  Walk

  • walk-in users is still unclear. Decision to ask advice of Steering Committee. 

• Launched two new task forces: the ILLiad Updates task force and the CONTU Guidelines task force.

  • The ILLiad Updates task force

  will

  • • Will review and test new features released with ILLiad 9.1 and share what they learn with our community of practice.

  • CONTU Guidelines task force

    • As a result of recent paper on the outdatedness of the CONTU guidelines, there is interest from our community of practice in looking at whether it is appropriate to draft and recommend new guidelines for the CSU libraries to follow.

    • If the task force determines it appropriate, the guidelines will go to COLD for review.

• We met with Tim Jackson of the SUNY libraries to discuss the possibility of an Alma resource sharing partnership with them.

• We’re beginning to revisit a project the RSFC Resource Sharing committee was working on before Covid COVID hit which was to improve cooperation between the CSU libraries and the UC libraries through expanded reciprocal agreements and courier services. We are investigating our options for adding courier service to the UC libraries not already on the Unity contract.

Resource Management

• Many in the group are participating in the Primo VE evaluation.

• Discussing process for adding large collections to the Network Zone.

• Exploring some practices around local fields.

• Exploring ways to provide warnings to users about troubling or offensive content.

Fulfillment

• Updated the Fulfillment Services spreadsheet for Spring 2021: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lobJnketHHS-4M3zmSF3Yf4YnmiLDTqomKGycuqw47I/edit?usp=sharing . Added new fields for locker usage.

• Reviewing Digitization digitization workflows for a possible Spring open forum.

ERM

• ERM asked

• the Analytics committee for guidance

• on mixed COUNTER 4 and 5 Reports for ACRL report. 

  • The advice was to use only

• • R4 OR

• • R5, but not to include numbers from both reports for the same resource.

  • They reminded us that R5 metrics are not comparable to R4 metrics, and so our numbers will be different from last year, and that's okay.

• Kate and Jessica Joined Brandon Dudley on a call to Ex Libris to discuss the user satisfaction survey.

  • ERM reminded Ex Libris (again) that simply explaining how things work will not resolve all of our issues with CDI

• • .

  • CDI functionality needs improvement, not just user education.

Discovery

• Since beginning 2021, we have held three forums regarding the evaluation.

  • A general forum introducing campuses to the process on January 22^nd

  • being unable to do overlap analysis with print and electronic records in NZ

• Will be conducting another usage data survey to better understand practices across the CSU.

• Task force evaluating Tableau has completed its work. Laura will share report.

NO_DEDUPE Code

Mark Braden (Unlicensed)

• The intention is to moderate use of the 988 NO DEDUPE setting by a Library.

• When used by a Library, it keeps the Library’s own version separate from other versions of the same work. The policy offers two examples where use of this command is appropriate.

• Broad-scale use of the command would result in multiple records displaying in OneSearch, for the same essential work. Think of 50 records of

• Lord of The Rings

• displaying in your OneSearch results. But they’re all the same version/edition/year.

Walk-in Patrons Policy

Jamie Lamberti (Unlicensed) Natalya Magazino (Unlicensed)

The FFC and the RSFC had a joint meeting this afternoon where we talked about the feasibility of offering CSU+ requesting to Cal State Walk-in users. While we would love to offer CSU+ requesting to walk-in users, there is unfortunately no good solution for doing so. Since walk-in users cannot log into Primo which they would need to in order to submit a CSU+ request, the only solution we can come up with is for each campus to create a form for walk-in users to submit requests. Staff would monitor submissions and place the requests on the backend in Alma. There are concerns about asking each campus to do this and so we are hoping to get the Steering Committee’s opinion. Would it be possible to add CSU+ requesting for Cal State Walk-in users to Friday’s agenda?

NZ Records Policy

• Kick off meeting for Primo VE evaluation to review the ExL process to be held on Jan. 11, 2021. Evaluation to span spring semester when regular held meetings with a wider group (Discovery and Resource Management groups) will take place. With regards to our ExL contract negotiations, Brandon prepared an audit report that shows that we are currently 44 named users and almost 600k bib records over our contracted maximums. We have a number of options to address the number of named users; with regards to the bib records, we can look at a number of options. Last year ExL increased our number of bib records at no cost.

• We have been approached by a several networks external to CSU expressing interest in joining CSU+; we will start these conversation with COLD and the ULMS Steering Committee in spring.
