Decision priorities

Understand and agree on priority terms

10

Caitlin

Decisions will be marked with a priority that indicates when we need this by (well before go-live, before go-live, immediately after go-live, well after go-live) etc. ICs need to confirm that this list looks okay for now for use in triaging Decisions.

Neil placed some suggested priority values in some of the Decision pages.

  • Choose one:

    • Mandatory before Go-live

    • Useful before Go-live

    • Within one year after go-live

    • Post-live (1-5 years)

  • Greg: Patron Data chair: I almost had a coronary!!! because many items will be mandatory before Go-live, but need to be decided now!

  • Lynne: useful to know: People working at home want data cleanup work.

  • Alison, Susan: priority shouldn't equal a date

  • Carlo: a little confused, there’s a Priority field, and then a due date field

  • Alison: what if we took out the 'before golive', then it's just "MANDATORY"

  • Susan: Is the “due date” driven by contingencies?

  • Alison: I'm really not thrilled with the ties to 'golive'. it's a distraction from the meaning of priority

Bill: suggested the following for items even higher priority than the Mandatory above. suggests placing a number before the priority values so people know their relative importance and they’re easy to sort. Something like this:

  • 1 - Critical - project can not proceed until decision made

  • 2 - Urgent - some portion of project can not proceed until decision made

  • 3 - etc…

Alison: like Bill's "project MUST have X to go forward." Dates vs priorities vs dependencies

Needs:

  • What has to get done in order to go-live? And what doesn’t.

  • Designate a task as “fundamental” - i.e. has a lot of dependencies.

    • How many other decisions or tasks does this drive?

  • Difference between the importance and priorities (priority order).

  • Mandatory yes or no

    • then of the mandatory 1-2-3-4 priority

ICs don’t love the list as it’s written, need more discussion!

@Caitlin Nelson to take the priority terms back to PPC for more discussion.

Addressing Decisions

Plan and assign next steps for Decision pages

20

Chairs

What are the actual next steps for this issue: Will SRLF and NRLF records load with campuses or separately?

  1. Circle back to ILSDC to clarify the ramifications of cleanup / OCLC numbers issue.

    1. Is this right? not really -->

      1. Ask ExL about details of duplicate OCLC numbers, per source file or per IZ in total.

    2. Who does this? @Alison Ray (CDL)

    3. Deadline

      1. Alison May 8, 2020

      2. ExL: We need this info by May 12, 2020

  2. Confer with UCB about technical feasibility: can NRLF records be extracted separately from UCB?

    1. Is this right?

      1. Sort of - it’s about understanding the migration needs, so this isn’t that easy a question to answer quickly.

    2. Who does this? @Lynne E. Grigsby

    3. Deadline

  3. Confer with UCB about suitability: Even if it’s technically feasible to separate the records, what is the quality of the records and what happens if they are loaded separately re: “master” records?

    1. Is this right?

      1. The basic assumption of ILSDC seems to be that the NRLF record should be the master record. Not sure that’s the preference.

    2. Who does this? @Lynne E. Grigsby

    3. Deadline

  4. Ask ExL if each IZ has to go in w/itself. Could UCs mix & match files, eg. part of UCB, then part of UCSB, then rest of UCB….

    1. @Alison Ray (CDL) ask ExL May 8, 2020

  5. Ask ExL about the OCLC master record loading thing. (this is on the “Order of Network Zone Record Loading” decision page already…)

    1. @Caitlin Nelson ask this today May 7, 2020

 

@Alison Ray (CDL) Ask two ExL questions May 8, 2020
@Caitlin Nelson Ask one ExL question per NRLF/SRLF May 8, 2020

Questions for Alma/Primo campuses

Get some answers to the topics from the Slack poll

10

Chairs / other

Alison: 3rd party implementation form: Are we going to implement a DAMS, import DAMS records in Alma? Have any campuses brought digital asset records into Alma or Primo.

UCR/UCD/UCSC: We have not added items into Alma/Primo yet.

UCB: We have a lot of records in III that point to DAMS and we assume we’re migrating them.

UCSC: We implemented a new DAMS at the same time, so they just weren’t going to be ready, and we haven’t done it yet.

UCSC: It all comes down to time: it’s not about what’s allowed per se - it’s more about what you and your team can actually hookup and implement. In our situation we lost time to do integrations before go-live because of our accelerated schedule. You can get help with this later on.
