Decision Pages

 

 

 

Graphic Designer:

  • UCD has proposed Kimmy Hescock for the graphic designer role. What are our next steps?

    • Do we want to talk to Kimmy? Or do full interviews? etc.

    • We want to make sure they’re a good fit

    • We want to make sure that there’s a chance for all campuses to participate (as much as appropriate).

  • It’s important to bring in whoever we’re going to bring in earlier rather than later.

    • They will be creating a consistent message - which means we need to be consistent in our understanding.

  • “Branding” in this case means different things to other teams (i.e. Discovery)

    • We need to communicate to users what we call our services.

  • When we talk about “SILS” we’re talking about the project, but end user doesn’t care about that. We care about the persistent service: what are we going to call it?

    • They have a service that they conflate with ILL and looking for stuff outside of their local catalog: Melvyl.

    • Both a fulfillment service and discovery tool - if that tool is going away, we need to fill that gap.

  • What services will persist, and what are they called?

    • Questions from EUOS

    • Searching inside the UCs: Alma/Primo (in some format)

    • Searching outside the UCs: how do we do this if we’re getting rid of WorldCat

Website

  • Designed to be a canonical home for history of the project and announcements made.

    • Doesn’t function the way we want for faculty or patrons

  • How much control will we have over the section we’ve been given?

    • Whose page is this? Who do we ask?

    • Graphic / visual identity

    • What information will be shared? What is our end user actually going to see?

 

Melanie and Stacy will work on Job Description with Donald, then PDF it and get it to Donald for DOC distribution.
Stacy, Melanie, and Donald determine deadline for feedback & nominations from DOC
@Neil Weingarten Follow up on an email from SILS website to Melanie (try mramiro@ucr.edu address)
@Neil Weingarten to reach out to CDL about a test site for the website for playing / learning. Also asking - what is the extent our ability to edit the page?

Meeting with Donald

 

 

 

Donald wants to meet to discuss potential strategies around topics from the WG meeting.

NOTES from Monday:

  • Donald suggested a decision page for a brand identity for the resource sharing service / SILS going forward

    • e.g. Summit (OCA brand)

    • vs. UAlbany / SUNY example

  • Who has the authority to approve something like that?

    • Working Group but needs to go out as well

  • Who has the authority to start the recommendation?

    • EUOS

  • How do we know which services to include?

    • Another way to ask is: what is the scope of what needs “brand identity”?

  • What is the brand promise?

  • Is EUOS the right place for that work?
