    • ACTION ITEM: Liana to update Page 1+ Implementation Steering Committee Meetings and schedule 2023 Page 1+ Steering Committee meetings.

  • Subcommittee Chair Updates

    • MetCat: Meeting Wed. Dec 14

    • SAD: Committee is shifting into a project based group. Gordana pointed out that there is still a benefit to having someone who is systems oriented on the Page Turners group. It may be beneficial to have someone who can ‘activate' the “sleeper agents”. It may also be a good idea to invite members from the SAD committee to the participate in the Analytics group as well as the Met/Cat group. The group will meet again with John as the Chair on Feb 3rd to plan for 2023 and oficially start the shutdown and/or define next steps.

    • ACTION ITEM: Liana to update SAD Subcommittee Meeting invite and schedule SAD Subcommittee 2023 Planning meeting for Feb 3rd.

    • eRAcq: A new committee will be struck in the new year and chaired by Jess. The new committee will be a combination of the work that was previously looked after by the eResources and Acquisitions Subcommittee and the eResources Steering Committee previously chaired by Dijana. This announcement will be made in the next meeting on Thursday, Dec. 15th. Members of the old eResources Steering Committee will also be invited to join the new eResources group in the New Year.

    • ACTION ITEM: Leigh will send Dec 15th meeting invitation to Jess.

  • OCLS Update (Virginia)

    • Dijana, Stacey, Virgina and Liana are working with eCampus Ontario to get records of the new OER collection into Ex Libris Community Zone. The records are in dublin core so we would have to do the crosswalk. Stacey and Dijana are meeting with the librarian at eCampus. Liana has sent a message to Andre Tessier at Ex Libris to determine next steps for setting up a direct relationship between eCampus and Ex Libris so records are put directly into the Community Zone without intervention from OCLS.

  • Ongoing Projects (Standing Item)

    • Rialto: According to Humber, Implementation is a breeze. ProQest does everything for you in the background. They are efficient and quick. They placed their first order and it was a great experience. It is everything they want it to be!

    • Alma Digital - Liana has sent an email to Maria to schedule education sessions with Ex L staff to provide an overview of Alma D functionality for those colleges that wish to start using it in Janaury. We are waiting to hear back from Maria about scheduling these sessions. We are also waiting to hear back about when a migration project will happen with the 4 (five if we include Niagara).

    • Leganto - We would like to do another call out for interest in the New Year especially now that folks are not as preoccupied with the implementation. Jess pointed out that Fanshawe is a “no” at this point. The group would also like to look more closely at Alma’s built-in course reserves functionality to see how it compares to Leganto. Maybe a special Working Group could take on this analyses in the future.

    • Ex-Libris Named Users - Virginia, Gordana and Liana met with Tate Nunely and Andre Tessier to discuss Named Users.
