  • Strategically placed Reminder for Elizabeth to record Meeting

RLF Meeting with ExLibris

I’ll be asking the ICs to set up a meeting in 2-3 weeks with members of our group and reps from the RLFs to discuss their setup in the fulfillment network.

  • Let’s figure out who should attend and plan to prepare a document for ExLibris that includes how we currently interact with the RLFs, and the setup we’d ideally like to retain.

 

 

All + Cathy Martyniak (SRLF) and Lynne Grigsby (UCB)

There has been mention of remote storage in the training materials but that might not be the best fit for our use case.

The RLFs may be need to configured so that they are included in the IZ for some campuses. It might be that they “look” like a library at UCLA or Berkeley.

A meeting with Ex Libris to discuss the RLFs might need to go beyond Fulfillment to include Discovery and Resource Management.

It might be that a first meeting with Ex Libris would be to explain what the RLFs are and how they function. With the possibility for subsequent meetings for specific FGs or groups of FGs.

The limitations of Ex Libris may mean that some previous workflows are no longer possible.

VDX will be retained for ILL past go-live for ILL outside of the FZ.

Questions include:

  • How do we set up ROTAs to select RLFs first?

  • How will electronic fulfillment work (DDS) work with the RLFs moving forward?

  • What happens if a campus retains a local record for an item in an RLF?

 

 

Elizabeth will work with Caitlin to set up a meeting to discuss RLFs with Ex Libris.

Configuration Meeting Debrief

Check-in after meeting before ours to see if there’s anything new we need to be aware of as we do the configuration work in August

 

All

There is a Decision Page highlighting what sections individual campuses should hold off on filling out in order to harmonize.

It appears that the Fulfillment tab on the configuration form is to be filled out individually.

The group would like to proceed with some harmonization. This may take place once the vanguard is int he testing phase.

Testing in the Vanguard Environment

 

 

 

Vanguard and non-guard FGs will both get appropriate access to test in the vanguard.

This is the URL to the Vanguard testing scenarios draft ILSDC has been working on: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dFi7lbwbrXzYd4rr_rlvKcQCT0LRGKw7EzzxcuEgBeE/edit?usp=sharing

  • These are a huge number of checklist items to go over!

  • Not everything will apply to each campus, and does not need to be filled in if it doesn’t apply

  • Initially they looked at the harmonization and data cleanup that was made, but that was almost too detailed from ILSDC side of things, especially where there were options.

  • ILSDC: “did the data come over the way you expected it to?” then FGs “okay and does that work for us?”

  • These recommendations are for each campus to take back and do as a checklist.

  • ILSDC will mostly be done with this doc by Aug 7th

  • FGs could also add some tabs to this doc - with the idea that local campus testers will do this work.

 

FG deliverable: List of accounts and roles / permissions needed.
  • Permissions: please make sure that the roles that you request have all the same permissions so that we don’t bump up against permissions problems in testing.

Harmonization work

Continue our discussion from last week and come up with loan periods to propose for fulfillment network/locally https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-W2psaW6GsgOTD1ByTHRF00bikcnVR6W/edit#gid=1939968629

There are some questions around what other things this group might add to the parking lot. Expiration dates and whatnot.

Members can add to the parking lot issues that they feel need to be considered or tracked.

DDS Decision Page (Go-Live) Document Delivery Service (DDS) Setup

UCI DDS Demo with Fulfillment and ILL FG Aug 13th meeting

 

 

Feedback received on this:

An additional operation factor may be needed. (Item type)

There needs to be a smooth way to transfer a DDS request into a Borrowing ILL Request when necessary.
