Neil won’t be able to PM this group anymore, Caitlin is stepping in, but out at the Winter Break. How do we want to approach roles / work / do we need a new PM?

Need a PM to fill the liaison role between the broader project and our group’s work. It’s possible for co-chairs to do ExL meetings as needed, but don’t really want to. Bigger concern is not knowing what the other groups are doing.

Co-chairs can do agenda-building and visioning.

Questions from Previous Meeting:

• Schedules for Analytics and Primo workshops are available in the “Spring Workshops” folder in drive. Ex Libris generally recommends these happen after go live.

• Additional 2 training block dates - These dates won’t be blocked off until we decide if we want to use them.

Alma Certification Updates:

• GDrive with spreadsheet and update email

• “get Davis IT rep to reach out to Lisa S. and Xiaoli to find out if either are Alma certified and if so, could they provide either their congratulatory email or the certification of completion. Also UCSB etc.”

This week’s meeting: 2020-11-06 IT Meeting Notes

• Alma Certification: ExL is tracking and we can stop; we’ll get monthly reports, and we’ll let them know if their campus needs a person.

  • Each rep should look at the list and do detective work about making sure the list is aligned with expectations.

• Spring Workshops:

  • Announce dates for the 5 new campuses

  • Share Primo and Analytics agendas

• (Non urgent) Spring workshops: breaking out 5 current Alma campuses:

  • Need discussion about methodology.

  • Could be by size, length of time on Alma, by Primo VE

• More urgent: Decide whether we want the Primo VE and Analytics trainings and get those on the books.

• Rotate facilitation and note-taking: Katie, Brian, Dominique

  • More prep work items should be assigned ahead of time.

  • Katie to make agenda from the two we have.

  • Whoever is not facilitating should take notes.

Parking Lot

•  

• What to do about future “one off” trainings like Primo Certification or Fullfillment network, etc?
