Algonquin: they are currently working through an ITS integration project, they have made sure to include CLSP to the roadmap so it’s on their radar.
Lambton: IT is aware that CLSP is coming and that there will be a need to integrate with college systems. Not sure how far this discussion has gone at the college.
Humber: Soft launch meeting next week with ITS and library team to discuss scope. They will write a project charter, figure things out with Guelph Humber to determine policies around sharing data.
Fanshawe: General conversation ongoing with ITS, regular meetings, Tony knows who at ITS will be the main contact for the CLSP integration, they are aware. The ExLibris forms will shed light on the type of information needed, what type of integrations we’re talking about.

Lingling is planning to invite IT and their systems person to any discussions with ExLibris regarind 3rd party integration that she’s invited to.
Misc
Some colleges (Humber, Centennial) have been thinking about migration for a long time and have begun the process of reviewing policies, etc. So they are eager to have all integrations to be in place by the go live date. Might have a more aggressive schedule that the progressive integration schedule proposed by ExLibris. Priorities are to get the dev site up and running, SSO and SIS connections - everything else is secondary.
Records cleaning - Lingling mentioned that at the last Sirsi meeting there was a discussion around what data cleanup will be done by OCLS before the migration. OCLS has checked with SirsiDynix about what level of support they will be able to provide to support the migration. SD can do it but it will cost $8000 per college. OCLS has mentioned that they can also offer this support without needing to rely on SD. This is more of a discussion item for the Metadata subcommittee.
Action Items
- John to bring to the ISC the following questions we’d like to ask ExLibris about data sharing across the Network Zone.:
- What is the level of granularity of local information that can be shared across the Network Zone
- Can we see a list of fields - how is this is controlled in the sandbox
- How much of these settings can be set for a group of colleges instead of each college having to do it on their own
- Thomas to ask OCLS if they will want to track who is Alma certified at each college
- John to bring the recommendation that there be at least one Alma certified administrator from each subcommittee.
- John to ask Jane Burpee and the communications subcommittee whether they have planned to set up a listserv for all CLSP members post implementation.
