We had a meeting on Friday September 4th. We will be having a meeting every 1st Friday of each month.
We went over introductions and a discussion about our job duties and responsibilities. We discussed expectations and issues for future meetings. A couple of ideas were discussed:
PeopleSoft payment integration and how each campus processes
GOBI and how it is used for ordering
Catrina Mancha with CSUSB will try and put together a brief discussion on how her library is moving towards electronic resources.
Assessment & Analytics (Laura)
New Analytics platform is in place (OBI). The Comm is keeping an eye on existing reports and reporting any errors found to ExL as they run across them.
Primo analytics will be upgraded in November. There will be a freeze period prior to the update - email notice will go out prior to the beginning of the upgrade to save any reports any individual may have in Primo analytics.
At those meetings we set some priorities and discussed our assigned priority from Brandon and Dave: the evaluation of Primo VE.
Other priorities:
Discuss status and continuing development of the custom GetIt/Uresolver menu
Update APA CSL file to 7th edition (done)
Provide documentation about a COVID19 banner in Primo (done)
Discuss UX/UI implications of covid19-related pickup options in Primo
Potentially introduce custom resource type icons in Primo to solve problem of lack of 1-to-1 representation in default ExL icons
The first Discovery Open Forum of the 20 – 21 academic year will be Friday, September 18 at 1PM.
ERM (Kate)
We are continuing to grapple with the CDI implementation and developing advice for campuses on issues as they arise, and are currently testing a few things in regards to ebooks and CDI but have not met to discuss the outcome of the testing yet. We are coordinating the Sept. 24th TS Open Forum to be a panel discussion about CDI, with likely 4 panelists, 3 currently confirmed.
Formed a Locker Task Force to consolidate and organize information for the configuration and use of lockers for book pick-up. Information will be posted to the wiki.
Working on documentation for updating due dates in bulk, to be posted on the wiki soon.
Continuing work to summarize Course Reserve Survey conducted in Fall 2019.
Resource Management (Mark)
Resource Sharing (Natalya)
Held two joint open forums at the end of July with FFC on restarting services for the fall semester. We demonstrated some of the steps required for restarting CSU+, how to configure ILLiad as a lender of last resort, how to configure Alma’s personal delivery feature to enable home delivery and more. Both old and new RSFC members participated and also a presentation from a Discovery member.
Created resource sharing quarantine guidelines and published to Confluence: Quarantine Guidelines
Working on getting new RSFC members set up in the sandboxes so that we will be ready to test new enhancements.
Joe G will be taking over management of courier problem reports from Joe A. He will begin sending monthly summary of problems reported to Eddie Choy at the CO beginning of each month.
CSU+ restart – a little bit rocky in the beginning but things are smoothing out. Had some issues with campuses not receiving lending requests that have now been resolved. Some campuses ended up starting later than they had anticipated. Some campuses started and then had to stop because of the fires. 15 campuses are now successfully lending and borrowing. The other 9 have not yet committed to restarting.
