00:17:09 Angela Persico: yup 00:17:13 Liz Simmons: yes 00:17:16 jachimow: Yes 00:23:56 Rebecca Hewitt: SUNY Poly ships physical items via UPS to patrons upon request. Does anyone else do this? 00:24:12 Angela Persico: UAlbany does this too 00:24:45 Ethel: Not at the present time, due to budget constraints. 00:24:47 Rick Powell: SUNY Cortland does not. 00:24:52 Paul Whiting: UBuffalo does 00:27:47 Holly Chambers: How long has the AFN functionality been available? To what extent have the bugs been worked out? 00:28:24 Shannon Pritting: WRLC was the first live AFN in 2018 00:28:45 Brenda Hazard, HVCC: How will this decision about whether to implement be made? I am not convinced that all this effort to facilitate access to physical collections is worthwhile, 00:29:06 Shannon Pritting: Tim has done extensive bug investigation, reviewing of functionality in our sandboxes, and we've interviewed other consortia using AFNs 00:31:37 Christopher Keough: AFN participation will be voluntary... If an institution chooses not to participate (from letting their own users select different campuses), can that same institution still be a pickup choice for other libraries? 00:33:42 Sarah Moon: Can AFN Functionality exist without Current Resource Sharing Participation? 00:35:19 Shannon Pritting: @CJ--good question on pick up location. From a policy perspective we'll need to address this. But, thanks for bringing up. 00:37:00 Stephanie Helsher: What do you think would be the best way to handle requests not filled in Alma, and are kicked out to ILLiad? At the time of request the user is selecting a different pick up site than is possible 00:37:30 Stephanie Helsher: ok 00:49:09 Jen Parker: would the borrower be notifed then? 00:51:31 Angela Persico: so the “easiest” solution would probably be to stop requests from automatically going to illiad, reviewing their requested pickup location, and then notifying the patron that it won’t be possible to delivery to the other suny. 00:52:21 Stephanie Helsher: On the Alma request form, is it possible to have the form pre-populate with the home library, or would they need to select a library from the AFN list each time? 00:53:08 Paul Whiting: Would the return anywhere functionality trigger transit/shipping slips to be printed by Alma automatically? 00:53:45 Paul Whiting: Thanks 00:56:32 Lucy Yang: Who is responsible for overdue? 00:56:47 Heidi Webb | Upstate: do we know how many walk-in borrowers there have been? 00:59:14 Carol Franck: 30236001286024 01:00:00 Bonnie Gallagher: would the preference be for libraries to include the SUNY scope in the default search in Primo? or will that still be optional? 01:00:58 Shannon Pritting: not directly addressing the question, but there has been enhancements that allow local holdings to be boosted over SUNY holdings. 01:06:32 jk18: what if he returns it to a library other than Binghamton. Will they know where to return it to? 01:06:34 Joshua Gordon: Is there any way to anonymize a pickup? 01:07:53 Joe Riggie | Buffalo State College: so we would need to physically examine returns to check to see if they are from another library and check that box? 01:07:59 Jim FitzGerald: How would cobleskill “know the book is from Binghamton”? 01:09:00 Joe Riggie | Buffalo State College: Will this work with open hold shelves and self-check systems? 01:09:35 Joe Riggie | Buffalo State College: thanks 01:12:32 Angela Persico: is there a way to limit the pick up locations that other suny patrons can see? for example, we have 3 libraries available to our patrons, but could we restrict another library’s patrons to pick up at just the main library? 01:13:16 Angela Persico: ok thanks! 01:17:55 Mila Su: 2 questions. If a library opts out would they still be on the list? If a library participating in AFN had to shut down, can they block access? 01:19:57 Mila Su: Thanks Timothy. 01:21:27 Dana Laird: Does the return slip have to be printed at the time of check in or can it be pulled up and printed later? 01:22:03 Dana Laird: Thanks. 01:25:29 Yvonne Kester: Nice that it has a symbol next to the active ones. 01:33:09 Brenda Hazard, HVCC: The elimination of Open SUNY borrowing shared user file for libraries that may choose to opt out needs to be made very clear to decision makers! 01:35:07 Jen Parker: The policies for OpenSUNY items to borrow - they would apply only to books, right? 01:35:30 Jen Parker: (like ILL) 01:36:59 Paul Whiting: When processing resource sharing returns we do not check the "another institution" box and do not select the other institution, we just scan in the item and the transit slip is printed for returning of the resource sharing item through that workflow. It seems like AFN return process is slightly different and that box needs to be selected. Would selecting "another institution" and scanning a book in cause any issues with items borrowed through resource sharing (the item being returned to the lending institution and the request disappearing from Alma, for example) or would there just be a barcode not found error message? 01:37:03 Paul Whiting: Sorry it is so long 01:38:10 Paul Whiting: Okay, thanks Tim 01:38:31 Amy Rupp: Need some time to digest this and talk with others on staff. Where is the best place to ask follow-up questions? Basecamp? Which one? 01:38:40 Liz Simmons: I'm hoping to be able to go over our unique case with you in the near future, Tim. With our multiple campuses. 01:39:30 Bonnie Gallagher: can you restate the answers to the questions about limiting to a specific library? 01:40:45 Brenda Hazard, HVCC: Is the primary cost associated with this initiative for SLC Libraries the staff development and testing? And same for SLS -- the cost to implement is staff time? 01:40:51 Geralynn Demarest: Does this project assume all are on Empire Delivery Service, and how many days a week should we have the courier service? Currently we have one day a week. 01:40:51 Bonnie Gallagher: thank you for the clarification 01:41:33 Shannon Pritting: @geralynn--all SUNYs are on ELD 01:41:39 Geralynn Demarest: OK 01:41:40 Shannon Pritting: and all pay for 5 days. 01:41:53 Shannon Pritting: We understand that some may not be getting 5 days due to pandemic 01:43:34 Rebecca Hewitt: Could we talk about SUNY Online? 01:45:24 Shannon Pritting: sure rebecca 01:48:53 Joshua Gordon: user in Allegany county wouldn't have to find a UPS box, they could hit up Alfred instead 01:49:14 Geralynn Demarest: This is how our public libraries work so this is good to see how we can do this too 01:50:21 Yvonne Kester: Thank you Tim!
