Alright, so go ahead and get started looks like people joining has slowed down a little bit.
Thanks for joining us for the last SLS update of 2021, we'll get started and feel free to ask questions as we go forward.
Will will address them as needed.
I just, this is probably, you know, something that everybody's aware of, but just wanted to make sure and reiterate that all a Sunni is moving away from workplace.
My understanding is sometime in the next few weeks, I haven't heard any specific details.
As far as the exact dates from from SUNY on the move away from workplace.
But we are moving.
Most of the channels out of workplace or ending the channels as appropriate.
And as far as the SLS and us.
We have a blog that you can subscribe to much like a listserv. You can also comment on anything that we post if there's anything that's wide ranging and important for someone to know we will post on that blog so that you don't have to pay attention to
all of all of the different channels and less that's what you want to do is engage in those channels which is great.
So what has happened already is that the library leadership workplace group, moved to the school or back to the school listserv. We moved, or we created a new collections HQ.
That was something that we found that we were often sending a variety of collections related information to the director or the leadership group, and we wanted to make sure that we had a space just for collections and, you know, talking about procurement
and and other collections things.
We move back to base camp for the MSP and discovery HQ.
There was about 5055 people in the SUNY library accessibility group we move that into base camp.
And if there's anything that you have questions about or want to be on list serves just send us a message to our ticketing system.
So, what has not been migrated or will not be migrated.
There is a SLC workplace channel I think there's a couple hundred people in that. I'm going to move that back to the SLC listserv soon.
There was some confusion about who was the administrator, but I've worked with I tend to get that figured out so I'm ready to migrate it but I understand right now is not a fantastic time to coordinate a whole lot of communication so we'll probably be
be early 2022 when I do that.
So Sunni Lawson Sunni law has a, an active and long established listserv the Sunni lot workplace channel that was created.
That's been archived Susan from our office checked with this in the lobby group, and they indicated that it was fine just to archive that workplace group institutional leads that was archived and there is not a new channel, so if there's something that
is institutional leads worthy we would post it on that SLS blog, and then we would, you know message to the institutional leads.
Email group, Or we have individual emails if if needed, but we found we just weren't using that institutional leads group for anything specific to that group.
We were mostly just duplicating content from other places there so made sense to archive that there is a Sunni libraries workplace group that has I think last time I checked it 350 and it continues to grow.
That group I spoke with the administrator and she indicated, she was fine with moving this into Yammer, or, or Microsoft communities which is what I've been told this the current plan for migrating from workplace to a new Sunni wide collaboration space
so if you're in that semi libraries workplace group that that is going to, that is going to move into Yammer, when when that happens.
So that group has been a lot about outreach sharing, you know, positive things going on at camp at it, campuses, things like that so you know that that's not administered by the SLC or the SLS so that will that will move as the administrator of that group
would like to move it, which is too
quick procurement update. Springer nature we are still waiting on a signed copy of the agreement to send to the attorney general, I think we still have months ahead of us for reviewing that agreement, still working on the ISP.
I think I'm on like the eighth or ninth round of questions with the Comptroller's office on the ISP but I think we're getting close the Attorney General's i think is completely finished at this point so we're now only working with the state controllers
office art store the amendment for that final year of pricing is is approved so if you're waiting on that to pay your art store bill, and again the art store is and will continue to be a direct payment to Africa.
I know that's a little bit confusing since Jay store we are moving towards a combined payment through Sunni, but art store will continue to be direct to Africa.
I think many of you are most of you who need to know about this type of thing have seen that the OGS has intended have has put out an intent to extend the cereals and databases contracted June 2022.
We shared that out in a couple of different groups as well at a couple of different spaces, or a couple of different dates. And we're continuing to work with ogs to give them areas that we would like to see changes improvements modifications on the cereals
and databases contract because that just makes things so much easier, the more business we can put through the OGS contract, the better it is for both system, and every single campus, I assume, because that that takes out a lot of procurement steps.
So, We had our first campus Empire State College went live today in the whole ebook I ll so the ability to request a alone have an E book that another campus owns, there are some limitations there's mostly university presses and a couple, you know some
other presses and about 8077 7700 titles total are eligible for this.
It's going to be a year long pilot and we just started it today. So, Right now, as it stands the SLS is going to fill that those are those requests on behalf of campuses as the quote unquote lender.
And then we, you know, thanks to Michelle, she's, she's put everything together for discovery of these eligible titles.
And, you know, it will go through as an email to our ticketing system and then we will send this this loanable link to to your patron. So, we haven't completely given up on on Alma and prima v as the, you know, very integrated system to do this but you
know this is a pilot that pro quest is working on. They acknowledge that they still have some things to, to, to make happen so you know it is, it is possible that we will have a better workflow by the end of this pilot but I think the important part of
this pilot is the E book Central and the publisher relations part, so that we get these tokenized expiring URLs to facilitate alone of an entire e book and that's I think the real thing that will change the industry going forward.
You know we've had lots of conversations with the other consortia who are part of this like the Cal State system. And then the Colorado system as well so you know it's it's an exciting move forward for us and we look forward to this being live in the
one. as of today and more and more campuses going live in early 2022, as well.
Just a reminder I've seen some positions getting filled, you know, obviously, there, there could always be more positions getting filled but if you have new staff, we continue to get these requests in, just let us know and we can help with onboarding
whatever level that that the staff or at.
Just let us know and we'll do what we can to help.
I wanted to give a heads up on professional development planning as then having a lot of meetings and conversations with the Center for Professional Development to try to offer more.
areas that the libraries have been asking us to deliver something for them. What's in the works right now are a DI reflective practice group that will be open to librarians and library staff, hoping early 2022 so enough, you know, in the first couple
months of 2022 to open that up. And then, we're looking at ways that we can do specific professional development around focused areas like Access Services collections and connect them together through badging programs or something like that so that you
know it's going beyond the webinar it's it's it's trying to get people to apply, things that they're learning in these trainings and and professional development opportunities, we're working through that right now.
And I've had several, several different meetings and going through a lot of planning about how to offer a library specific leadership program with CPD leading it much like the sale or the CIO, the CIO leadership program, and tailoring it very specifically
to to aspiring library leaders or library leaders who are looking to, you know, to increase their knowledge in those areas.
And there's a DI working group that is that has been working for the last few months that we're looking at follow up activities and hoping to create a community of practice related to di and libraries as well so look for look for that.
And we continue to partner with the library accessibility group to offer the most sessions that we can the most meaningful sessions that we can as well on accessibility.
And just a transition here, I just wanted to let everybody know about this so the SLS does not have a representative on this but there are two Sunni representatives to the new Sunni it accessibility Task Force, or advisory group, I've seen it both ways
so will will say it's either a task force or an advisory group.
So, what this group will be working towards over the next year is looking at it accessibility access it accessibility compliance and how to approach that system wide.
And, you know, our office will will will look to this group to see what you know what direction, these things are moving in.
We're, we're dedicated to continuing to maintaining the repository of tests and reviews and eta PS and things like that that we're creating.
And we will let you know if if this past force or advisor group moves in a different direction and we'll try to align ourselves with where, where things are headed in this in this space.
So I don't think there's going to be any immediate action on this but I just want to put this on people's radar I've started to have conversations about RX Libra renewal.
So, we have very favorable terms as far as increases so our first term our first three years, there was zero percent increase which is, you know, a very positive thing for us.
And then, small increases over the first term and very low cap on increases.
But, there, there is language about growth in some areas related to documents that Primo harvests and indexes and big records. And in this case, big records equals e resources plus physical titles, as well as named users.
So, I've spoken to many many North American consortia who have gone through the renewal process. And, you know, tried to learn from them and then also try to leverage our relationships with ex Libra so what what I'm asking for right now and I started
the conversations, through the through the hierarchy at x Libra slash Claire of eight, and I'm going to ask them to do a renewal audit on these metrics.
In early 2022 to see if we need to do anything to keep ourselves under the growth allowed in our contract.
And if it's something that we need to make any sort of changes or modify things or ask campuses to change or there's going to be any additional costs associated with, with this we will put together a task force to do that but, you know, I don't want to
say that we're going to do that until we get this audit we get a firmer understanding of. If we need to make any modifications with how we're handling resources, or whether we've had an explosion of named users things like that so just letting you know
in early 2022. That's something we're thinking about, but we will have a lot of lead time before any activities are hitting campuses or any sort of requests for changes.
With that, I will turn it over to Michelle. Great, thanks Shannon. Go ahead.
All right.
So this one's released for discovery there weren't a lot of major issues. You can turn on quick links which is way to get PDF links right at the top of your record from next sleepers.
And we've had many questions about how is this different from the live key linking and Maria did a great presentation recently about how they're different and the benefits of using live key and so I put a link to that in the slides which we will post
for you.
Another thing for the customer to have locations and get it your two options used to be either alphabetic or best locations or but now you can have a custom order sort of your locations.
This is for your physical locations of things so that's kind of cool. My Library card you can add some new information if there if you have additional emails for the patron, etc.
You can also make the expiration date more prominent which I think is kind of interesting and there is information about that in the release notes link which is down below.
A good thing that has changed is that since we went live if there was anything activated from the NZ for your campus the direct link did not work for that if you have direct linking setup and now it's supposed to be working I have not gone and tested
that yet but that seems like good news to me for those campuses that do use the, the direct linking I see a question from Jill, there's not an FAQ for how to turn on Quick Links but there's very specific instructions in the release notes for December,
so if you go to that link that I have on the slide that will give you all the information you need to turn it on you. You're welcome. Go ahead, Shannon.
resources there are some changes to content that were posted on the on the list. This is a good thing. So, ABC book central from Pro quest they are going to be putting new book titles in the ebooks central perpetual DD and subscription title Cz collection
on a daily basis, which is good I know that people run into problems, a lot of the time where they're ordering something it's not in the CC yet so that's a nice thing, which is probably result of pro quest and next Libra being even more joined than ever
before. So that's good and if you have the integration profile setup that's pulling that content in daily, you probably won't see much of a change, you know as you order things but this was a good improvement I thought at Cisco rolled out a new open URL
connection in June and so since June we've been seeing messages on the on the list, about what actually versus doing to respond to this to try to make linking better for ABS go.
So they are rolling out a new purser they've already rolled it out for some of the collections, another chunk of them are being rolled out on Sunday. So what we need to do is we need to do some testing.
There's a new field called the OP ID, which is a recommended field to add, I have contacted our representative to get a list of all the OP IDs for the campuses.
However, someone else on the list if you could still use IP authorization which is what I think most of us are currently using and they said yes, so I'm going to do some testing of this once, some more of the packages go live.
I will post in base camp in the general base camp, about what the plan is SLS would change these for almost all the campuses will work with University Centers if they want to do it themselves or if you have a burning urge to do it yourself you can but
I'll be posting more information about this shortly in base camp look to see something by early next week. But again, I need to do some testing to see what's going to work best.
The only thing I thought of no resources wise from the January upcoming release was that the portfolio loader will now support using Kmart format files which is a big improvement because right now you have to use the proprietary portfolio loader format
and sometimes you have to do a lot of, you know, copying and pasting of things to get things into that format so I thought that was good news. So that is all that I have.
Hi everyone, Shannon, you can go to the next slide.
So just a quick update on the status of the Sunni Connect Task Force. Again, this is a task force that was created to review our package of Xcode databases which are up for renewal at the end of next June.
We are at the point where the group is reviewing vendor proposals we're meeting next week. To do that, hopefully, voting on them and sharing out more information as soon as we're able to.
If you want to keep up to date on what we've been doing see recordings and slides of our past updates meeting minutes, things like that.
You can do that at our live guide and. Next slide please.
Another sort of high profile SUNY renewal that's getting ready to go on as our Science Direct journal package contract which runs through the end of next year.
We and the shared collections.
Committee met will a rep from that committee met with the University Center stakeholders, and they recommended moving forward with an extension.
Similar to the current contract. So the SEC has created a task force focused on managing that renewal and the work of that group is beginning in mid January and we will share more information as we're able to, and then just one more quick update on the
next slide.
Thank you everyone for your patience as we pushed the art store contract extension through. It has been approved.
It's up to date it's ready for you to pay off it here's the link in the contract search.
And we are currently we just met with art, art store Rep. This morning again, we're working on a multi year contract for the next renewal we're hoping to get five years, we'll see what happens we want to make it as easy.
And as efficient as possible for you all to, to use that contract and so we'll keep you up to date as that moves forward, and that is all I have over to Maggie.
Thanks so Hi everyone, you can. The first thing I want to talk about is the data sync collections with OCLC. They completed our move to the new process on December 18.
They started this while I gave him permission to move from starting November 15 but it did not happen until December, and everybody move smoothly over to the new process it's all matching on the OC and the OCLC number only I'm not seeing any problems
cropping up in the network zone like I did when they initially moved us to the first to the new process where it was creating duplicate records and such so it's good it's working as expected, I'm not seeing any problems so I'm happy to report that that
is complete, and this has, you know, there's no change to your workflows regarding automatic publishing, you're holding your bibliographic holdings from OCLC.
Next, place
the brief level rules initiative is still on pause, because the December release didn't fix the issue where I Z's are not inheriting the brief level, from the network zone so until this is resolved I wouldn't be able to continue working on this and update.
I Z's for your eyes only records.
Next place.
We're going to be putting a pause on the graphic novel comics local resource type initiative to get more stakeholder input, the metadata standards and policy Working Group has reviewed this, I'm going to be meeting with the discovery working group today,
does not mean they're going to make a decision today but I'm going to meet with them to discuss it with them so they can give their input. And we're also going to create a local resource type test force.
So there'll be a charge and, you know, really to come up with a policy and best practices for these the local resource types in Sunni, the expected formation of the task force is early 2020.
It will be posted and people can join. We're interested.
Next place.
There's a new feature that's been enabled in the network. It's called the physical usage information. And this was approved this went to the access services and resource sharing working group and they improve this on December 7.
Then they went to the MSP and was approved on December 13.
What, enabling this function in the network does it allows all Sunni's when they're searching in the network zone, and click on a held by institution.
You can now see the number of loans on that title.
Last loan date, and number request, and there is now an additional physical usage tab that shows up that displays this information.
Next please.
Mind updated band The Change of subject project I reported that on believers in will ruin.
of us did not know was that the tentative changes were also approved on the same date, and I'm going to put into chat if you're interested in seeing the approved pages.
So OCLC I had a case with them and I asked them to keep me up to date about what their plan of action was how they're going to update these records. And just to speak I was told that approximately 41,000 world cat records have been updated to these changes
to reflect the changes for the approved subject headings by the Library of Congress. 30 records have been updated as well.
And they also made announcement OCLC cat and other places. You may have already seen it.
So I want everybody to be aware that these changes are reflected in our networks own bibliographic records because we are synced to get updates, and since the changes are made and OCLC they now are in our catalog.
So, the Sunni metadata standards and policy working group is going to be reviewing the impact of these changes on our current automated processes, processes and determine the next steps.
How we want, what do we want to do with this. So I want to make everybody aware that when you're now searching the catalog and you may want to communicate.
You know reference and instruction that the now approved subject headings are for aliens is on citizens and for illegal aliens is illegal immigration.
And we will keep you up to date as the working group makes their decisions and changes, get implemented in the system.
Next please.
Like,
Angela, asking Yes Can networks own data. Also, I can pull network so data and analytics.
If somebody needs that.
I think she was asking, just based on when the check came in about physical usage from all of the.
Yeah, so unless you've checked it i'm not i'm not sure i don't think i don't think i don't think anybody's looked at it but maybe you have.
There's no really networks own physical usage data in for the network's own, is that what you're referring to, I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Yeah, when you.
It was posted when you were talking about the new physical usage, showing up in the, in the display and Angela was just asking whether you could also look at that in analytics, but I'm not, I'm not sure I would guess probably know but we'll take a look.
I will look for you. Sorry about that.
And finally, I just want to do a reminder about the analytics office hours are starting in January 2020, we announced this last update the SLS program managers, Michelle Tim and I will be providing to one hour time slots, from Wednesday January 12 through
Friday, June 10, where people can come with specific reporting needs so you're working on analytics report. There's something that just isn't working for you're trying to get specific information pulled and you're having trouble.
This is a great opportunity to come to us. You can you can register ahead of time, or you know register as you need. And this is available on blip cow.
So, and sign up. We're here to help. Thank you.
Thanks Maggie.
You can move on to the next slide. Or, everyone. The big news I have is that we finally have a billing policy for last on the resource sharing items billing for overdue resource sharing items that were do prior to March 1 2020 So, before the start of
a pandemic. I'm billing for those items began on Monday, billing for overdue resource sharing items do after March 1 2020, and resource sharing items that have been in transit between campuses for more than 45 days.
That starts on February 1 2022, and just to put all of this in perspective.
Right now, in total. We have about 500 items, throughout the system that qualify for being declared last per our last billing policy. And those 500 items represent less than 2% of all of our resource sharing loans since go live.
So, the number of last items is is far from overwhelming. Plus it's, it's probably not probably it's almost certainly a little unnaturally high due to the pandemic.
But so, generally speaking, we're doing well but I'm hoping that having this billing policy in place will help get some of these overdue items back.
So we had a webinar on this new policy and the workflows for handling last items last Friday. I've included the link to the recording from that session I've also included the link to the FAQ I put together on how to handle last resource sharing requests
in all that.
I've been sending lists of items that have been in transit for more than 45 days to the campuses.
Because we're hoping to do shelf checks for all of those items before on the beginning of February, all of those files went out yesterday I'm already starting to hear back from some of us so thank you for.
Thank you to those of you who've already gone out and checked on those items, if that's something, if you received one of those files.
And it's just, you know, bad timing.
If it needs to wait until after the holidays that's absolutely fine. There's no huge rush with any of these.
I've also been collecting information on what libraries plan to do in terms of when they plan to Bill, how they plan to Bill, what forms of payment they can accept.
also I'm collecting on billing contact information.
I've sent out a survey I've heard back from about two thirds of you I'm still waiting to hear back from about 20 campuses. So if you've not responded to that survey yet and that survey was sent to everyone's primary resource sharing contact me if you
Well, if you haven't responded please do so once I get closer to having responses from everyone. All Kohli, all of that data and send it out to all of you, so you have it all handy.
And in terms of, you know, all of this building stuff, you know, as always, if you run into problems with any of it, feel free to reach out to us, will help you in any way we can.
Next slide please. Shannon.
I also just wanted to remind you all that.
If your library is going to be closed and you won't be able to fill lending requests, please remember to turn off your alma lending.
You can also turn off your borrowing if you wish.
For those of you who are borrowing articles via Alma, if you want to turn off just your book borrowing, but keep your article borrowing on, please reach out to me because I can make that happen.
It is a little weird what I have to do background but it can be done of.
So, if you do want to turn off your article or your book borrowing but not your article barn please let me know. And if you want to just turn off your landing or turn off all of your borrowing I've included the link to the FAQ on how to do that.
One thing I want to mention is, there is a lack of clarity on specifically what roles are needed to turn off your alma borrowing and lending x leavers documentation leads me to believe that someone with the fulfillment administrative role should be able
to do that work.
It looks like actually at this point in time you need to be a general system administrator, which I know isn't convenient for a lot of you. So I have submitted a case to x Libra about this to get some clarity on who should be able to do this work.
I'll keep you all posted on what I hear back from them but at this point in time unfortunately to turn off or on all my resource sharing, you need the general system administrator role
section.
Also I wanted to talk a little bit about how things are going with the return anywhere, teacher.
We are seeing it being used so so it has proven to be helpful. But, enabling that feature at all of our circulation desks has resulted in a fair number of erroneous transit requests and also some accidental loans.
I do want to assure you that I am checking for these, you know, transfer requests and loans on a daily basis and I'm correcting issues as I find them.
So we don't have like some huge, you know backlog of, you know, problematic loans.
The minute I see them I clean them up.
But to to address these issues, what I did was I worked with the University Centers on changing their return anywhere configuration to isolate that functionality at a specific circulation desk to be used only for returns from users from other campuses.
And that has gone well, so far, I've seen a pretty significant decrease in the number of problems that show up in these daily Analytics reports.
Your staff at the University Centers have given me positive feedback about how things have gone.
I discussed all of this with the ASR is working group. Earlier this week, and we all came to a consensus that
the functionality is helpful, but how we currently have it configured is problematic. So we're going to move everyone in the SUNY system to isolating the return anywhere functionality at a specific service desk.
So, at your main Circulation Desk you can just no conduct business as usual.
If someone from another campus comes to your library with an item they'd like to return, you can just quickly switch over to that standalone circulation desk for returns from others Sunni's scan the item in, and then switch back to your regular circ desk
and continue just doing business as usual and this, this should, you know, probably not completely eliminate, but drastically cut down
on the number of problematic triggers of the return anywhere feature, and I see Joe has a question on Tim Can you remind us what the procedure is for resource sharing items returned add another campus.
Um, I would say Jill if you receive a resource sharing item, just scan the item in. And then, wherever.
The, the item is placed in transit to send it to that campus, because it's a little unfortunate the way this is going to handle research sharing it scans, once it starts looking for the barcode it goes in alphabetical order.
If it finds the barcode at the borrowing library before it finds it at the lending library it's going to put it in transit to the borrowing library finds the lending library first it's going to put it in transit to the lending library, which, which isn't
fantastic but either way the, the item is being tracked in the system we know where it's going, it will eventually make it back to where it's supposed to be.
And there will be tracking the entire time. So, generally speaking, just scan the barcode and then transfer the item to the campus, Alma tells you to transfer it to.
So anyhow, um, like I said, it seems that the best way to move forward with this return anywhere functionality is to use it at a specific circulation desk so we will be making that change up all of your campuses in the coming weeks.
My goal is to be finished by the end of January, and once I'm ready to start working on your campus I will reach out to you specifically I'll reach out to the person listed as your resource sharing contact.
So please keep an eye out for those emails.
Next slide please.
Um, so, a lot of libraries have been reporting issues with the ELD career since we resume service, back in August of 2020.
The ASR is working group met with Maria de Tino from Aslan she manages our relationship with the career we met with Maria, this week to discuss the concerns we had about how things have been going with ELD so we talked to her about things like Miss stops
inconsistent delivery windows items taking an abnormally long time to get to where they're supposed to go items Never making it to where they're supposed to go talk some about items being damaged in transit and also we talked a bit about how things are
going, or not going with the tracking system.
So Maria shared with us that they've made some route changes in the Albany and Hudson Valley areas that she's hoping will address some of the service problems that we've seen in those areas.
Those new routes started I believe a couple of weeks ago so hopefully things are starting to get better already.
They've also streamlined, how they move items from hub to hub.
Apparently, they had been like resorting everything, every time something lands at a hub, and they're going to stop doing that, which should streamline things and hopefully, you know, improve some of our delivery times.
Unfortunately,
I don't have any timetable for when the tracking system will be implemented, it's something they're working on.
But I'm afraid I just don't have a target date for going live with that to share.
We will be meeting with Maria on a quarterly basis going forward to discussing how things are going on prior to each one of those meetings, we will post something to base camp to solicit questions and comments from all of you, so please keep an eye out
for that SLS we're also going to start sharing some Alma resource sharing data with Maria, that can help give her a better sense of how the career is performing.
There isn't going to be any personally identifying or sensitive information in that data, it's just going to be, you know, list of items that have gone missing.
turnaround times, things like that.
And we're hoping that providing that data to Maria will help give her a better understanding of exactly, you know how items are moving through the system and where there are problems that need to be addressed.
And all of this isn't to say that.
You all should become are talking to Maria directly about any problems you're having at your campus. If you are having a problem.
Please do reach out to Maria. If you want to let me know to that that would be helpful just so, so I'm aware of what's going on. But, um, yeah, our, our conversations with Maria at a system level are not meant to replace any conversations that you may
be having with her on an individual basis to supplement, those conversations.
Um, so, next slide, Shannon.
And the last thing I want to talk about is an initiative from the IEC working group about idea exchange. For those of you not familiar with idea exchange, it's a place you can go to submit ideas to x Leber's about ways to improve all my and premium.
That's something, all of you can do you can also vote for items that are vote for ideas that other people have posted you get up to 25 votes a year.
x sleepers are not contractually obligated to implement all of these ideas, but they do keep an eye on them, and each year they do implement some of the ideas that get a lot of votes.
And, you know, the more votes and idea has obviously the more likely it is to be implemented. And, you know, between our 60 campuses.
We have a lot of boats.
So, what the IC working group is working on is finding a good way to, you know, gather up ideas that we all want to get behind, and try to coordinate voting for those ideas.
So I've included a link to their lip guides page about this, and there will be more talk about this initiative, early next year.
So, That was everything I had today so thanks folks.
I think this is the earliest we have ended in, probably a year and likely longer than that so if there's any questions or discussions now's a good time because we have a fair amount of time.
Otherwise we can get 15 minutes back in our day.
Any questions, comments or anything you want input on.
Oh yeah. Bill brought up a point.
Yeah, so it would kind of defeat the purpose of password if we gave out the password in a recording that we're going to put publicly out there.
But since we had a lot of contract information in the Sunni connect
live guide us to put a password on it so.
So if you want to privately chat bill but just send us a ticket and we'll give you the password.
Oh Hi this is Megan from New Paltz and thank you for all the updates. I was just wondering on this pie question from Maggie, that I know she did a lot of work with the change the subject projects.
and so does that mean the work that she did was overlaid by the newest LC subject heading approved.
So I was just wondering about that.
Hi Megan.
Yeah. Actually, yes, it is the displayed our roles are still in play in the movie so if any of the subject headings that we decided we didn't want to use they are being changed in the discovery level, and there are because I just did a recently just an
indication will to find out how many records still had a 650 with a subfield to change the subject in it. And there's only 198 are meaning, and it's either because they are coming from other sources in the Library of Congress like an il or Sears.
And the other ones there's a few there's a handful of subject headings, like alien criminals, I'm going to just pull up my little list I have so give me a second.
Alien property, a few of those that were not addressed by the Library of Congress, so they're being automatically change still with the SMS P is going to do is review if we feeling, if we're fine with the changes.
You know, for an agreement that the changes that were made by the Library of Congress.
Meet what we want to do. If not, maybe we will still make some changes or maybe we'll be just changes on the Discovery level but this is all stuff that will need to be discovered but yes that the work that I did most of it is no longer necessary on the
on the normal process side happening in Alma, but the discovery will be helpful for any Cz records that contain these, and if anything gets missed.
So, it's really was the purpose of the project was that maybe at some point we wouldn't need it. So that's not problematic it's just how we're going to move forward.
Next.
Great, thank you so much Maggie.
Great question.
Any other questions.
Right. Going once, going twice.
