Team
Catherine (UCSB) has been part of the Alma cleanup UCSB migration stuff, and part of SILS Phase 3 and now chairing ILSDC. Co-chairing internal training work.
Marti (UCSB) really swamped and have a lot of concerns about dedicating time to SILS.
ILS Data Cleanup (ILSDC):
Work is here on Google drive folder, including a spreadsheet of prioritized and triaged work. First deliverable is what will need to be done by all the campuses prior to migration.
CB: what we need - we have documentation from ExL on the various system needs. What’s being harmonized and where - do we need to do anything pre-migration to deal with that, or will it be done after migration?
How will we know that? What’s the starting point?
Do see this group as an operational group, not decision-making.
Local campuses are making decisions - we are an advisory group for that.
Carlo: I think a challenge both groups face is that since the campuses are coming from disparate ILSs and have used the various fields (whether it’s MARC or patron) differently so part is decision making, part is coordination, and harmonize where they can. Just initial thoughts
Patron Data:
This got spun off from ILSDC because of specific data needs.
How to get that work started: can they take the work of the ILSDC as a sample starting place?
Lot of this data is coming from a third party - it’s an integration issue. What data are you getting from outside the ILS is crucial too.
Strategic Approach:
Caitlin: there are two positions that have been articulated so far:
Get as much metadata cleanup done now as you can. Take advantage of Ex Libris help
Defer metadata cleanup until Alma is in because it has much better tools for this
Caitlin: this has evolved to be a determination that is made campus by campus
Principles:
Make some default decisions like “we’re only going to do the minimum now” or
Prioritize data loss now
Each campus can make a decision about what to tackle
