Enhancement Requests

@brandon dudley (Unlicensed)

Enhancement requests are due on July 24. Brandon will work with the At Large Steering Committee members to collect CSU-wide feedback on our consortial requests. Brandon will share additional information on the ULMS list soon.

Preparing for the Year

@John Wenzler @brandon dudley (Unlicensed)

Main points:

• John will ask for written Functional Committee reports before the monthly meetings starting in September

• July/August usually a good time to get to know your committees and develop your goals for the year

• Most committees have a schedule for meetings already. You can modify if that makes sense to you

• Functional Committee Chairs have a leadership role for their functional areas. For the Steering Committee, it is helpful also to have a broader vision and think about how the different areas affect each other

• John will rotate and try to sit in on each of the Functional Committee meetings once during the year; at-large Steering Committee members are welcome to sit in on Functional Committee meetings.

• Until we hire a replacement for Mallory, Brandon will serve as the ex officio member of the Fulfillment and Resource Sharing Committees
  
  

Using Confluence

@David Walker

1. Dave asks us to remember that all of our Confluence web pages are open to the world. For collaborative projects that you are not ready to share beyond your committee, Google Docs is a better tool. Final results can be transferred to Confluence when ready. Mark notes that our public facing pages provide a useful service to other Alma/Primo users around the world.

2. We have a limited number of Confluence user accounts. All ULMS Steering Committee members will have accounts for the ULMS space. By default, other members of ULMS committees won’t have accounts. If you would like to give editing access to another member of your committee, please notify Dave.

CSU+ Restart

@brandon dudley (Unlicensed) @Natalya Magazino

• COLD approved changing the CSU+ lending period to 16 weeks. Natalya has developed guidelines for implementing this change and will pass them by Mallory and Brandon before distributing to the campuses

• The RSFC will meet next week to develop COVID-19 protocols for CSU+ (about quarantines for bags, request response deadlines, etc.)

• John and Brandon will share the protocols so that campuses know what is expected of them and finalize the list of campuses ready to start on August 1. John will encourage reluctant campuses to try for August 1 for a better overall experience for CSU patrons.

COVID Planning

all

Round-table Discussion: Your campus plans for reopening. Thoughts on how your functional area will be affected:

Uncertainty was the theme of the reopening discussion. Plans are changing and being re-evaluated frequently. Some library buildings will be open to patrons. Others will be open only for staff. Uncertainty about when staff will go back to campus.

A lot of interest in Controlled Digital Lending. San Marcos will use Overdrive (can do 1-day or longer loans). Sonoma is exploring Alma Digital (can limit the number of users and prevent downloading). John expressed interest in hearing the solutions. Several COLD members will also be interested.

Courtesy Returns

@Jamie Lamberti (Unlicensed)

Jamie asks if this policy was approved by COLD. John indicates that Courtesy Returns FAQ was endorsed by COLD. Each campus can share the information with their patrons when ready to do so.
