Bulk Change of Reading Lists due back date test

  • Cathe tested—bulk changes due back date on reading list, you would still have to change the course and item end dates, so it’s not a useful feature.
  • Is anyone using this successfully? Group members will check with their Reserves folks and report back
  • Mallory: It might be worth reaching out to Ex Libris to provide feedback and let them know how this could work better
  • Cathe will raise this issue with the ULMS Steering Committee

IZ Analytics/shared/Community/Reports/Institutions/

CalState/ACRL IPEDS Official ULMS folder/Run in the IZ: 60 Column A. Total Physical Circulation

  • Report shows locations and material type breakdowns
  • Perhaps have a Fiscal Year drop down instead of a having to enter start and end dates
  • If you open from IZ you will see local report, if you open from NZ you will see CSU-wide data (not advisable)
  • Only includes actual checkouts (not in-house loans)
  • Cathe will relay our recommendations to the Analytics Functional Committee

Student Success Document/FFC Goals 


  • Working on survey to find out what campuses are already doing RE:reserves, fines/fees, and equipment
  • Discussion of survey – How many questions? What types of questions? Format/software to administer?
  • What policy/configuration changes have people made after going live in Alma?
  • We will review the current questions, add to, comment, etc. 
  • We will loop back and discuss this document in the new year
  • What’s driving us crazy? What’s working well?
  • The Letters purge job only purges patron facing letters, not Analytics letters or other staff facing letters
