Caitlin

• Vanguard testing: how can we manage non-vanguard campuses wanting to test the vanguard instances?

  • What is it that people actually want to do, and what are the options for doing that?

  • Can we solicit use cases that would help us figure out best access levels?

• Want to draft a feedback mechanism for the campuses to commit to high-level dates for migration

Integrations and communicating outside the library

Do we (PMs & Com Leads) have a role in this work (identified during risk assessment)

• Integrations: Need a list of APIs from EL and get that information to campus; Reach out to IT/CIO to ensure our work is prioritized. Provide timelines and list of integrations; scope work with IT; assign a contact - the IC? Need 10-12 months notice to IT/CIOs; Alma uses a LOT of ports

• Need to stay on top of external-to-libraries communication and bringing them along (Campus IT, fiscal, registrar, etc.)

10

Lena

• Library IT directors have direct line of communication with CIOs at campuses. ICs communicate with their Library IT directors.

• Adrian has access to the listserv of Library IT directors who can then share it with their CIO.

• Campus central IT may not always be responsive. Shibboleth is the main integration campus IT will be involved in.

• Library IT > central campus IT > CIO runs central campus IT.

• Create an overview message that gives the timeline for when integrations will happen (what are the critical info. people need to know in advance)

• Ask for Todd Grappone’s advice on how to communicate out: ICs, local campus groups, Library IT listserv?
