Discussion Items

Update from Implementation Steering Committee

E-Resources: The E-Resources Subcommittee presented a briefing note regarding https://clo-collaboration-spaces.atlassian.net/l/cp/uQgFaW8q in the NZ to the ISC which has been accepted

Systems, Analytics and Data: Currently the SAD Subcommittee is looking into different kinds of reports focusing on the CLO annual reports. They are seeking to find pre-made reports that can be used when running college-specific and CLO reports. They hope to create a collection of CLO reports that can be used collectively rather than individually.

Metadata and Cataloguing: The Met/Cat Subcommittee has created the CLO Metadata Standards which are now being placed into a publically accessible form. Currently, the CLO Metadata Standards will live on a Page 1+ specific LibGuide.

General:

Review Permitted Use Service Proposal

  • A few suggestions were made by those in attendance

    • Italics should be removed for accessibility

    • “Opens in New Window” text could be changed to an icon instead to declutter the page

  • Clarifying questions

    • What can and cannot be deleted or added to the Public Notes Section

      • CLEAR Notes cannot be deleted

      • Multiple Public Notes fields are possible so notes can be added

    • What is the space/what are the constraints of the Public Notes field

  • The overall consensus is that the briefing note looks very good

Updated on Draft BN - LC Terms to be Suppressed

  • As of the last meeting, everything has been sent up - though the 5 terms have yet to be selected

  • Since then we have received resources several resources. It has been decided that one in particular LCSH Changes in MAIN is particularly helpful - it is a collection of terms that can either be suppressed, deleted or changed/modified. The next step may be to refer colleges to this resource and allow them to make decisions about what they will suppress and delete rather than a list we make ourselves.

  • At the moment terms cannot be added; however, we can terms can be changed and deleted.

  • It may be beneficial to recommend a workflow/process on how colleges can maintain/use the list referred to above

  • Future: We are hoping to address this again in September

Resource Sharing Configurations in NZ and IZs

  • For information as to what a Resource Sharing model may look like, please refer to the https://clo-collaboration-spaces.atlassian.net/l/cp/ies2hjhb

    • The document outlines decisions that have come from Ex Libris forms and discussions with colleges on what Resource Sharing should look like.

  • On August 16th Ex Libris will be offering a weekly training session on resource sharing demonstrating to attendees how to adjust their “preferences” and settings for resource sharing

  • Quick Poll of if weekly training sessions from Ex Libris are useful: general consensus appears to be “no” as there is too much information. A longer period between sessions could generate the space for more thoughtful consideration, testing and question construction.

Any other items

  • The next meeting will take place in September, the August 22nd meeting will be cancelled. The September meeting date is tentatively September 12th; however, this will be re-evaluated based on attendance capabilities.

Parking Lot Items

  1. ILL Survey

  2. Discovery Working Group? - a group to guide colleges through decisions related to Primo that will help facilitate user access to resources and ease library staff decision-making fatigue.
