Subcommittee Chair Updates
SAD: Banner meeting with BOLT was a success. Humber plans to integrate Banner Finance with Alma. Algonquin is planning integration later. John is curious if any other colleges are planning to use Acquisitions and integrating with finance systems. Ex Libris will be providing a document that will provide information about what each college is implementing for Go Live.
Met/Cat: meeting planned for next week with specific agenda where some decisions will be made
Discovery/Front End/Customer Service: Finalized draft of survey on ILL. They discussed the Ex Libris Resource Sharing Questionnaire and provided answers based on their colleges.
TCPR: CLO has given access to LibGuides and they are in progress. Yesterday, Aubs & Mugg gave presentation on possible name. There was great feedback given in the meeting and a feedback survey has been provided. There is a question about what the brand is exactly referring to; who the audience is. The idea is that the key audience is students, but also needs to considered for use by college leadership, etc. A few people mentioned they preferred the no-brand approach. The brand will continue developing and futher
OCLS Update - deferred
Seneca’s Leganto Demonstration
Seneca offered a basic demonstration at this time. Only a few colleges would be consider it for this fall. Most colleges would not consider implementation until next year.
ACTION ITEM: Liana will reach out to Joy at Seneca to arrange a basic Leganto demo.
Alma D Demo
The demo is expected to be quite granular. It is managed by Ex Libris, is taking place today and it will be recorded and posted on Confluence.
Resource Sharing (Peer-to-Peer v. Fulfillment Network)
Ex Libris provided Resource Sharing Questionnaire that was discussed at Discovery subcommittee. It was clearly identified that colleges not comfortable sharing patron data.
Due to that, consortium will need to use peer-to-peer network. This choice can be changed later, but it would require engaging Ex Libris consultant and take approx. 2 months to change configuration, with cost implications.
Dijana recommends sharing with SAD subcommittee as colleges may want to create a custom user group.
The ISC would like more information about peer-to-peer network and what the ILL policies are at each college, which will be captured by the ILL survey.
