from Amanda-CSUB to everyone:

Dolph, with the manual Vgr extracts, will that change how data is loaded in Alma this time?

from Chris Bulock to everyone:

Thanks Dolph! I appreciate the clarity on that.

from Jessica Hartwigsen (privately):

There are multiple open cases for NZ electronic collections that are supposed to be fixed in the Alma May release.  When will that be applied?

from Amanda-CSUB to everyone:

Ahh, ok that makes sense. Thanks!

from Dolph Chaney to everyone:

from Christina (CSUCI) to everyone:

i guess in that vein i'm wondering about timing on testing shib for alma

from Christina (CSUCI) to everyone:

is it best to jam this before freeze or after

from Christina (CSUCI) to everyone:

basically Friday! agh

from Christina (CSUCI) to everyone:

okay i started on our IDmgmt

from Christina (CSUCI) to everyone:

on our side so that part is done

from Christina (CSUCI) to everyone:

ok thanks

from Chris Bulock to everyone:

I'm hoping that shib setup for Alma won't actually require any Alma config changes, Christina.

from Christina (CSUCI) to everyone:

yes otherwise i wouldn't be considering

from David Walker to everyone:

Just to reiterate, the Shib integration profile settings were already put into Alma by me a few weeks ago.

from Alice Kawakami-CSU to everyone:

Thanks Dolph

from Christina (CSUCI) to everyone:

thanks dolph

from Mark B (Los Angeles) to everyone:

Many thanks Dolph and All

 

(Note: Thoreau at SFSU will be submitting a case to move Dematic ASRS testing forward.  Setup on the Dematic side seems to be ready for the Alma piece and testing to be coordinated.)
