Christina, Mike and I would like 10-15 mins to discuss upcoming Confluence changes at the next meeting. We want to focus on the standardization of the committee spaces and get feedback from the Chairs so we know what tweaks might be needed before moving ahead.

Importing Record sets to Network Zone

We have a request to add a set of data set records (ICPSR - Social Sci related) to Primo. This would happen via OAI-PMH and pipe. Since this is the first request to add a set of records to Primo that isn’t available through “normal” means (record import or knowledge base), it would be good to take the group’s temperature on what needs to be examined or discussed prior. Also worth discussing who needs to be involved in vetting such requests (EAR? ERM? Discovery?) when they come in.

COLD Prep

John Wenzler

How should I use my time at COLD to get the best guidance for the ULMS Steering Committee? I am thinking about asking for time in December to talk about CSU+ Expansion and then asking for time in a Spring meeting for a broader strategic discussion.

Anything that needs to be highlighted

Analytics & Assessment

• SUSHI usage survey closed Friday. Proceeding to analyze results.

• ULMS Survey for Analytics & Assessment submitted. Issues noted were:

  • Scalability - particularly in NZ

  • Data availability - Not all data is exposed through ETL. Tighter integration between the way data is organized and presented in Alma and reported on in Analytics is desired.
    

  • Primo Analytics - An underdeveloped product (Google Analytics is the standard). There is doubt about the reliability of current reports.
    

  • Course reserves - Available reports are unsatisfactory.
    

• Completing initial review of the centrally shared vendors’ COUNTER 5 compliance/transition date documentation. This draft will help reference important information once ALMA can handle COUNTER 5.

• Mapping workflows for staff and ERM/Systems Librarians that want to implement SUSHI at this time.

Fulfillment

· We will be having our Open Forum this Thursday discussing Letters/Notices, Purging Users and new release highlights. We had an open forum last week with Fulfillment folks to discuss our general feelings about Alma/Primo and Ex Libris support. The discussion points were used to fill out the Chair Survey that was sent in on Friday, 11/1.

· Course Reserves interviews are coming close to an end, with a few coordinators left to speak with. The resulting notes will be shared with the Fulfillment group and our findings will be shared out in the Spring.

· Fulfillment and Resource Sharing committees got together to discuss possibly extending the CSU+ loan periods. A lively discussion was had and a task force was formed which will include 1 member of the Fulfillment committee.

Acquisitions

· We have our TS Open Forum this week. “Alma to PeopleSoft Financial Integration”

· Continuing – reviewing the “Getting Started Doc” (on going) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-jjopLb7chQJPmBFecu2JYErE_kgnEBagBT4MNp_I1Y/edit#heading=h.oyo7aijldaqi

· We are reviewing/updating Acquisition Policies to be completed by the end of the year.

Resource Management

• LCSH Illegal aliens update- Waiting for COLD approval before proceeding with the proposed approach for addressing this problematic LCSH term.

• NZ Management Group update- In the October cleanup of bibs without inventory, 85,394 e-resources records were deleted and 35,241 physical resources records were deleted. The NZ Management Group will meet soon to discuss whether we should perform the e-resources records cleanup more frequently. We’ll also explore other potential NZ management projects.

• ULMS Survey for Resource Management submitted. Among the general issues facing Resource Management:

  • Collection discovery is not localized in our consortium environment

  • Deduping vector in Primo could be refined for better and more precise deduping.

  • Alma terminology could be more clear, e.g. “copy to catalog” can mean either “copy to IZ” or “unlink from NZ”, depending on the context.

  • More precise conditions for advanced searching desired (for all indexes), e.g. does not contain, not equal to, etc

• Upcoming BIBFRAME session- Jodi Williamschen from the Library of Congress will present an introduction and overview to BIBFRAME on Thursday, 11/14/19, 11-12pm via Zoom. More details at this Thursday’s TS Open Forum. Many thanks to Luiz Mendes for coordinating this.
