Meetings

The CSU Implementation Team (David Walker, Alice Kawakami, Rae Ann Stahl, Patrick Newell and myself) have begun biweekly phone calls with members of Ex Libris’ implementation team and management. During these calls, we will work together to form the agenda for the project kickoff meeting in October as well as discuss initial questions we have about the project generally.

There are two important meetings coming up – the Working Group Leads kickoff meeting on September 10 and the project kickoff meeting on October 5.

The September 10 meeting will take place at the Dominguez Hills campus and all Leads are invited to attend. Attendees will receive the charge for their group and begin to set the working group agenda for the fall, after which we expect to kickoff working group discussions around best practices and identifying areas for systemwide collaboration within each functional area.

The October 5 meeting will take place at the Chancellor’s Office. The Ex Libris project manager and implementation team members will be onsite to introduce themselves and review the project timeline and main concepts behind the Alma/Primo architecture. We are still finalizing our invite list but expect the contents of this meeting to be most relevant to campus project managers.
