Reserve Analytics Update
Mallory and Jaime have some reports they would like to get feed back on.
They set up a meeting for Wed. at 11 am to discuss this.
Cathe, Kevin, Matthew and Jamie will attend.
CalState Walkin Recommendations
A group got together last week to test.
Some configurations need to be set up, particularly for blocks, to help it to work.
Document in Team Drive with what was tested and a recording of the session.
Only want to pass over the necessary information; physical address might not be necessary – phone number and email should be sufficient.
Regarding picking up CSU+ requests at alternative CSU, there is no “perfect solution”. Perhaps the best option is having staff manually place the CSU+ request.
This might be a problem with campuses with the ARS. This might be a moot point as visiting patrons don’t usually request CSU+ so it most likely won’t happen very often.
Mallory recommends that we add in to the documentation that we considered the hardship on the campuses with the ARS, but the benefits outweigh the hardships for the greater good.
Natasha will incorporate the testing results and discussion into the document she and Joe created and then the committee will review and hold further meeting if necessary.
UResolver Task Force Update
No activity since last update.
What’s going well? What’s making you crazy?
Cathe found items with an expired course date, but the material still has courses attached to them. She can’t find any useful information in Analytics; she has filed a case with ExLibris.
Matthew said the new bings and noises in Alma are driving him crazy.
Natasha said that she thinks there is an update in 2020 that will sound alerts for pop ups and perhaps this is part of the transition to that.
Kevin noticed some of the canned reports aren’t working anymore. You now have to copy the report into your own folder to use.
Cathe asked Kevin to show this at the next Open Forum.
