2019-06-17 Meeting Agenda & Notes

Acquisitions & ERM

• Committee met to discuss possible training topics for the upcoming ULMS Summer Meeting.  So far, Jessica and Kirstie will be presenting on licenses and will have a drop-in session. Kirstie may present on PCI/Primo/Alma troubleshooting again since it seems to be a common issue that comes up. Christine Holmes may present with Kirstie for the PCI session if she’s able to attend meeting.  Kirstie is hoping she can get someone else to volunteer to present something. Committee will meet next week to discuss again.
• Brandon set up editing access for the Acq/ERM policy pages on the wiki that need updating. I’ve asked committee members to tackle them as needed.

Resource Sharing

• CSU+ Item Condition Policy

• Unity Courier Issues
  • Unity Courier finally took total control of all former Tricor accounts recently.  This created some issues with customer service and communication.  Work was and continues to be done to get all parties on the same page.  Mallory and Eddie Choy from CO are in contact with Unity management.  RSFC streamlined existing online Courier Problem Report system.  A summary of all reported issues is now emailed to Eddie Choy monthly by RSFC.  Unity has a new website they want CSUs to use and they intend to do a webinar but the webinar has not yet materialized.  Stats are being collected about CSU / UC book traffic to inform CO/Unity contract negotiations.  The plan is to use the data to pick which UCs should be available to the CSU as delivery stops on the next contract.  Courier Scope of Work is also under review in anticipation of contract negotiations.
• CSU+ Courier Bags
  • Started doing bag repair in house.  20 or so formerly out of commission bags have been rehabilitated and released into circulation.   Got COLD funding for 35 new bags.
• Ex Libris Next Gen Resource Sharing Development Project
  • Very recent development that RSFC will be involved with.  Project discussed briefly with RSFC.  More details should be forthcoming.
• Summer Meeting
  • Began planning programming for Summer Meeting.  Topics are currently being investigated and technical details worked out.  One example: some campuses have expressed interest in having ILLiad as lender of last resort in Alma rota.  This involves communication between Alma and ILLiad not covered by NCIP.  Work currently under way on how to implement the system with hopes to present technical setup at Summer Meeting so campuses have the option to do this if they want.
•  Sandbox Setup
  • Work to get Resource Sharing sandboxes functional for testing is ongoing.

  • Humboldt

• John will schedule a get-together for the steering committee at Northridge.

Based online card-sorting survey, Suzanna, Brandon, and Christina are proposing an update to the functional committee sites. They will be standardized. Committee agrees that this is a good idea and will go ahead with it.

Dave will update the links to the ULMS from the COLD Confluence site. We don't need a page on both the COLD site and the ULMS site.
