Analytics reporting

10 minutes

Sarah H, Tom

From Sarah H: a lot of questions at the CDL SILS Ops Center about analytics reporting and the OT and All Chairs has talked about this problem as well. It's a multi-pronged problem, but the end result is that it's likely we'll be unable to produce reliable, if any, stats out of Alma due to problems with our own data, data gaps, and significant software failures on the part of Alma (which ExL is absolutely aware of). Is this something we should discuss at the Leadership Group, potentially to escalate to DOC with a statement of the problem? And I'm seeing it ultimately making it to CoUL as well since improved analytics was one of the chief goals of the SILS project.

  • Discussion on concerns with analytics.

    • Timing on statistics and who is responsible to provide statistics and reporting.

  • Continue to have discussions on problems and issues with ExLibris on reporting, statistics, and analytics.

  • Support the staff through their concerns and fears.

  • Maybe escalate up to DOC or CoUL. Identify ways to find solution.

  • Sarah H. will reach out to others in CDL and others to find out more.

    • What do we do with ExLibris?

    • What do we do internally?

  • Does ExLibris have an analytics expert?

  • Are we all using the system the same way?

  • Suggestion on a one page report summary on problem and issues.

  • Tom to ask OT campus members questions on their experience in this area.

OT update

5-10 minutes

Tom Bustos

Question about “Past OT Chair” position on the Operations Team for this first term. It seems the intention would be to have someone there with historical / institutional knowledge of SILS Ops. Todd and I discussed the possibility, for this term, of having him join as needed. Operations Team Steering thinks it might be more effective to have Todd meet with that team to discuss best interactions to achieve the desired results.

  • Discussion on “Past OT Chair” role and purpose of this position.

    • What is the intention/ discussion on the “Past OT Chair” role and purpose of this position. 

  • OT Steering Committee to draw up a draft charge for SILS CDL Shared Collections in the Network Zone Project Team.

  • OT to invite the Past Chair to the next OT SC meeting to have further discussion.
