    • Document for reference: CJK Doc

    • Timetable document for reference: Preferred CJK Configuration Dates

  • Other topics discussed:

    • reindexing exceptions could be due to temporary lack of that field when indexing the record

    • Ask ExL for clarity on this issue in the next ExL meeting - send in advance of the meeting?

      • Questions to ask:

        • What is the purpose of this (empty) exception report?

        • What action are we expected to take from this?

        • How would we correct or test these exceptions?

Tipasa

Talk through previous concerns (FYI for the group)

11 minutes

Jackie/Team

  • Replace VDX with Tipasa

    • Additional information: Resource Sharing

    • Tipasa testers are testing biweekly, no input required from OT at this time. Perhaps in October/November OT input will be solicited

    • Pressure has been growing from OCLC to accept an alternative to VDX (i.e. Tipasa)

      • things are moving forward (testing, communication, etc.), but schedule keeps moving and adjusting

      • suggestion for Allison to provide a public communication piece (“Tipasa tidbits” or during the Town Hall?)

 

@Caitlin Nelson to speak with Allison about a public communication piece on Tipasa
5

Data Forms Privacy

Get a confidence check from the OT group on privacy policy for these forms.

15 minutes

Caitlin

The data privacy form (which is a Google form) lives in the SILS Cohort folder, as do the responses, which contain personal names, etc. UCSB was curious about if there is a risk with this data being accessible to SILS Cohort members (though it’s fairly buried deep) .

  • Current path to the document: SILS Cohort > Operations Team > Phase 4 Handoff Docs > Implementation Coordinators > Data Privacy Agreement Forms > [campus forms]

  • Options to vote upon:

    • Option 1: Leave it as is

    • Option 2: Move these things to a new Google Drive with limited permissions.

    • Option 3: retire this document

    • concerns discussed:

      • concern about PII discussed (names, emails may be included in this - considered directory information instead)

      • confidentiality documents are already signed upon hiring - is this universal? also for students who have access?

        • Yes, universal for everyone who has an Alma account. Persistent form - applicable even if there is a break in service

      • data policy and privacy project team is currently working on issues along these lines - await their recommendations?

      • theoretically, filling out the form itself covers confidentiality issues

      • website submitted for clarification: https://security.berkeley.edu/data-classification-standard

  • OT will wait for data policy and privacy project team report to make a decision

 

6

Project Team Quarterly Reports

  • discuss quarterly reports from April

12 minutes

Jackie/Team

  • Documents to discuss (from April):

    • OARM

      • biggest topic: “We will likely propose the creation of a new, ongoing (as opposed to time-limited) group once our charge is complete, which would help manage the OA workflow once approved and/or implemented. Alternatively, we may recommend that some of the OA workflow be incorporated into existing SILS groups.”

      • Looking to have small groups, but adding more members means spreading the work around more and making it more manageable

    • EIMP

      • suggestion to handle the 1st half of the project in this team and proposing another project team to handle the 2nd half of the project

    • Questions discussed:

      • How can we continue to collaborate among these groups? People are interested in more of this.

      • How can SILS support non-SILS work?
