ULMS Resource Sharing : 2019-03-19 Meeting notes

• Talked to CO contract managers who suggested a conference call with the vendor which is scheduled for 3/28
• Open meeting tomorrow to understand issues campuses would like Mallory to bring to the call. E-mails outlining problems due to Mallory by Friday 3/22
• Isabel will e-mail Mallory with details of the new label printing issue (nobody seems to have credentials to log into the new site used to print labels)

Isabel Pina

• Doc created to draft some acceptable vs. unacceptable standards for damage
• Doc will be shared via e-mail to obtain feedback from the RSFC and the task force will regroup to update the doc with relevant feedback.

• Group needs to schedule second testing meeting to figure out other details of how this function does/doesn’t work before writing up a comprehensive SF case.

• Since there is no budget to fix bags and people often send desperate pleas to send them bags. Do we want to consider ditching our CSU+ branded bags since they are causing heartache and were brought on by Anya with an eye toward branding our program?
• likes the new bags - they’re bigger. Does NOT like stickers. He doesn’t seem to have any problems holding shipments because he has no bags.
• There is some emotional attachment to using bags vs. wrapping up a thing and sending it off in paper or a box but Tricor will take things pretty much any way you package them.
• Doesn’t actually see the bags as a huge problem. May be just part of growing pains or residual resentment about having the bag decision being made for them. It would mainly be a problem if campuses are not sending things out if they don’t have bags.
• Idea: we should cut up bags with broken zippers and patch the bags with holes that way. He might experiment with that and present a prototype.
• What’s our limit for the number of damaged bags - when does the damage cause problems with shipping? Do we have a broken bag graveyard so we know how many bags are truly unusable?
• Essentially we will just hobble along repairing the bags in whatever way we can and use them until they are too broken to fix.

• Sandbox set up - This just keeps getting pushed to Mallory’s back burner. She will work on it this/next week and start to develop a structure we will build for the resource sharing sandbox.
