Chair

  • Reintros for the new folks!

  • Open up for questions / comments / update on groups.

  • TSELG had first meeting, and we are going to meet biweekly.

  • RM group met and meet weekly Tuesdays - is it okay to bring local concerns to this group before they’ve been brought to us before it goes to PPC → went with Yes. Will document on confluence space.

  • Xiaoli: when people bring up local concerns it makes sense to come through our group, but implementation it makes sense to have it go through local IC member.

  • Caitlin: The PMs are trying to find a way to intake info - maybe a “suggestion box”?

    • Josephine: I like that idea!

  • Claudia: What is the decision column for? vs. the Decision page?

    • Meeting notes one is for meeting type decisions; decision one is for bigger issues.

  • Discovery met: 3 very vocal people brought up long-standing concerns and set a few things to think about. Some campuses have little IT and no usability - they are hoping that is not the case this time. Is this coming from top down? No!

    • How much is “the same” but how much is tailored?

      • The most highly-used pieces should be highly consistent. But unique thing could be different.

Chair

  • Have people met / kicked-off already? Do you need any support to get going?

    • Everyone has kicked off!

  • How do agenda items get put on the list? Do we have a deadline, or prereads? (This may be more pertinent later as we get more work flowing)

Review TTT survey

 

5

Chair

  • What are other people doing with the results of the survey?

    • Plan to review at second meeting - mainly to see if there is anything the group wants to focus on, or particular issues we should address together.

    • Look at themes, and is there anything in here that’s actionable?

    • Expectation management: this won’t solve all our problems! But how to express that… Survey helps give insight into expectations.

  • PPC results:

    • Will our group become a bottleneck?

    • Some libraries already in Alma and some not; how to manage the knowledge gaps?

    • How can the chair take this feedback to use in the future?

PPC should review the Critical Issues (Phase 3) before their FG meetings.

“What is your vision for your Functional Area?”

Not immediately jumping to HOW - before we go there, we need to figure out what, why, and why now?

Criticality:

Do any of these issues resonate with this? https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Implementation_and_Migration/Migration_Guides_and_Tutorials/010Alma_Migration_Considerations_for_Consortia or this? https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Implementation_and_Migration/Migration_Guides_and_Tutorials/020Alma_Migration_%E2%80%93_Combining_Or_Separating_Source_Databases

Homework

 

 

 

Please continue going through the spreadsheet, and assign yourself those issues that are pertinent to your group. If you have questions - Slack.

Start bringing these issues to your group for discussion - add more? Take some off?

Talk to your group about your vision for your functional area.

 

@Xiaoli Li Send out an email to PPC about how to handle the “Critical SILS issues” - can you use those as a springboard for your vision for your area?
