Maureen Clements (SUNY): All right. You can go ahead. Great. Well, welcome, everybody today. December fourteenth to our Olis update for the fall 2023 semester
Maureen Clements (SUNY): hard to believe. The end of the semester is almost here, and I was just thinking about for some of you. It might have already might be ending very soon, and in honor. I wrote a tiny haiku
Maureen Clements (SUNY): inspired by the library leaders meeting the other day talking about coffee. So coffee at midnight. Frantic questions, jumbled nerves. Then silence descends.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): So it's kind of something silly to start off with. But I also wanna also recognize that there's been so much great work being done this semester. And II think, Olis, the team is, I just wanna give him a huge hand.
and we've made some significant progress on our goals, but I also wanna give everyone out in Suny Library Land a huge thank you as well for stepping up and participating in all of the programs that we've put together and really really appreciate it.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Alright, let's roll. Okay. So our agenda is, we're gonna try something a little bit different for this meeting, this update. But we have 3 high level items. We're gonna do some general updates. Then we'll do a very high level functional update, and then we'll have a Q&A session for people who have questions about what we're working on.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Okay. so a quick, no, Kai's. I can't see every one is is Kim here on the call? I am here, Maureen.
Kim Scalzo: I'm just on my phone, though, because I'm walking back to my office. So let me just stop, and I'll just give this quick update. So I think I mentioned at the last meeting of this group that our new provost has started. RAM RAM was Super subramani and he started on November sixth, and
Kim Scalzo: I've actually already had a couple of meetings with him. So he's just getting acclimated, getting up to speed on everything. He has been visiting campuses. He visited about 10 campuses in his first few weeks here. So he's getting a flavor for the types of campuses in the system. And you know, kinda seeing some students and faculty. You know. Up close. So that's been really great.
Kim Scalzo: and you know, we'll be engaging with him more in the New Year, of course, but I just wanted to let everybody know that he's on board, and jumping right in kind of feet first.
Kim Scalzo: And do I have another slide, Maureen? Or is that it? So? Can I just mention a couple of other things? Yeah. So the the other thing that I wanted to mention is that
Kim Scalzo: we in the Ds org that's you know. All the groups that report to me have been coming together quarterly over the past year, and in our last meeting identified a couple of opportunities for
Kim Scalzo: You know where there might be opportunity for folks from Olis to connect with Suny online and with, there already is a lot of connections with oer services. So I think. You know, Maureen, you may talk about one or 2 of those, but I just wanted to to say that. You know I think we're we're trying to do is, think about the ways in which we can work together a little more collaboratively
Kim Scalzo: to support the work that you all are doing at the campuses, and I think that was a really good outcome. When we come together in our next meeting. We're gonna be looking at how artificial intelligence is affecting all of our work, and what opportunities that might present. So so that's kind of
on the horizon.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): hey?
Maureen Clements (SUNY): And II just to elaborate on what Kim was saying. II think we've been learning a lot of best practices and things that we can incorporate into our workflows, and how we so we're starting to adopt some really interesting types of institutional effectiveness, rubrics, things like that that. We can model after and looking for synergies there. So it's been really, really fruitful.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Alright. next slide
Maureen Clements (SUNY): I just wanted to briefly highlight the strategic initiatives that we have for this academic year. Because as we're sort of going through the updates, we're gonna hit on all of these because we've been making a lot of progress. So I think that we're, you know, we're really, really proud about that progress that we've been making. We have been working collaboratively to review policies and governance. And
Maureen Clements (SUNY): that's the expanded Advisory Board convening the shared Advisory Board the shared Collections Advisory Board reviewing the policies and our plans for that. So that we've been really putting a lot of work into that.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Also analyzing the cataloging needs staffing levels and support. That's you know, we've been sending out surveys. We'll continue to do so, and just sort of seeing what you have to say and how we can develop some of our strategies moving forward towards what your needs are.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): we're also developing consulting and support services for libraries, facing resource constraints. I know that Esta has been working a lot on different programs, collection development analysis and programmatic alignment of collections. We're also supporting systems where research access is crucial. Obviously, Alma and all the work that we're doing. And also as well with the Rdm. Task group or kid, and many of the initiatives that Katherine's working on
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and as well working with Kim's group and looking at dle integration and what that looks like. So
Maureen Clements (SUNY): refining our open access repository strategies. We've been working internally to really review those and see how we can strengthen those across and partnering with different groups.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and then finally writing an assessment plan, building a tool kit and one of the things will be talking about. It ties directly into this, and that's site visits so
Maureen Clements (SUNY): alright.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): So when I started the meeting, I mentioned that we were looking at potentially doing a new format for the oldest updates. I think, after the last all this update, it was about 2 h, and I think that was really a little too long. I felt a little tired at the lot to intake, and I realized that, you know, I think there, there.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): I really, we need to sort of maybe come up with a little bit of a a better way. We have a large department with many, many updates. And how do we get that to you in a way that you guys can ingest it? So we thought about creating all this bulletin. And Corey just posted
Maureen Clements (SUNY): that in the chat. So we're gonna be posting this prior to all of our meetings the updates. So you can take a look. So you know what's on point. So you can persu, you know, like peruse it to see what you what might be relevant to you. Gives you more time to think about the questions and delve more into topics.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): we're organizing it alphabetically as well, and we're just doing quick highlights. So if you don't have a lot of time, you could just quickly click, go through that.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): And then our idea was to we'll talk about the high level updates, main updates. That'll be the first part of the meeting briefly run through some of these functional updates listed on the Ola's bulletin and then we'll go into staff questions and answers.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): But one thing I do wanna mention before we hop off. That was we are looking for your comments, your suggestions and feedback for what you think of this. All this update please be be. We love to hear what you think. And if this is working for you. So
Maureen Clements (SUNY): all right.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Okay, so Site visits. This is something that
Maureen Clements (SUNY): sprung out of an original idea that we were thinking of we, you know, this coming year is the 5 year anniversary of Alma implementing Alma. And we were banning about ways that we could celebrate that. And one of the ways that we originally started thinking about was a survey. And then the more we started talking about, what will we survey? It? Really kind of
Maureen Clements (SUNY): became clear that some of the things related to Alma particularly, you know whether you have satisfaction, almost satisfaction.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): We determine really, that could be best taken care of through exile. They have mechanisms for their customer satisfaction, and we work with them on that.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): But then we really realized we really wanted a way to check in with everybody. And it's been a while. So we thought maybe we could start working on some site visits as a way to check in
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and what we recently did was we did meet with the Advisory Board, the oldest Advisory Board to talk through some of these ideas, and they provided some really really invaluable feedback to us that we're taking back to rework our plans. In terms of
Maureen Clements (SUNY): how we'll do the visits and what we're gonna really sort of look for and kind of information that we will be gathering. And how can we help you best? We're gonna we're still coalescing our ideas. And we're going to be putting together some rubrics for what certain assessments look like. And as I mentioned, we're gonna tie those assessments to the assessment rubric and the toolkit.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): So
Maureen Clements (SUNY): what comes next? We are still like, I said. We're still we're still evaluating what it is that we want to do. We'll be meeting with the Advisory Board and Advisory boards to look for feedback as we move through the process. But our general timeline will be. We eventually think we'll go be start visits sometime in the late spring.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): going through the summer and into the fall.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): But what we'll do is people. We wanted to send out a little survey who is interested in and actually having a visit, and we'll send out a couple of other little questions about what that would be when would be a good time, and then we'll create sort of a travel rubric based on the proximity so to avoid, as you know, keep costs low.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): And 2, I think when we talked about it to tying it to assessment planning, I think what we're thinking of is that we're gonna have different plans for different levels of the different schools. So we are approached a university center differently than we would approach a community college. So we absolutely have that in mind.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): And one last thing about this before we hop off but I do wanna recognize. II realize this is ambitious. And and then I thought, what if we get 100% people like visit? Cause it's it's, you know, it's an opt-in for a site visit and that would be incredible. But if that's the case, then we might need to. Make this a 2 year project rather than a one year project, because I also
Maureen Clements (SUNY): want to make sure that we are burning ourselves out, and that we're still providing a great service during the summer that we have always provided.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): So we're gonna be providing more information pretty soon.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): as soon as the holidays are okay.
Cori Wilhelm: holly had a question about the bulletin. She's just asking, will there be a push notification when it's updated? And yes, we will send out an email and to the listserv and definitely let folks know when we do have a new bulletin ready.
Cori Wilhelm: and we'll also send this out if we have, or when we have future Olis updates. That would be attached to the invite
Cori Wilhelm: sent out ahead of time.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): And just what might happen, though, is that we might be updating some of those notes on the bulletin. cause. Sometimes things change, usually even the day before we have a meeting. So II did send out the bullet in this past period. But I we wanted to talk about it first and and we'll definitely establish a process and make sure that we're including that. But it's possible it could. It could change a little bit from when we first publish it to when we have our in person.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): I read
Maureen Clements (SUNY): now, Nyla. Oh, excuse me not, Nyla. Excuse me, novel. Not on there, but just some updates. I know. I've been sending out periodic recaps of what's been happening with novel New York. And just to recap Kim, Scalzo, Miriam Hasan, Catherine, Stalin, Peters, and myself. We met with Christina Coglin from Nysid.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): We met with more and more of the State Library, and Max Prime from Nyla, along with Angela Wright, from Sunni Government relations, and talked about novel as an executive budget priority for this 2024, 2025. Here, what that looks like
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and it does look. The Board of Regents did just publish their budget and legislative priorities for 2044, and 25. And it does include the 3 million dollars to fund novel. So that's a positive sign doesn't mean it's going to be funded, but that is a positive sign.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): And in order to sort of help with some of this raising awareness of this issue and this budget priority, Olis, we created shared impact documentation with the help of the task force. And we provided that to sunny government relations, and we will share that amongst all the constituents when we've
Maureen Clements (SUNY): when we finalize that that should be very, very soon.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Just another brief update on that, too. The task group did analyze the gales, all in offer which really was priced quite. It was a good price. But we determined that really an all in offer wasn't feasible for all the schools at this time, neither that for Britannica, academic as well.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): But so we went back, and we told Gail, and they just provided us with some opt in pricing, which is also quite good. And we will work with the task group to analyze that and share more of that that pricing would be should these budget priorities not get funded.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): This would be the stopgap measure. We would likely provide opt in pricing
Maureen Clements (SUNY): great if you want to next slide.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): And I just wanna say thank you again to the members of the novel New York Task force. I really appreciate that. Appreciate your work on all of this. And just keeping keeping up with it. And and the work that y'all did really really helped us a lot preparing that document.
Great
Maureen Clements (SUNY): a couple of just high level general updates that I didn't get on the Olis update bulletin. But we will add that reminder that we do have a new support email address that's info at Sunniolis Lib Answerscom.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and that that email since, remember, in the in the summer we changed our Lib Guide's address
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and everything redirects except for the email address. So that email address is going to be expiring on January sixth. So if you have any documentation on your Lib guides Pages, or that you refer to this, the old Slc.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Dot with Answerscom. You'll need to make an update because it won't work anymore after January sixth
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and the other Update I wanted to provide is that we now have the interest. Groups are all listed on the training calendar, so you can go out there and sign up and get them on your calendar. Sort of a one stop shop and so the E resources interest group, the Discovery interest group.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): add the analytics interest group. And unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of time to attend many of the groups, but I did go to the Eresources Interest group the last time, and there was like
Maureen Clements (SUNY): 2020 people. That was really it was really great. It was a lot of attendance. So we're excited about that
Maureen Clements (SUNY): great. Oh, it's 116, thank you, Michelle? I thought it was. I thought it was 1 6. Appreciate that. Oh, it is, I thought, oh, no, okay, great Yup. So if you could just redirect all your links. Okay, yes, we will. We'll update that. And we'll put that on the top there. So Michelle, you and I will.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Okay.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): alright
Maureen Clements (SUNY): so we're just gonna go quickly through some functional highlights that we wanted to. Just, you know, update there. And what's on the oldest bulletin, and then we'll open it up to questions.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): So some alma and primo stuff
Maureen Clements (SUNY): we do have a couple of really interesting things terms of the fifth anniversary. That's the we're gonna be
Maureen Clements (SUNY): hosting a session on Aluna. So Olis did purchase a consortial wide Aluna membership, and that does enable all of these Sunni libraries to attend Illuna sessions at a reduced rate, and Aluna is also offering a Luna learns for free.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): So as of January one. Any of the Alluna learns sessions will be free for suny librarians. We're also gonna talk about our involvement in the Illuna working groups and the steering committee, David Schuster, from Binghamton, will be joining us, Nancy Babb as well as Christie from New Paltz to talk about Enug.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and then rolling into that. We're gonna be having a benchmarking session with ex lab to talk about what benchmarking looks like. Ex libress has many different benchmarking rubrics that they use to see how people are doing and whether they're you know, are you using Alma to the best of its.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): you know, are using all of its functionality? So we're working with Claudia Bellby, who is our customer? Success rep to create a session where we can look about what the next 5 years are gonna look like. And how you thinking about planning for our almost and primos and what you might want to be looking at implementing
Maureen Clements (SUNY): just a couple of updates, acquisitions does have a new poly interface that changed in November.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Michelle is on the primo ve working group developing. And they're developing a new discovery experience. So that's coming down the pike. We're not sure when it looks like potentially 2025. But with software development it we all know what that means, hmm.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and there are some issues with resource sharing and the mix rapid pods. So I know that Tim has been keeping people informed about that. So
Maureen Clements (SUNY): let's go back just a quick thanks. Anybody have any questions about the Alma primo stuff so we can maybe give it a couple of minutes here for some questions and answers.
Elaine Lasda: Do we know what the new discovery experience like the broad construct of that is? Gonna look like, or how radical it's gonna be, or if it's just like minor changes or anything like that, do we know
Hi Lane? Yeah, I'm actually there is a Ux committee who's working with excellus. And I'm a representative of the primal working group on that committee. So from what I've seen so far, it's not
gigantically different. They're trying to improve the layout. They're trying to improve the accessibility. They're trying to make it a little more modern. But nothing that I've seen would lead me need to be horrified at the changes. But I also don't have any details about like what it would do to any customizations you have, or any of those things at this point, and as soon as actually risk starts releasing information, I'll definitely post about it in the consortial base count.
Michelle Eichelberger: So that's a great question. Thanks. Thanks.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Yeah. We'll check on that.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): I'm really glad that Michelle's on the working group, too, to sort of evaluate it for us is right on the ground floor. So thanks, Michelle.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Any other Alma Premoon type of questions.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Alright, let's let's let's move to the next section, then
Maureen Clements (SUNY): great cataloging and metadata. So just very quickly. We are gonna be conducting a cataloging town hall on January 30. First, Marcy and strong. Our metadata coordinator and the Smsp. They put together an incredible cataloging survey. And they're gonna review those survey results in on January 30. First
Maureen Clements (SUNY): talk about plans for the Smsp potentially expanding the Smsp growing that and also looking at maybe having a metadata interest group. I think that that was something, too. I didn't list it on the slide. But I wanted to mention that. So that's a future plan. And we're also gonna have Oclc attend. They're gonna be talking about what some of their future plans are, what's happening in O Clc. World.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): And one of the things that's happening in O Clc. World is record manager. And there's a lot of changes happening. OC lc, so we've been working with them closely to have some sessions. We're gonna be doing a record manager training session on the fourteenth, Marcy and Susan, our Susan Perry, will be helping lead that, and we will also have Valerie Chase from Oclc.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): so I just do wanna open it up to a couple of questions. If anybody has any questions about what's happening cataloging metadata
Maureen Clements (SUNY): next season.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Cat-town hell! We'll have to make cat. We'll have some cats, for, as our mascots, we'll have to have them put, like, you know.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Just put them in front of some
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and
Maureen Clements (SUNY): like a dais or something. Yup.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): You yes, you will need to register for the record manager's training session, and I believe that the link for registration is we're going to manage that registration. It's on the calendar. Invite at the training and events calendar
Maureen Clements (SUNY): that was from dinner.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Great
Maureen Clements (SUNY): any other questions
Maureen Clements (SUNY): any other comments
Maureen Clements (SUNY): I do want to say. Marcy's been working really hard, and I really appreciate all the great work that her and Susan and Yvonne and Rebecca have been doing. They're sort of our little cataloging Meta data team. So just want to give a shout out to
Maureen Clements (SUNY): alright.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): okay, from thank you, Marcy, that's great. She put the link in the chat.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): I also wanna celebrate the incredible work of someone else on our team. That's Tim Jackson, who has been really incredible driving driving force with work that he's been doing resource, sharing
Maureen Clements (SUNY): 16 week renewals are 1 one renewal, 1 16 week. Renewal is now possible with 2 of our connect New York partners.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): West Point and Kinesius. So I know that was a lot of work on Tim's part to make that happen. And Tim has also been working really, really hard with Cuny to make the Alma resource sharing happening with the physical materials, and Tim has been meeting with Kuni to try to train them.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): But that's that's on point for spring 2024,
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and I wanna open it up to any questions about resource sharing that people might have
Maureen Clements (SUNY): might need to put some music in here at some point. I need to have some little bit of music like, you know. Think music? I'll take him up with some. Think music pieces
Maureen Clements (SUNY): any any questions just and of course you can save your questions till the end, too. So
Maureen Clements (SUNY): alright.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): where are we? Gonna okay.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): just some upcoming webinars that we have, and professional training. Excuse me.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): professional development.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Catherine's incredible series on Rdm. Corey as well. And that
Maureen Clements (SUNY): coming up December nineteenth. And that's writing a data management plan. And I know that for those who've been taking that series it's been really great. So that's also on our calendar.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): We do have a scholarly communications cop meeting that's coming up in January. Sunny press is getting attend, and I think that there's a lot of synergy there between the work that we do as scholarly communications. Librarians and Sunni press. So it will be wonderful to have Marlene and jen
Maureen Clements (SUNY): get their Bennett
Maureen Clements (SUNY): got her day right, but they'll be attending as well. So then finally, Corey put some links in there to the library leadership management certification program.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): So wanna thank everyone, all of our instructors for doing that, and Cory for helping organize that along with the Cpd. Really, it's great. Appreciate the work
Maureen Clements (SUNY): any like any questions on that. I mean, I don't know if anybody would have any questions, but just give it a second case. Any there might be.
Cori Wilhelm: Yep, and I'll just mention the next spotlight. Oh, yeah, sorry with librarians from Cortland
Cori Wilhelm: about their
Cori Wilhelm: that juvenile fiction or juvenile yeah. Juvenile fiction cataloging scheme in that, Dave came up with so we're looking forward to that. Made a great spotlight yesterday with
Cori Wilhelm: librarians from Monroe Community College. So that was awesome.
Cori Wilhelm: Oh, and Mary just says
Maureen Clements (SUNY): the leadership management program is terrific. Yeah, yeah, sorry. I didn't mean to gloss over the spotlight, because that is such a really cool session. I can't wait to hear about this cataloging scheme, because cataloging juvenile books is like.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): well, it's complicated. It's it's like music catalog.
Cori Wilhelm: Well, and it's it's generally like
Cori Wilhelm: a whole separate collection. And I just wanna say, I did. Just here. I think we have our next spotlight. We're working out the details, but that'll be coming up about some widgets. And Alma. But, please, if you're doing something cool, if someone on your staff is doing something neat, reach out to me, and we would love to help you share that out. System wide, because every one of these meetings people pick up.
Cori Wilhelm: you know, very useful info and helpful tips from each other. So we'd love to keep sharing that out
Maureen Clements (SUNY): alright.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Some procurement. And collections related issues
Maureen Clements (SUNY): or items updates recharges. They are now posted in the Atis portal, so you can go out there and take a look
Maureen Clements (SUNY): changes won't really be applied till March. That's sort of frozen right now. So if you do have any questions, you can absolutely reach out to the Olis Info email. Or you can email estestyadi@sudi.edu, that they'll be able to answer any questions for you.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): the art store minute. We're still making progress on that. It's taking a while. But I just did wanna mention that briefly. We haven't forgotten about it. We're still working through it.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): The J store, all access package that officially goes live on January one.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): That's the subc activation there. So I know that Michelle had mentioned that in her discovery resources Section
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and Ebsco is going to be changing their interface and their admin portal. So I've been working with Nancy Grimaldi, who is our rep to get us something on the schedule, so we can have a suny wide meeting about what those changes look like.
and that will be sending out communications as soon as we get something planned
Maureen Clements (SUNY): one thing. And I forgot to mention on this is that we are starting the shared collections advisory board. And we're really excited. We're gonna be meeting in January, and we will have a lot more to share. After that we're gonna be talking a little bit more. I think about the if upcoming renewals and some work that will get to be Ifb and some of our plans for for that.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): for those contracts.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): any procurement and collections questions.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Well, there's always procurement questions, questions. So I'm glad that we'll just blow through that.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Okay, research data management and institutional repositories. Yeah, I don't. We don't. I think that change just go back to Anna's question. Just ask, When will the Epsco interface change? I wanna say, I think the change is happening in April.
Michelle Eichelberger: I think it's the summer they're gonna change.
Michelle Eichelberger: Jen, when you say epsco net. Do you mean the periodical purchasing? Yes.
Michelle Eichelberger: I don't know. All I know about is that it's going to affect the front facing data base interface and the Admin area. I haven't heard anything about it. But we can have Nancy address that in her presentation. We're gonna try and have her present, you know, early in the spring semester Nancy did mentioned. When we talked. She said it was Ebsco. It was Epsco, it was Epsco host.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and not, I think, the one. It's the one that's all the admin related to the databases and not the admin related to the magazine ordering.
Michelle Eichelberger: okay? Just wanted to check thanks. And Per Hallie's question, yeah, it's not gonna change semester. I can get the details. Hang on.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Okay. Great.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Alright. Well, Michelle's doing that. Let's just go through a couple of any and actually, any other questions about the collection stuff.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Alright? Okay, so just some research data management institution repositories, updates. Catherine has been working on updating the Rdmlp guide, and it now includes funded data management and sharing plans
Maureen Clements (SUNY): which has been wonderful. Also, Catherine's done a lot of work on orchid, too. So there's some really great work she's been doing.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): And and Yvonne has also been doing a lot of work. Fielding, the new Sdr upgrade, which is a version to 7.4, and they are still working out some issues on that. So II know that Yvonne has been communicating through the institutional repositories base cam, and if you have and if you do subscribe to either store or Sdr, if you have either one of those instances please sign up for that base camp. This way you can sort of track on those issues.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): and if you are interested in having sort or Sdr please reach out as well.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): They will be so admirer who is our host. They host the D space instance. For us. They're gonna be upgrading our sore instance, that's slated for February, January, February 2024, and we'll be setting up more info on that, too.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Just a couple of interesting notes is that Yvonne was able to. You know, she's been getting the Wacz working. That's web archiving files from web recorders. So really excited about that. That's a new feature, and she's been working with Greg Hedrick on the Import Tool for Crossraf.
So just wanted to mention that as well.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Alright any updates or questions, or anything. Excuse me any questions about Rdm. Or Ir.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Any questions
Maureen Clements (SUNY): happy to just.
Cori Wilhelm: and our question to you.
Cori Wilhelm: this is the first go around. But does the bulletin work for you? Do you like getting the info ahead of the meeting? Is it redundant? Is it too much? Is it just right.
Cori Wilhelm: Let us know what you think. You don't have to respond right now, if you're not ready. But
Cori Wilhelm: we think this will. You know it's a better use of everyone's time. We can spend as much time with the bulletin, and then use this time hopefully for addressing specific things. So it looks like folks are saying.
Carrie Marten: I think it's great, because for those who don't attend the oldest updates. But still wanna overview, we can push it out to our colleagues at at our libraries.
Cori Wilhelm: Thanks, Kay. Oh, and Joe has a good point. It gives a chance to solicit feedback from the department.
Cori Wilhelm: so yeah, folks who may not attend you can
Maureen Clements (SUNY): chat with that about it.
Cori Wilhelm: And I said, You know, as a former director, I can imagine
Cori Wilhelm: pieces of a bulletin are important to different people. So
Cori Wilhelm: sending, you know, the cataloging updates just to your cataloging folks and research sharing to those folks
Cori Wilhelm: you know. can maybe help keep everyone on the same page.
Maureen Clements (SUNY): Right? And II was just thinking, too, there are. There's always gonna be one or 2 things that we forget to put in the Bulletin always. So what I'd love to do is, you know, the couple of things that we were talking about.
