Objective: State the purpose of the group in 25 words or less (brief, energizing). 

Establish channels and patterns of communications across SILS teams, as well as between these teams and external (UC Library) stakeholders. Will coordinate and collaborate with the wider SILS Operation Leads Team.


Roles: What are the duties needed to get the work done? Who will take notes? Who will keep meetings on track/time? Who is responsible for tracking actions?

Notetaker: Alternating
Timekeeper: Need is Negligible
Agendas: @Ben Alkaly (Unlicensed) builds, @Adrian Petrisor adds agenda items as needed


What are our expectations for working together? Create a list of statements that the team agrees to uphold. For example, ask yourself: How do we make this group a safe space for transparent discussion (knowing that it might become contentious, and avoid back-channeling)? What are our ground rules for meetings? How do we ensure everyone is engaged? How do we ensure everyone has a voice? How will we resolve disagreements?

  • Transparency

  • No back-channeling with other groups; address directly amongst each other

  • Request clarity in real-time via Slack

The SILS mission is to transform library services and operations through innovation and collaboration. The future is shared!
