ScholarWorks SWAT Team

Please find at the link below the SWAT Team report.

https://library.calstate.edu/docs/swat-report-2019.pdf

Although the overall report is chock full of useful information, for those short on time, I would direct you specifically to the three-page Executive Summary as a useful overview of the task force’s work and recommendations.

For the meeting on March 1, I would recommend that COLD discuss and take a vote on each of the five recommendations in the Executive Summary.

_______

As mentioned in our earlier report (Recommendation #3), the SWAT team has been working on an initial scope of content recommendation for ScholarWorks and the proposed Digital Collections and Archives service.

That report is available for your consideration here:

https://library.calstate.edu/docs/swat-scope-2019.pdf

Additionally, COLD Exec asked me to provide my own thoughts around a possible governance structure for ScholarWorks (Recommendation #2).

Basically, I would recommend that ScholCom and the ScholarWorks community of practice merge together. The latter is actually well organized and highly motivated, and already has interest groups focused on specific, needed areas for ScholarWorks, including:

Publishing

Metadata

Faculty profiles

Digital archives

ScholCom can evolve into the steering committee for that new governance structure. Going forward, the chairs of each ScholarWorks working group, together with a few at-large folks, can compose the steering committee. Kevin and I can serve ex-officio, as well.

That resulting structure would look a lot more like the ULMS governance.

STIM would be formally divested of any ScholarWorks concerns, which has been the de facto situation this year anyway.

The SWAT Team can serve as a bridge governance group, helping to set out some of the initial decisions and communication around the repository service going forward, until the new structure can be put in place.

Scholarworks SWAT Team (Dave Walker)

1) Lengthy report but the executive summary highlights the work

2) The team has the benefit of 9 surveyed consortia –SUNY and CUNY are similar to the CSU

· One instance instead of 23 instances is cheaper and simpler. Having things in one bucket allows people the ability to branch off and see things. Also ther is the advantage of a shared system

· We need to create a shared decision output of scholarly content as opposed to historical content

· Need to prioritize all the systems then staff appropriately

Questions:

Clarification of what should be included and not included? This is a gray area
Who will pay for the new positions?
Have we moved any campuses content from DSpace to Samvera? Yes, 10 campuses so far
What expertise is missing to get us into one instance? No one person is the issue but all of the content and additional systems maxes out the expertise and shifting to a system wide repository
Will the extra position permanent or temporary? The extra position keeps things going and gives the project continuity.

Motion to vote on Recommendation #1 from the executive summary

Will the content still be available in OneSearch after its been harvested?
Once we move to Primo the content can be exposed in other places with no additional costs

16 Yes and 2 abstentions So a yes vote to moving forward with recommendation #1

Motion to vote to approve the scope that’s presented to us by the SWAT Team on Recommendation #3 from the executive summary

Discussion: Finding aids are a form of scholarship so maybe they don’t need to be included in the
institutional repository.

17 yes and no abstentions so motion carries

ScholarWorks Governance
There are many overlapping areas and their research shows that the successful consortia that do really well have strong governance structures. Perhaps beefing up the SCHOLCOM committee. We need some action.
David suggested that the SWAT team may be the bridge to provide the structure needed to move projects along. Even start thinking about using ADs to add to some of the structural gaps.

Having a ScholarWorks community of practice is important and brings the committee into a formal structure.

Motion: COLD assign STIM the task of proposing a ScholarWorks governance structure

Report #2 (ScholarWorks)
Philosophy seems to be driving decisions about where content should go

Student Success (Tracy)

Everybody is ready to collect data and will be using spring to practice the process and be ready for fall.
IRB approval is the next step and there will be coding to conceal any personal info

STIM (Karen)
There is discussion of a possible joint conference. There may be some money for professional development.

ULMS (Carlos)

1) Will continue to meet monthly.
A lot of interest in creating a deans’ dashboard so the discussion is what type of data and what would be most useful to include. For example, lots of question about library space.
Hope to use a free version of Tableau to get a sense of what’s useful.

2)Discussing policies and decision-making structures for the ULMS steering committee
and going to recommend some standardizations. Focused on the organizational functions of the Committee.

3) 2014 SCOPM Report
ULMS will be looking at the recommendations from that document

4) Revisiting the ULMS governance structure (its size and effectiveness)
Recommendations for additional Ex Libris products but another committee is charged with strictly technical areas. Not only looking at size but nomination selections criteria.
Functional committee members tend to be staff from campuses with a
level of expertise and is this sustainable.

A shared approach is more sustainable than having someone doing work as a work assignment. Giving people opportunities but not changing the structure limits opportunities.

ScholComm (Adriana)
Copyright website is up but currently offline for review by the CO
Planning educational materials to support access to OER so might send a survey to get a sense of
what to focus on.
Very likely this group will have a modified focus to determine how it will move forward
Thinking about a communities of practice since we do have healthy ones and we need to access them as we move forward with initiatives.

EAR (Michele)
March 13, EAR will have its in person meeting which will include recommended cuts to the ECC
The JSTOR ebook pilot has been very successful. Lots of chapter reviews so the trigger has it and regularly purchasing ebooks for campuses
Asked EAR to plan for a consensus which will then be send to COLD
Decision plan:
Cost per use since last year
EBSCO analysis

These cuts will be difficult, they are a problem. We are not cutting fat.
WESTLAW and reducing the EBSCO package

Advocacy retreat follow up (Irene Herold will join)

nameCOLD Retreat Flipchart Notes.docx

@Cyril

Stakeholders, being mindful of their intentions.

We have been focused on data and not the content. Opportunity for a unified multi-message approach.

May-June may be the best time as its the time when budget decisions are made.
Understanding the problem and complexity of erosion; continually a problem of erosion of campuses

Perception of local to system-wide

We do have a place for a static website.
Can we set up an FAQ of the week (Jen and Michele)

Proposed time is to have this ready for National Library Week
What is the audience but let’s try and make it look local

Deans who have student testimonials and photos please send to Tracy and Jen by March 11 as a first round. Focus on equity and student success.

Money should be centrally located. Current process is to give campuses the money and then the administration determines how to distribute it. We want to make sure that the allocation at the start is part of the message. Maybe this message is for the president and provost.

Deans Only

Discussion of paying for a position
6 campuses using BePress: which system should we really be looking at; developers were never asked what we should be doing. Not against a system with constant failure we have to invest locally and what their resources can bare. Nothing is comparable with BePress

Reminder to reserve hotel reservations for SJSU meeting (Tracy)
