OARMPT

10 minutes

Jackie

  • Document for review: SILS Open Access Resource Management Project Team

  • Jackie and Sarah met with representatives from OARMPT at last SILS OT SC meeting

    • addressed their questions and posed some of our own

      • discussed the following: SCP, community zone collections, future advocacy, ability to use existing groups instead of creating a new group to accomplish this work

    • See meeting notes for more details

    • Asked OT members if they have any questions or comments to add to the document

      • John presented several comments/suggestions during the meeting

        • 5 comments:

          • p.3 “advocate for enhancements …”

            • do we need to gatekeep ideas or just keep them as fyi?

            • Sarah - more of an area of guidance (use as workflow example)

          • p.3 “proposal for ongoing OA workflow strategy group”

            • can we make this a shared cataloging advisory role?

          • p.5 “currently no pathway for individual OA monographs to get cataloged in the NZ”

            • unappealing to evaluate at the local campus and then delegate the work to someone else

          • p.6 “submissions are evaluated by the SCP”

            • evaluation would have already happened at the campus level (“good enough for one campus, it’s good enough for all”)

          • p.8 delegating work to a separate group came up again

            • Sarah spoke about the idea of empowering local campuses to make decisions and then have that reviewed by the SCP after access had been established instead of waiting

    • OARMPT has begun work on the next report and have proposed a pilot (next year) to assess ongoing work

      • able to replicate issues as planned

    • Other testing:

Review/Update OT Workplan

  • Follow-up discussion on review/update to the OT Workplan from OT-SC meeting

16 minutes

Jackie/ Team

  • Thinking about reorganizing the OT Workplan document to prioritize items that are not complete

  • Known Issues document discussed

    • last update to this page was 2021

    • Questions posed by Jackie: should we continue to maintain it? archive it? create another page?

    • input requested from group

    • Gem expressed that given the usual ExL timeline, she usually forgets she has a know issue listed on the Known Issues page

    • Sarah asked about tracking use of the Known Issues page, who’s the audience (considering presence of super user accounts) - might be more of a question for larger campuses

    • this document is primarily for NZ tickets

    • for consideration (proposal by Jackie): create a table of NZ open tickets and have links to separate pages with more information

    • Gem has created her own spreadsheet of tickets from the current year and suggested something similar - will work on prototype of new path (quarterly basis?)

      • will update this group at a later date
