Sharing and Updates

15

Share any Discovery related information from other SILS groups

LG: Drafting the charge for the SILS Patron Privacy and Data Security Team (PPDS) and proposing members.

OT:

• Discussed Ex Libris support meeting.

  • In the support meeting we talked about the accessibility spreadsheet we had submitted and they seemed unsure how to respond. Jackie, Rachael, and Gem will be following-up on how best to move forward.

  • We also asked Ex Libris to provide more detailed release notes.

  • Got some clarification about the New Discovery Experience. Sounds like it’s a whole new UI that will replace Primo VE. There’s no timeline to force customers to move.

• Postmortem of the organization unit name change.

  • One thing to keep in mind for next time is when we noticed the Primo inconsistencies we created a Primo specific ticket and that seemed good as they had more concrete information than the Alma side of the ticket had and were able to refresh a cache that was preventing the change from showing.

  • Also discussed next NZ/IZ cross over project to have a dedicated liaison for both that could work together to do testing on each side.

All-Chairs:

• Has started thinking about membership transitions for the new fiscal year.

• Discussed the results of Tipasa (will not be able to implement this summer)

• Told chairs about the SILS github in case they weren’t aware already.

• The signature success program is on hold until renegotiation with Ex Libris has finished.

Accessibility update:

• Planning to meet April 5 to continue our internal accessibility conversations

• ELUNA is also planning to spin up a accessibility community of practice

Membership Transition FYI

• Jared will be chair next year!

• Please let Gem know if you plan to transition off this group

Electronic Collection Public Note

• Hiding ILL for journals?

• CDI

(Much of this discussion has been superseded by communication that has gone out since.)

• Primo 2024 enhancements

• Last year we gave all the UC consortia votes to 8970.

Discovery voted again to use all points for enhancement 8970.

Upcoming Meetings

Future Meetings:

• Discuss the accessibility spreadsheet results

  • If Ex Libris shared more of the actual changes they made, we wouldn’t be as surprised when our customizations are impacted.

  • UCB has someone who might be able to meet with our group to look at this more.

• Exclude eBooks from CDI Results

May 8 - Next Primo VE release meeting
