Goals

  • Recap of ULMS Summer Meeting Group Meeting: What is best way to bring 16 week loan period idea to ULMS Steering and then to COLD?

  • Tip Bot content creation recap: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YeIumAWn6QsggPQDsim2gjrZwzXCkNqupr7B-KRSG2w/edit#gid=0 Are we ready to go live with TipBot?

  • CSU+ Item Condition Policy: Officially approved? One complaint was about communication and should be addressed. Print templates are 99% ready.

  • Lost CSU+ Items: How do we deal with books that never get returned but aren’t considered lost and paid?

  • Resource Sharing Completed Request Cleanup: How to do it and why.

  • Fiscal Year Statistics: Is Resource Sharing - Analytics & Assessment Joint Task Force still a thing? Not all stats (articles and some people’s ILLiad books) can be collected centrally so we still need a system-wide stats collection project. I think this project should be run out of I-SPIE TV Statistics Station with Natalya and Meghann (and even Nikki or anyone else who was/is on the RSA&AJTF if they want to be involved) running the number gathering and data presentation operations.

  • Workflow Profiles: Chris, Astra and Meghann were to explore this. Don’t know what came of it. A question came from an I-SPIEer using NCIP about their borrowing books languishing in Returned Item to Partner status. Is it possible to make a workflow profile for ILLian NCIP users that skips to a Completed status when returned in Alma?

  • Any other ideas if there is time. Feel free to add items to this agenda list if you have any.
