Action Items
Discussion Items
Subcommittee Chair Updates
Metadata and Cataloguing:
Members of the subcommittee are collecting examples of records to include in the CLO Metadata Standards LibGuide to act as reference.
The CLO Metadata Standards LibGuide continues to grow.
Systems, Analytics and Data:
Spent time discussing recommendations for CLO
Established that their work would be best reflected as a working group moving forward
They are looking to create a “sleeper agent” organization/cell. Wherein, there is a reliable set of members who are part of the on-call working group.
Intend to meet quarterly unless there is a project that is actively being worked on.
The subcommittee continued to review analytics reports to see which they can customize for colleges (sharable reports in Alma analytics).
The subcommittee will circulate these reports to get as much feedback as they can.
The subcommittee will be meeting weekly during ‘weekly hours' to work on the reports and receive feedback from the colleges
This subcommittee plans to continue working until CLO makes its final decisions (especially on the analytics front)
It is possible that this subcommittee/ future working group might report to both the Metrics and Assessmentse committee and the page turners.
No other updates/committees
Draft Subcommittee Recommendations for CLO
Last actions for the Subcommittee Recommendations for CLO
ACTION ITEM: @Jess Bugorski to resend email confirming people's interest to participate. Confirming roles.
ACTION ITEM: @Liana Giovando to export documents from Confluence and send to @John Ellis and @Jess Bugorski
ACTION ITEM: @John Ellis or @Jess Bugorski to submit the finalized/approved briefing notes to Marnie
ACTION ITEM: @Liana Giovando to change phrasing from “activities” to “accomplishments” to reflect that these instances are completed work of subcommittees. And to also change “Reflections” to “Recommendations”
OCLS Update (Virginia)
OCLS has worked to finish its internal briefing notes
The services team is structured so that roles and responsibilities are clearly identified so that the committees, future working group and the services offered by OCLS can be supported properly.
OCLS desires to be ready to support the working groups and committee is ways these groups have identified as being benificial to their growth and continuation
Page 1+ Steering Committee - Page Turners (Liana) [Ongoing - at least till November 30th]
Additional decisions have been made regarding Page Turners:
Structure:
6 Individuals (Identified as a potential problem for voting)
2 co-chairs (who sit on working groups)
These co-chairs will be responsible for making brief meeting notes/minutes to bring back to the Page Turners to reflect the progress and “big decisions” within the working groups.
Identified that the co-chairs will need to possess a certain amount of comfort with report writing
Proposed that a template for taking minutes/recording action items be made.
Co-chairs will need to be flexible - able to fill in if another working groups chair is unable to attend for some reason
4 members who sit on the Committees
There needs to be a way to progress information “higher” in the group, moving from working group up to Page Turners.
There needs to be a way to determine priority between working groups and committees
How do we capture and interact with innovations from other sources such as OCUL and Ex Libris, and bring them back to the Page Turners
Major Projects and Planning [Ongoing item]
Alma D
Currently there is slow progress being made
The primary focus is trying to arrange a meeting to discuss an Alma Digital strategy; primarily agreeing to an implementation time and date.
Proposed that an “ideal situation” be brought forward to Ex Libris. This would allow us to try and negotiate an “ideal” with Ex Libris.
Talks about re-evaluating pricing - we were interested in changing the pricing of certain user groups depending on the user level (eg. light users cost less in the system). Unfortunately, this was unsuccessful; however, we have been afforded a discount for any additional named users we might have.
RIALTO
Met with Rialto sales on several occasions.
Positive: We agree since there is an existing Pro-Quest subscription (active till March) - there will only need to be one agreement.
They have also offered to get rid of the shipping charge and they are negotiating a discount on e-book content (Possibility: give back some of the print discount on print books to get more of an e-book discount)
All terms will fall under the new terms of the contract
