Communications Tools for SILS | Medium | Keep aware of the UCL Collaborative Work Tools Report |
| Waiting on UCL Collaborative Work Tools report ST checked in with DOC Liaison to this project team: We are at a midpoint of our work, and should have a finalized “Phase I” report to offer that covers broadly the user requirements for collaborative works tools. This report aggregates responses from surveys and our focus group conversations. That will be shared with DOC for feedback. We are currently planning our remaining work; “phase II”. This will be a statement on recommended tools, and factors that would contribute to governance, support, cost and management. We have a working document underway for those parts of the charge, and we are determining how much input and in what form we require to address them. In all our work, per our charge, we are keeping in mind the mandate to support SILS with continuity and sustainability. |

| A plan on how to do this | SILS LG is not just a UC version of ELUNA, it’s governing a shared ILS, thinking about how we manage these processes for other uses and other technologies, Manage concerns on access to NZ, analytics, shared services, and RLF concerns. How do we encourage people to think systemwide--it's not only about local services anymore, we now have to be thinking about systemwide services. This may be a change management issue that we need to address systemwide. |
Analytics | Medium | Stay abreast of work being done by OT on producing 2022 annual stats for ARL, UCOP, & ACRL. Develop plan on how to keep this on ExLibris’ radar as a critical issue to UC

| This is, and likely will continue to be, an issue we need to address locally and review/systemwide. With significant problems currently, this should be on our continuing radar. |
