Local teams

Each campus will have a local “End User Outreach” team. While the SILS governance does not specify the charge of local teams, a charge may include the following:

  • To work with your campus library Communications and/or Web team to adapt/add to templates from the SILS-EUOS team for communications:

    • Customizing emails, social media, and marketing materials from existing copy and visual elements provided by the SILS-EUOS team

    • Customizing text to explain local situations (e.g. additional consortia like at UCSD, or additional discovery layers that your campus may be using)

    • Creating templates for your library leadership (e.g. UL) to present at Academic Senate meetings

    • Creating templates for internal communications to library staff (this should be done in conjunction with the Communications Operations leads)

  • Working with your campus library web team on adapting your library website to include new services in SILS

    • How Primo will be displayed as a search box on your library homepage (some of this will also depend on decisions by EUNS and Discovery)

    • Will your Primo landing page (not your library home page) have additional text? (This may be determined by Discovery also)

    • Adapting copy for loan rules, etc for web pages (this will happen after rules are established by Fulfillment and/or other functional group teams)

  • Working with your campus Reference/Teaching team(s) to adapt SILS templates for:

    • Libguides

    • LibAnswers

    • Teaching with Primo (may be in conjunction with Internal Training team) - may involve creating templates, videos, etc

  • Ensuring that language to MELVYL and older names for the catalog are replaced. Refer to this checklist of places where Melvyl and/or catalog names might appear.

Time frame for local teams: Probably January 2021 through December 2021? A lot of the work will be done right around go-live, with the exception of the communications piece.
