Checkin/quick updates/anything from slack or email

• Don’t forget to check the Task report for your outstanding tasks and check them off when done.

• Finalize whether to keep link sharing on? Benefits? Risks? When does email go out? HOLD UNTIL RESPONSE FROM PETER.

• Idea: Ask for TH presenters to confirm their appointed time still works for them as part of the 2 week checkin. Is more advance notice needed?

• Understand if recurring Zoom meetings that are password-protected have a shelf-life of 3 months.

• Is there any way to make the UC Libraries SILS P4 landing page default to show the left-hand sidebar? If not, can we link some of those files in the sidebar to the main home page.

• Using the SILS Kudos slack channel

Feedback from SILS Chairs on communicating and managing expectations

Discuss idea to keep building on FAQs to support cohort members so they have easy talking points when questions arise.

Create an email template for general responses or does this fall under the FAQ? “I understand you are anxious. These decisions have not been made yet. The answers will come and we will share them when we have them. We have a well designed process. Answering individual questions is not productive.”

You are empowered to be a leader for the project and communicate back. Provide the tools and authority for cohort members to answer these questions - email template, FAQ, etc.

“Cheat sheet” on Confluence for where to go to learn what’s happening in the project: talk to your local group/imp team, talk to co-chairs of a group, website, Confluence (meeting notes, decision pages).

SILS Town Hall meeting (recurring)

3rd Tuesdays

0

Com Leads

• Chairs talking points

• Finalize slide deck

• Are there any questions in the queue?

• Thinking about post-migration training needs -- ongoing Alma training after the big hump of getting everyone on the same page initially-- is there any mechanism planned for having systemwide training? For instance, Alma introduces regular updates to UX and functionality (new Metadata Editor, new areas available in Analytics, etc). Are there any plans to have those ongoing training issues dealt with at a systemwide level? Or keep them on the individual campuses?

To-Dos

• When to send agenda? (Friday, Oct. 30) - No need.

• Chairs talking points by Monday (look at earlier talking points to see what should be included in this FIRST townhall)

• Talk about major topics that could come up and who should answer them at the next Com Leads meeting on Oct 27.

• Scope types of questions and include a slide explaining (briefly) how they will be handled, e.g., some questions apply to local imp teams, reach out to your IC in that case.
