Notes

Discuss Primo VE evaluation and report summarizing results.

All

  • The group reviewed the recommendation document and voted on adoption of the recommendations. The vote was unanimous to recommend migration to Primo VE among the attending members (only 1 member was absence).

  • The group discussed the next steps of the recommendations. Don’t anticipate issues with the ULMS steering committee or COLD. We should know COLD’s position no later than June 17th.

  • Some campuses still need help. David and Chris Lee are looking helping campuses that have done very little work on VE and assisting in their configuration. When those schools are finished, they will turn their attention to campuses such as Northridge or Cal Poly SLO.

  • We need to confirm with Ex Libris about how long Basecamp will be available to CSU campuses. They indicated 2 months after going live, but we need to confirm and/or determine if that can be extended if needed. The group also discussed moving Basecamp issues and resolutions to confluence.


If → VE is approved by ULMS Steering Cmte. and COLD
