|  |  | How will you (the Transition Task Force) know if you are successful? Teams have what they need to get started and can hit the ground running. Each group has the information and data collected by their predecessor group and the handoff is smooth. Group makeup has the knowledge and diversity of experience to accomplish their charge. An agenda that the group is excited about – moving onto new and exciting things together. We are done by February ! (Michelle’s bday is Feb 1) Communication between groups is happening and they are clear about how the gov structure works and who to go to for questions. All important work gets assigned and nothing gets lost in translation; no balls dropped.
What are you most excited about? Getting to know UC colleagues and how we can work together and help each other. Moving away from a project to an ongoing service and having it supported as an ongoing service. Staff feel ownership of SILS. Having a successful last phase! New and different people; fresh eyes.
What worries you? Statistics are not all automated and you can’t get everything. Could be disappointed. Bandwidth limitations and software limitations. Alma and CDI are complex. Many differences in practices and rethinking needed in how we treat data. No PM support; groups will need to take on more work. Willingness to be participatory and take on work will be needed from group members. Loss of momentum. Ex Libris will no longer be as attentive as they were in implementation phase. No obvious and clear deliverables such as RFP, implementation; how success will be measured is not as obvious. What are the markers we’ll use? Trusting the loose threads from phase 4 get handed off by SOT and nothing falls through the cracks. Loosing expertise in existing groups. Ex Libris' sale to Clarivate. Will this have any negative impacts?
What do you want to get out of this experience? Sense of satisfaction handing off to the new ongoing structure +1 Campus library staff having confidence in the new structure Staff will feel like the project is concluded and it’s now a real, ongoing service. Making connections between different areas of work; getting to know the UC system; ensure UC sees the resources beyond UC - many consortia are on Alma/Primo.
