“This month in SILS” PILOT

Start of the month talking points about SILS; release as a SILS News.

Workflow:

• Last week of the month: Ask via SILS Chairs slack channel - what’s your “need to know” (for library staff) for this month to share in SILS News? If you were speaking at a TH, what’s the one thing your group would want to share.(OK if you don’t have anything). Share answer in SILS Chairs slack (meet people where they are.)

  • SILS PM talking points

  • EUOS news releases talking points

• Com Leads refine it. Ready to go out on the first of the month as a SILS News.

• Reminder at the SILS chairs meeting.

Alma/Primo Bug Documentatuion

Determine ownership

TBD

Ben, Adrian, EUOS, Caitlin?

In response to the escalation path doc that went to DOC and CoUL last week, Stacy Brinkman called out that it references the UCLS FAQ as a source for info on known bugs or product limitations, and asked to be looped in.

Adrian’s Slack response: “You mention something that I actually wanted to put on the agenda for our next monthly meeting: the FAQ will probably have to include links to a variety of external resources, among them  a living document (which may get stuff added and deleted from it every day in the period immediately following July 27) with all the currently  known (on any given day) bugs and limitations of UC Library Search, and which  will probably be maintained by Caitlin or someone else in her team. Of course, there’s plenty of time to figure that process out because it will be only relevant after go-live. Personally I don’t think that EOUS has to be responsible for keeping that list up-to-date, because it will need to be kept current for many months after go live, and CDL’s team will probably be in the best position to compile all the relevant data from ExLibris and the 10 campuses.”

Editorial calendar (recurring)

Ben, Adrian

Article to SILS cohort/SILS News: Recognize how far we’ve come - the decisions we’ve made. Working together has made us even stronger -- even the Alma campuses. So much expertise in the cohort (existing Almas and more) and it has really helped. Possible approaches for an article:

• (silly note) We were anxious in the “Harmonization is coming” early days in phase 3, then we laughed in phase 4 (Greg’s videos) - see how far we’ve come.

• (more serious note) Describe outcomes of the decisions -- why this really matters.

• Ben added talking points for co-chairs to the May SILS TH (Done!)

• In progress: Patron complaint escalation process message (Adrian). Next steps: draft the escalation template email to DOC to share with their library staff.

  • enough changing to send to all campuses (not just the new-to-Alma campuses)

Parking Lot

• [Talk about in June] Who will manage go-live announcements? What have other consortia done to share go-live announcements? (is this EUOS work or project work?) We will need to set expectations around the time of go-live (morning, noon, later? ICs are discussing)

• Consider: Celebrations/Melvyl retirement: At Aug 2 TH, put a “Melvyl retirement party” section with Q&A with Melvyl creators or quotes on slides. Recognize everyone who was part of Melvyl over the years. Fun interactive poll? Virtual online card you can contribute to.
