Internal Training Subgroup:

ExL is offering three diff options for Primo VE wk-long workshop: May 17th, May 24th, or June 7th.  I advocate for May 17th.  Want to make sure that's good with all of you. See the proposed schedule.

PPC:

• PPC members will be giving a quick update on their functional groups' MVP at this Wed’s SILS Chairs Mtg

Questions that came up at last PPC Mtg; no definitive answers yet -

• Who owns the NZ?

Proposal for creating a Configurations Subgroup (made up of members across FG’s or IC’s)

Josephine

A few weeks ago at a SILS Chairs Mtg, someone suggested that there be a Configurations Subgroup. Discovery co-chairs met this week and agreed such a subgroup would be beneficial. Josephine drafted this proposal per the PMs' request - 

PROPOSAL:   Create a Configurations Subgroup

DESIRED OUTCOME:

Have one group make sure configurations are being done correctly and consistently

WHY:

• An effective method to check configurations that especially will affect harmonization

• To keep an eye on how configurations made by one group can affect the work of other groups

• A good way to create quality control of configuration tasks

• What is discussed and documented can provide future training materials for Internal Training Subgroup to incorporate into a training infohub

WHY NOW:

• In anticipation that initial configurations will be adjusted during test phase, a designated subgroup taking an overarching view of configuration can improve workflow of all FGs from test load and cutover.

• Ensure that no other groups are negatively impacted by a config decision and provides one space where areas of standardization can be identified.

• Whatever is learned now could be folded into training

PM’s will discuss the idea to create a Configurations Subgroup at an upcoming PPC-IC Mtg to determine if such a group is needed; if so, who would be members

Acquisitions & E-Resources FG (AEFG)'s CDI/Primo VE Search Feedback for Discovery FG

Reference:

Ellen’s CDI & EasyActive & Filter by Availability document

Reply from Lisa Spagnolo (AEFG Co-chair): “ I think the test environment will be a good opportunity to surface any issues that may arise. There are some concerns that EasyActive will put those campuses who might need more clean-up of their e-inventory more at a disadvantage – that may be an area of some support to make it less of an issue. “
