Required Surveys status report

Date	2/22/2017
Working Group	Analytics & Reporting
Task Force	Required Surveys
Report Summary	No action - in a lull while other activities take precedence. Will revisit after next meeting on 2/23/2017. Major Goal Create queries available through the Alma Analytics catalog - shared CalState folder for survey questions that can be answered using Analytics Progress towards completion Draft queries have been created for ACRL questions answerable through Alma Analytics Snags encountered or anticipated Ex Libris keeps changing the file structure in the Community Catalog, making these queries very difficult to locate Testing is needed from all campuses, but no feedback received to date Pace All queries need to be ready by the next ACRL cycle (FY 16-17, ACRL survey cycle 2017-18) Will send out a call for further testing again in March–campuses seem to be currently engrossed in data migration, Primo testing, and training
Description	The goal is to help campuses answer required surveys in a consistent way. If significant tuning is required or there is interest in more surveys, additional volunteers will need to be recruited. This group does need to stay focused on required surveys. Drafting and sharing queries through Cal State for other topics is a worthy goal but should be a separate task force.
Action Items	New call for testing in March Tune queries according to feedback and remove from DRAFT status Note: some queries may need to be revisited once a full year of data is available (e.g. circulation queries have special issues relating to how transaction dates are migrated)
