Updates from Subcommittee Chairs
TCPR:
The TCPR will track names of library staff who have completed the Alma Certification and Primo VE Certification.
The TCPR will also track general Ex Libris training completed by all library staff. The group intends to prepare a table that can be updated by library staff directly in Confluence.
ACTION ITEM: TCPR to coordinate a message to all college liaisons about tracking individuals who have completed Alma Certification/etc.
Systems:
The Systems committee has questions for Ex Libris regarding data sharing across the Network Zone. We want the capacity to track metrics for CLO analytics but we also want to protect personal information.
ACTION ITEM: Aura to include John and Thomas in the Network Zone Strategy Meeting invitation for Sept 27th.
The Systems subcommittee proposed that the ISC make a recommendation to all participating libraries that there be at least one Alma certified administrator from each college. This point should be handled gently because smaller colleges have already expressed concern with their ability to have one certified staff member and it was an important point of contract negotiations that each colleges is not required to have at least one certified staff member.
ACTION ITEM: John to compose draft email with proposed recommendation for consideration by the ISC at our next meeting.
