live. Work continues but taking a moment to thank everyone.
Have a version that mentions one or more campuses delaying launch of Primo.
SILS News: 7/29 or 7/30 (or when all campuses are live) Congratulations! live with MVP - more decisions and work will be coming; and here’s what’s coming next. Reminder of UC-wide town hall on 8/2.

Com Leads will figure out a comms path with Stacy and Melanie when they meet today (assigning communicators, sharing templates, etc.)
Any updates to report?
ICs will be comm channel for the congrats/delay message. Have you gotten any questions from the ICs about the request to be comm channel for the congrats/delay message? Not yet.
We will need 2 versions of email templates to send to ULs: 1 if campuses go live as scheduled, 1 if they do not.
Ben will draft the letters by the end of this week for us to edit. Done!
Both versions going to ICs to give to the appropriate channel on their campus for distribution
Thank you to the cohort from SILS co-chairs via SILS-Cohort & SILS News on July 27. Ben will work on this when he returns from vacay.
Have a version that mentions one or more campuses delaying launch of Primo.
Ben expects to have this by EOD 7/21.
Congrats from Pres. is in discussion about the channel for communicating.
Ben, Adrian and Guenter are meeting with UCOP. Date/time TBD

“This month in SILS” PILOT
Start of the month talking points about SILS; release as a SILS News.
Workflow:
Last week of the month: Ask via SILS Chairs slack channel - what’s your “need to know” (for library staff) for this month to share in SILS News? If you were speaking at a TH, what’s the one thing your group would want to share.(OK if you don’t have anything). Share answer in SILS Chairs slack (meet people where they are.)
SILS PM talking points
EUOS news releases talking points
Com Leads refine it. Ready to go out on the first of the month as a SILS News.
Reminder at the SILS chairs meeting.

How to get the message out about this TH? If ICs are too busy, will need a colleague at each campus to send an all-staff slack/email about the TH
