Discussion Items
Subcommittee Chair Updates
Met/Cat: They collaborated with E-Resources/Acq Subcommittee and reviewed Briefing Note NN - OCLS Managed Import Profiles for e-Resource Collections Not Found in the Alma Community Zone. They will start with revising metadata standards for audiovisual records and comparing with records. They discussed Conexxion evaluation with guidelines from Danielle but it’s still in progress. Also discussed where standards, etc. will live.
E-resources/Acq: They are working on testing and verification documentation for e-resources with support from Nicole at OCLS. They have also finalized the briefing note which is scheduled for approval today.
TCPR: The expanded Training LibGuide is published. This guide will continue to grow. The Branding project with Aubs & Mugg is coming to the end of contract. There is a challenge with finalizing the brand as there are two camps that are divided. Our current options were Libra and Page1 (new). Libra does not work for francophone community so it has been eliminated. Jane has also received concerns about Page1.
It is suggested that this needs to be discussed at strategic level with library directors. Feedback was taken into consideration during this process. Personal preferences should not be the deciding factor at this stage in time. The Branding project was intended to be a consultative process, not a democratic process.
It is proposed to have a meeting with CLO and have Matt Aubie present to provide reasoning and explanation of branding advantages. The questions is about if the name responds to what we defined as our brand principles and not about if people like the name on a personal level.
Virginia offers that we want full scope of Aubs & Mugg expertise and if it takes a bit more time that may be negotiated. The Branding Working group is meeting later today and will update the ISC next week.
OCLS Update
OCLS is meeting with Syndetics meeting next week about a group subscription for consortium. They are working on a few service proposals. OCLS is working on briefing note/service proposal that will document the large suite of services offered by OCLS for the CLSP consortium. It will include services that have value for the colleges. It is expected that this will change over time.
Briefing Note NN - OCLS Managed Import Profiles for e-Resource Collections Not Found in the Alma Community Zone (Leigh)
Briefing note about collections not found in the CZ and how those will be handled in the consortium.
DECISION: The https://clo-collaboration-spaces.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CIS/pages/311656449 was approved by the ISC.
Communication to the colleges about new/changing workflows is important and raises the larger question of how individual colleges are handling change management .
ACTION ITEM: Aura to add Change Management for Colleges to the next agenda.

There will be 3 sizes L/M/S of boxes of cookies to match colleges. It will happen in the middle of May. All agree this is a great idea.
ACTION ITEM: Liana, Virginia, Aura will organize cookie delivery to colleges.
