Update on SUNY Survey:  Following our discussion at the last meeting, the idea of creating a disseminating a SUNY-wide survey was put on hold.  Some individual campuses are planning to create their own surveys.  Michelle and Esta are working on a survey that can be embedded in the extended services.  It was suggested that we can link to the surveys on Basecamp for reference purposes.   

CDI Two weeks into testing - there are still a lot of questions but the task force hopes to learn more as testing continues.   More information to come soon.   

Round Robin 
  • Discussion about a new enhancement that supports virtual browse with ebooks.  Erin mentioned that she has turned it on but it doesn't work for ebooks that were brought in from the CZ.  
  • Nancy demoed their custom canned browse by journal searches.
  • The ScienceDirect contract will end on December 31st.  There have been some discussions about how to provide access to articles if the contact is not renewed.  Reprints and unpaywall are two options.   
  • Jill has been testing the booking feature since they do not have a room reservation system.  On the Primo side, she is having some issues with the form because it requires a "minutes" field and Jill would prefer not to use minutes on the form.  Jill will follow up with SalesForce.  
  • Nancy wanted to give a special thanks to Amanda and Heidi for their work on the SUNY Libraries' button. See https://3.basecamp.com/3649838/buckets/2511260/messages/2115255265#__recording_2231247152
  • Still need an MC for next week's cafe Alma.  Let Michelle know if you are interested.
  • Heidi reported that the open url speed enhancements are an improvement
  • Rebecca has set up a chat widget in their Primo.  She will share it at next week's cafe alma.  

LSP Advisory Board
Marla will be sharing updates from the LSP Advisory group to the DWG.  We can also share questions/concerns with Marla to take back to the LSP advisory group.  The LSP Advisory group has been reviewing Reprints and unpaywall.  Michelle will be forming a task force to review the management of electronic resources centrally.
