Shannon Pritting: Alright, so we'll get started, because we have, as always, quite a bit to cover.
Shannon Pritting: So, will you know feel free to type in the chat if you have any questions as as we get going.
Shannon Pritting: We can always stop in and discuss things and we'll leave time at the end as well.
Shannon Pritting: So it looks like you know our cadence for these is going to be more like six to eight weeks roughly if there's a lot more going on we'll we'll go back to.
Shannon Pritting: Four or five weeks, but you know it seems like it's working out relatively well to span them out to about 668 weeks right.
Shannon Pritting: So i'm just going to go through.
Shannon Pritting: Some some general changes with staffing etc, just to make sure everybody's up to speed, so we are very close to concluding an associate director of assists assessment and data analysis.
Shannon Pritting: fingers crossed that this person would start in you know late.
Shannon Pritting: late August, probably or mid August we'll see.
Shannon Pritting: So we're we're excited about that that's going to be a shared position between our services and Sunni library services so.
Shannon Pritting: it's you know, going to be working in both of those areas and will be, you know, we have some ideas for areas in in the library space that this person can do some data analysis and we certainly have lots of areas in our services where this person can make a direct impact.
Shannon Pritting: So ESTA has been.
Shannon Pritting: part time for quite some quite some time and.
Shannon Pritting: that's why we, we are shifting their role to an support analyst role so they'll still be working in collections.
Shannon Pritting: But just because ESTA has been part time myself and others have been working more and more in collections so with some of the shifts in my own duties that i'll talk about in just a minute.
Shannon Pritting: Maureen, who is the the new or newish associate director of Sunni library services is going to be working more closely with collections and both specific projects and that program going forward.
Shannon Pritting: So we've designated someone internally that we're going to formally fill the nz coordinator position by the you know end of 2022 early.
Shannon Pritting: making sure that we leave enough time for training and to shift some other duties off of that person's plate, but we will have.
Shannon Pritting: A full time permanent nz coordinator in early 2023 michelle's been filling in in the last couple of months, and will continue to do so over the next four or five months as well, so those are the main staffing updates, so the, the one that you know the big the big shift is changes in.
Shannon Pritting: The reporting structure at oldest so carrie hatch left suny system administration.
Shannon Pritting: To take the position as interim dean of the University of Albany libraries and then mark mcbride left suny for a position outside of Sunni.
Shannon Pritting: So that leaves me and the role of director of all this and then Maureen is taking on more sls responsibilities and.
Shannon Pritting: That means i'm also working in tsuneo vr services closely with corey and Tony and then the associate director is going to be connected the associate director of assessment and data analytics is going to be connected between Sunni library services and our services.
Shannon Pritting: So a little bit of a shift in the reporting structure and that now all this in our services and myself will be directly reporting to.
Shannon Pritting: Kim scales Oh, who is the director of the interim executive director of academic technologies and innovation.
Shannon Pritting: So she's been key and growing and establishing and growing Sunni online open Sunni was the director of cpd for for quite some time.
Shannon Pritting: And then Kim directly reports into the into the provost office so that's a little bit of a shift, and you know this is a draft is not reflecting any of the open positions that we may be filling but I didn't want to put positions that.
Shannon Pritting: You know, we don't have approval to fill, but we, we will be filling that associate director role as soon as we can hopefully hopefully we'll have that person on board relatively soon.
Shannon Pritting: Any questions about that anything with that, I mean I know carrie has been in suny a very, very long time and has been in his role for a very long time, even though it's changed, you know mark mark has been.
Shannon Pritting: The senior library strategist and oldest for a very long time and has moved us forward and a lot of ways we really appreciate all of his efforts, but just wanted to pause see if there's any questions anything I talked about with this restructuring.
Shannon Pritting: As things shift all or if things shift i'll let everybody know.
Shannon Pritting: Yes, Susan go ahead.
Susan Davis Bartl: Sorry, I can't I can't type that's why I have to talk.
Susan Davis Bartl: I started to type my question anyway, I sorry I didn't know that ESTA was part time so is everybody else a full time employee of sls.
Shannon Pritting: Yes, yes, yes.
Susan Davis Bartl: Okay yeah.
Susan Davis Bartl: In are you.
Susan Davis Bartl: director not interim director, just to be clear.
Shannon Pritting: um that's a great question.
Shannon Pritting: Okay i'm putting director, but.
Shannon Pritting: You know, perhaps there will be an interim director when things actually get formalized but.
Shannon Pritting: I haven't been told them interim director have been told them director so.
Shannon Pritting: I would say you.
Shannon Pritting: Know need.
Shannon Pritting: For apologies on on ESTA we've been sharing those collections duties for quite a long time, continue to ask us questions about collections, we have people.
Shannon Pritting: And you know sorry, as does is out sick today, but you know that they could speak for themselves if if they were here but we're taking a team based approach.
Shannon Pritting: More and more so, and that's why I figured it was a good time to talk about that because Maureen might be more involved or others in Sunni because.
Shannon Pritting: collections, is an extremely complicated area, and you know, especially like with the Sunni connect changes we're trying to make this as seamless as possible for people, so we are.
Shannon Pritting: We are.
Shannon Pritting: You know, bringing in other people from sls as well, so do continue to ask us questions, but just you know expected it might be somebody else.
Shannon Pritting: who's answering you.
Shannon Pritting: i'm Rebecca I.
Shannon Pritting: I know there are some changes coming with Sunni press but.
Shannon Pritting: Sunni press at some you know for some periods were reporting to carry but I really don't know.
Shannon Pritting: My my initial assumption on that is the Sunni press press will report directly to the provost office going forward but I don't you know I can't really speak specifically definitely to that to that will continue to.
Shannon Pritting: collaborate with Sunni press you know, there have been some good things with open access books and they helped with 64 Inc and you know it's been a good partnership.
Shannon Pritting: And I think that will continue, but I don't know where they will be on the reporting structure i'm assuming directly to the provost office.
Shannon Pritting: and any other questions.
Shannon Pritting: um so holly asked are you know the lead and Sunni library strategies in somewhat the way mark was and carry before him So yes, so i'm taking marks role and then also.
Shannon Pritting: Many of the duties that Kerry was taking on as well, so so short answer yes.
Shannon Pritting: Other questions.
Shannon Pritting: All right.
Shannon Pritting: Marina i'll turn it over to us a quick one for you right.
Maureen Clements: Yes, hi everybody thanks Shannon so i'm so i'm going to talk about the oclc Alma data sync issue.
Maureen Clements: I just want to do a very brief recap, of what the issue is so in some instances, the ftp job that seems to catalog records to Alma with oclc is failing.
Maureen Clements: And we know that ftp jobs fail occasionally and, in most cases the systems recognize that that failure occurred, so you can rerun the job.
Maureen Clements: However, we've encountered a couple instances well actually more than a couple what we've encountered instances where the ftp fail.
Maureen Clements: goes unrecognized by the systems and when the system can't recognize that job is failed you're not able to rerun the job.
Maureen Clements: And so, as a result, some of your records and Alma may not be fully synced with your oclc records, just a quick note this doesn't apply to cat express customers, so this is just for connection customers.
Maureen Clements: we've been working with both the vendors actually verse and oclc on this issue.
Maureen Clements: And we can't really prevent fails, but they are working to improve communication between the systems to identify want to fail occurs and i'm like.
Maureen Clements: let you know that, so we do expect there will be some improvements, this coming fall.
Maureen Clements: that's kind of on the slate so we'll keep everyone in the loop on the progress of that fixed and when those come through they can't really fix the fails, but they can fix the communication surrounding the fails.
Maureen Clements: And, in the meantime as a less has been working very hard to manually sync all of the records for everybody, so first what we're doing is we're identifying records that have been deleted from the system using analytics.
Maureen Clements: Then we're running batch updates and connection to remove the deleted records from oclc and then, once that batch delete is complete, where we running the full publishing profile to sync all of those records.
Maureen Clements: we've completed an initial thinking process for all the extended support and fully managed campuses and we are also doing.
Maureen Clements: This initial sinking process for other Sunni schools, who want to opt in so we have an opt in form i'm putting it in the chat right now, so you can access it for those who might not have filled out that form yet.
Maureen Clements: um we've done 16 we've had 18 schools reach out, we were almost completed with the schools that have actually requested opt in for those schools, who prefer So if you do want to opt in please do so, be happy to do that work for you just click on that link and fill that out.
Maureen Clements: And for those schools, who would prefer to run the job themselves, we also have a webinar that we did back in care remember July June 15 I forget and i'm having that link into the chat as well, so you can get all the information you need on how to run that job.
Maureen Clements: All right, great Thank you so much.
Shannon Pritting: So I just wanted to.
Shannon Pritting: speak a little bit about this i've been sending out emails about.
Shannon Pritting: Research data management, so there, there are groups in the provost office, the office of research.
Shannon Pritting: Innovation and economic development, so or read that are looking at.
Shannon Pritting: preparedness for new NIH research data management requirements and then seeing what the impact is, and you know, trying to see what what's possible in this area so.
Shannon Pritting: i'm i'm sending messages out trying to get gather information, bringing that back to the Research Foundation and and this new office and i'm going to try to have more of a in depth conversation of the July 27 scholarly communications group meeting.
Shannon Pritting: And there are some other security requirements, but I think that really only would affect probably University of buffalo and maybe one one or two other campuses but it's mostly the NIH requirements that are important.
Shannon Pritting: And you know, I just want to say this is something that we're just doing the investigation see what we can do to guide campuses I know.
Shannon Pritting: At least some emails that were forwarded to me through different channels, it seems like there's there's there's perhaps some concern that there's a major initiative going but it's it's just us trying to communicate.
Shannon Pritting: Because NIH is making these these new requirements so just to see what what exists and and help share that between campuses and I do know that there are other things going on that i'll be bringing out to the campuses from this new office of research and innovation and economic development.
Shannon Pritting: So as as these come up i'll do my best to make sure i'm sharing it out as widely as I, as I possibly can, and anything that.
Shannon Pritting: The campuses are interested in being involved in will work as a as a connector with that office but we'll try to keep you as up to date on what that what that group is doing as possible.
Shannon Pritting: All right, i'm going to turn it over to Cory Cory.
Shannon Pritting: Go for it.
Cori Wilhelm: Okay, so we have been working to develop and we are excited to launch a leadership and management certificate program through the Sunni Center for professional development on details are just being finalized, but it should be launched this fall.
Cori Wilhelm: And so, basically we heard a lot of feedback from libraries that.
Cori Wilhelm: This was something that was needed, I think we've seen a lot of transition all over Sunni and the past few years, and people are often kind of thrust into leadership roles, maybe without.
Cori Wilhelm: Having some of these skills or maybe they're mid career folks.
Cori Wilhelm: Looking to develop the skills to move forward, so we will be.
Cori Wilhelm: Like I said launching this program in the fall, there will be.
Cori Wilhelm: A number of classes, I think that will be in the next slide and we'll have an advisory board made of some of our Sunni library leaders.
Cori Wilhelm: will help review the program and advise us in its development to kind of go forward So these are the courses we're hoping to launch and, as you can see some are focused specifically on leadership and management and some are a little bit more specific to functional areas in libraries.
Cori Wilhelm: And participants will take number of courses.
Cori Wilhelm: I guess not that not necessarily it from either from either track and to earn their certification so we're hoping that this certification will take about a year on the courses will be.
Cori Wilhelm: Throughout the fall winter and spring, but it is still a little bit in in production so we'll see if you want to go fortunate.
Cori Wilhelm: um so we had to spotlight on suny libraries this spring, we had sessions on embedded librarianship a student Advisory Board and one shot instruction sessions were really hoping to continue it for the fall.
Cori Wilhelm: semester, I think it was pretty successful and we had really good participation, so if you or someone in your library is doing something interesting or successful.
Cori Wilhelm: Or has an idea that you want to pitch just get a hold of me I would love to schedule, you were starting to fill up the schedule for the fall, so please reach out if it's something you're interested in.
Cori Wilhelm: And then I have started meeting individually with library directors and chairs throughout the summer I did meet with quite a few in the spring, it was mostly Community colleges, that I started with.
Cori Wilhelm: So I will be following up with the spring folks but also adding in as many of the other campuses as we can and, basically, I want to touch base and see how things are going.
Cori Wilhelm: If you've got staffing changes in your library or your campus talk about where we are and how all your reporting specifically is going on your campus.
Cori Wilhelm: different initiatives professional development offerings that might be applicable to your team or your faculty and basically how we can support you, so I will be reaching out.
Cori Wilhelm: To directors, but if you haven't heard from me and you want to set up a time reach out at my email, but you should be hearing from me sometime in the summer.
Cori Wilhelm: and go forward.
Cori Wilhelm: And then we have mentioned this before, but we really want to make sure everyone is aware of it through lumen circles which is.
Cori Wilhelm: offered through studying or services and cpd.
Cori Wilhelm: lumen circles our faculty communities of practice where faculty participate for nine weeks, and you know go through the experience together try to develop skills and reflect on them.
Cori Wilhelm: In their current teaching practices and there are a number of them available for faculty certainly reach out if you haven't heard of this or, if you want to you know send info to your faculty but they developed a inclusive and i'm.
Cori Wilhelm: Sorry it's called blogging and inclusive teaching practices circle last year, and it was really popular with teaching faculty, but it was aimed at people who were currently teaching.
Cori Wilhelm: And so we asked them if they could possibly develop something for the rest of us, and so this is a self paced course.
Cori Wilhelm: It is intended for anyone who's student facing so that means Librarians library staff instructional designers anyone else in your campus who is interested in kind of bolstering their skill set in di.
Cori Wilhelm: And the current self paced course is ending actually in a couple weeks July 31, but they will be relaunching it.
Cori Wilhelm: And they say it should take about five weeks to complete but self paced so you know if you need to.
Cori Wilhelm: Fast Track it, you can, or if you need to spread it out over a little longer, you can um, but it is currently free to all Sunni people Sunni faculty and staff so definitely take advantage of it, the links there, and if you have any questions just reach out to me.
Cori Wilhelm: And Susan.
Susan Perry: Thanks corey.
Susan Perry: Okay, so it's Lars season and.
Susan Perry: Everyone at a State upgrade campus knows that this report is required of us on a very tight deadline so.
Susan Perry: i've been coordinating it for.
Susan Perry: The past two years, and so far I have reached out to everyone who is affected by this report, if you think you are, and you haven't heard from me please send me a note at our ticketing system info at SLC and why.
Susan Perry: The next phase is, I will be reaching out to you to see if you have finished your fiscal year entries if you've done your rollover and are ready for the reports to be run.
Susan Perry: And i've already received a couple submissions so it's great that some people are already checking it off their list so.
Susan Perry: I think that's it unless there are any questions.
Susan Perry: And the other piece of Lars is a separate survey that was done for shelf space and again those requests have already gone out, you would have received an email from TIM, and if you have any questions about that you can send us a ticket as well.
Susan Perry: So thanks very much.
Michelle Eichelberger: hey everyone can go ahead Shannon.
Michelle Eichelberger: This slide was actually in last month's update, but I left it in just as a reminder that there will be an update to the version of angular that is used by all my and Primo in November so here's some information about it, there was a webinar last week about it and i've been.
Michelle Eichelberger: Checking daily to see if the recording is posted anywhere and I haven't seen it yet, but do keep an eye out for that you can go on to the next slide.
Michelle Eichelberger: A couple of resource management updates.
Michelle Eichelberger: We did activate the new diversity ebook package for everyone, and I know the rollout was a little bit rocky, but I think it's working for everyone if not definitely do submit a ticket to us and we'll look into it for you, but.
Michelle Eichelberger: It should be all set, we did not get any information about why things weren't turned on immediately, but we're just happy that everything is working now.
Michelle Eichelberger: We did remove all of the packages that were removed from suny connect for places where it made sense to do so, I know that some of the campuses did.
Michelle Eichelberger: contract with debs go directly to keep some of those so we left those alone, if that was the case.
Michelle Eichelberger: There was a recent update to the ABS go stands for easy proxy, so I would recommend that you update your sands's if your self hosted for easy proxy.
Michelle Eichelberger: I posted recently about Avon our plan is to manage the CZ package centrally for everyone, and the reason for this is because everyone's going to get the same content.
Michelle Eichelberger: You will be able to purchase titles throughout the year, they give you a handful of things you can keep permanently so those were going to want to manage at the campus level, so we figured it made sense to.
Michelle Eichelberger: renee will will put a link to it, we don't want to put the whole thing in the chat but thanks for asking it's on the oclc stands up website.
Michelle Eichelberger: Anyway, back to Avon we're going to manage the main package centrally, I will be getting the ids for everyone, probably that week before we go live in July.
Michelle Eichelberger: And again you'll want to do you know your own local titles you'll be keeping locally in Alma if you choose to do that, I will put out more information about that one I have it.
Michelle Eichelberger: we're working with pro quest to see if there's an easy way to kind of batch load those titles titles it's not looking like that's the case but luckily it's.
Michelle Eichelberger: Not a ton of Titles So hopefully it's not that big a deal to manage them manually.
Michelle Eichelberger: There have been some questions about when you're going to get access to the admin when this is all getting turned on.
Michelle Eichelberger: The package itself goes live on August 1 and purposes, said that they will send out a welcome email to all of the campuses the last week in July and that's where you'll get your account information links to the admin portal.
Michelle Eichelberger: All of those kinds of things.
Michelle Eichelberger: So stay tuned to base camp and I will post more details as we get them thanks very much.
Shannon Pritting: Alright, and i'm going to fill in for Esther today so.
Shannon Pritting: We we did.
Shannon Pritting: Susan my understanding is no you won't get a new admin account if you're an existing customer.
Shannon Pritting: So we do have an a large contract with pro quest that was part of the invitation for bids that was recently completed.
Shannon Pritting: And we've been processing renewals and new additional subscriptions as campuses move into those so those should be complete, let us know if there's any questions.
Shannon Pritting: And then in in mid to late August we're going to start looking at the J store renewal and some more information about Jay store coming up in a little bit as well.
Shannon Pritting: let's see.
Shannon Pritting: So just reiterating what what Michelle was saying access starts for Avon pro quest should be sending that information out so if you're not getting something by August 1 if you don't know where your admin is just send us a ticket and we can escalate that with with a pro quest.
Shannon Pritting: It may be something that they have a different person as the contact, so you know, there might be might be a few hiccups there just with coordinating all of this, but we'll get it resolved as soon as we can.
Shannon Pritting: And then, Michelle indicated the the new ebook di package is activated and should be good with campuses.
Shannon Pritting: As we speak.
Shannon Pritting: So a major.
Shannon Pritting: Someone someone will post the title list for the Di package.
Shannon Pritting: So we've been having discussions with with Ithaca who coordinates art store and Jay store about expanding access for all Sunni institutions to all J store collections so Jay store has been or Ithaca has been a very generous over the last couple of years.
Shannon Pritting: Giving expanded access to all J store collections and that's going to end in roughly a year, so what we're really looking to do is to.
Shannon Pritting: Keep that access moving forward for all sunni's and you know we understand that there isn't much new money, and what we're looking at is to keep costs as flat as possible, so that it would be a massive expansion of access to campuses and access to content.
Shannon Pritting: By doing this long term agreement so.
Shannon Pritting: we're just waiting for Ithaca to be ready to engage more deeply on us on this with us we've been involving the SEC in these discussions or and keeping them informed and we will be.
Shannon Pritting: letting everybody know as this as this project moves forward, but this seems one where it's it, you know, should be a high priority, because almost no Sunni schools have.
Shannon Pritting: Large groups of collections, and this will greatly expand our access to Jay store and not you know what we're what we're looking at is flat costs with what we're currently paying so it seems a win, win for everyone involved any questions on that.
Shannon Pritting: So Susan I knew, you would ask the complicated question i'm just kidding but um we are the this is access based is what we're currently thinking about but.
Shannon Pritting: The some of the proposals that Jay store gave us with the if be were extremely aggressive and you know, a very good deal to purchase access and.
Shannon Pritting: In you know if you don't know what i'm talking about with this so with Jay store, you can purchase collections, so that you don't have to pay any fee going forward.
Shannon Pritting: So we will explore that and see if it's something that we can make happen, and you know if it's possible that we can.
Shannon Pritting: end up purchasing the JCR content so in how many every years we have no fees for J store will try to do that, but you know that's why we're leaving a fair amount of time is you know see if we can get something that's even better than than what's been proposed, but.
Shannon Pritting: So so yeah so.
Shannon Pritting: Great question what we're looking at right now is just access but we haven't ruled out purchase of J store content but.
Shannon Pritting: We will keep everybody abreast of that as we, as we move forward what what Esther and I are doing now, though, is since we think it's a good good likelihood that this will move forward.
Shannon Pritting: There are, I think 1314 campuses who have no J store access at this point so we're reaching out to those campuses and saying all you have to do is subscribe to one collection for the next year, and you get all access to the expanded collections.
Shannon Pritting: Which is is a big win and typically we don't suggest campuses do that so that you're getting you know your users used to subscriptions you can't sustain but.
Shannon Pritting: You know, this would just get another year of expanded access to Jay store for a very low price and then you know when we move into an all soon ej store.
Shannon Pritting: you'll be able to continue that that same expanded access so for 14 campuses you're definitely going to be hearing something from us about this because.
Shannon Pritting: You know, for for for many campuses it's a very low amount of money to get all in access to jace or for the next year as we transition to an all Sunni Sunni deal.
Shannon Pritting: So we we also you know we're trying to learn our lessons of what vendors will will give us as far as offers and where there are opportunities to vastly expand access with minimal additional spending or slight shifting of.
Shannon Pritting: collections dollars, so we know that repeatedly, we will get offered high high discount so sometimes you know paying 5% of what it would cost to get or 4% of what it would cost to get access to all 64 ebooks.
Shannon Pritting: And you know this, this is something that I also want to take some time to work through get the right pricing models, make sure we're socializing it with a various amount of you know a lot of different stakeholders.
Shannon Pritting: So that we can add into Sunni connect an e book collecting program because we can vastly expand access to ebooks and you know we just want to do it in a way, where.
Shannon Pritting: it's not seen as infringing on local collecting we're not taking over things that we're doing it in the way that that that is seen as a benefit to the most groups that we can that we can get and that's why we're taking time to have meetings with sectors.
Shannon Pritting: we've kept SEC informed of this and you know, this is an example of.
Shannon Pritting: You know the I guess evolving relationship between oldest sls and the SLC in that sls is telling the SLC group.
Shannon Pritting: The idea but we're doing the coordination and we will, you know as long as SLC still exists, we will keep coming back to inform.
Shannon Pritting: Or if something new forums in between now and when this ebook collection moves forward we'll make sure that we are getting appropriate input on this collection so.
Shannon Pritting: I don't have something or we don't have something specific of we're going after this collection what we're trying to do is develop a program where we're getting the highest return on our investment for.
Shannon Pritting: ebook purchasing well also not infringing on local ebook collecting activities as much as we possibly can, and any questions on that and you're going to hear about it a lot from us.
Shannon Pritting: Hopefully we we don't overwhelm you with communication on this, but we're taking our time to gather input to scope this appropriately and get the right oversight setup.
Shannon Pritting: All right, over to TIM.
Timothy Jackson: Right Thank you Shannon if you can move on to the next slide please.
Timothy Jackson: Alright Hello everyone um So the first thing I want to let you all know about is that the August 2022 Alma release will contain a new interface for all the resource sharing request lists i'm.
Timothy Jackson: Working fortunately you will have to opt in to using this new interface, and you won't have to opt in.
Shannon Pritting: In August.
Timothy Jackson: So we will have some time.
Timothy Jackson: To to get used to this change what I plan to do is as soon as it's available i'm going to start testing it, I will start updating faqs to reflect the new interface also conduct a few webinars.
Timothy Jackson: To help you all have learned to use this new interface i'm i'm hoping to do that early in the fall 22 semester.
Timothy Jackson: So please keep an eye out for information about that um I don't know a ton about the new interface, you can see a screen capture of it here, I took this from.
Timothy Jackson: The extra press release notes for August, one thing I can say that it's very similar to the interface that i've seen when i've been working with places like Ithaca and Brandeis who have.
Timothy Jackson: adopted rapid oh so it's looking like they're trying to standardize the requesting interface between regular all my resource sharing and rapid oh so again this change is coming in August 2022.
Timothy Jackson: You will not have to opt in immediately, I actually I would recommend not doing that, until i've had an opportunity to kick the tires on this update some faqs and then schedule a few webinars next slide please Shannon.
Timothy Jackson: I also just want to give you all, an update on where things stand with expanding Alma resource sharing beyond the suny system we currently plan to go live with Alma resource sharing between Sunni and canisius College on Monday July.
Timothy Jackson: 25 can you choose will be both borrowing from us and lending to us via Alma.
Timothy Jackson: So it'll be a very already have established with the ethical college, so we are assuming that any libraries were already doing all the based research sharing with the College will also want to do on the based resource sharing with tenacious.
Timothy Jackson: If For those of you were conditioned isn't ringing a bell they are there in buffalo and they are on eld.
Timothy Jackson: So it's not like they're an out of state library or anything um it'll really be you know, an identical scenario to what's already happening with Ithaca college.
Timothy Jackson: So, like I said we're going to assume that if you are already doing research sharing with ethical you will want to do all my based research sharing with Confucius as well, if you would like to opt out, please let us know.
Timothy Jackson: And once we are officially live with Confucius I will post something to base camp and again.
Timothy Jackson: you're not going to have to do any configuration we're cord learn any new workflows i'll take care of all of the configuration for this, and again the workflow will be identical to what we're already doing with Ithaca college.
Timothy Jackson: Also on Monday July 25 oh Shannon if you could go back.
Timothy Jackson: Also on Monday July 25 we plan to finally go live with an Alma based research sharing pilot project with the Washington research library consortium.
Timothy Jackson: The participants on our end will be Albany buffalo in stony brook the participants on the wr lc end will be American university George Washington university and marymount university.
Timothy Jackson: So it'll be pretty limited at first, but we are hoping that you know granted this is successful.
Timothy Jackson: We will be able to expand participation, both on the WRC side and on the suicide so For those of you from Albany buffalo and stony brook I will be keeping you posted on how things are going and.
Timothy Jackson: I will so just keep an eye out for emails from me about this initiative and lastly.
Timothy Jackson: I had last week, I had to make a minor change to the oma resource sharing partner we're using for Brandeis university.
Timothy Jackson: On the change was to their ISO code and it was to help facilitate something they were trying to do with a consortium in Canada.
Timothy Jackson: And they needed their ISO code to be formatted it in a very specific manner for this project, the Canadian library, so I had to also update it on our end.
Timothy Jackson: This shouldn't produce any noticeable changes on our end well i've been keeping an eye out for things I haven't noticed any problems, but if you do end up noticing anything odd with a Brandeis request that i've missed, please do let me know.
Timothy Jackson: Next slide is Shannon.
Timothy Jackson: I just want to also give you an update on how things are going with the E book io pilot project as of last week we had filled 363 requests.
Timothy Jackson: users from 32 campuses have borrowed ebooks and 17 campuses have loan their ebooks to other cities there's a disparity there because i'm a good number of the borrowing libraries don't have any titles that are eligible for lending.
Timothy Jackson: Our top five borrowers are Albany ESC fit new paltz and binghamton our top five lenders.
Timothy Jackson: buffalo binghamton Hudson valley ESC in new paltz and those those haven't really changed since the last time we did one of these so that's that's staying pretty consistent, you know who are big borrowers and our big lenders over.
Timothy Jackson: I also want to thank everyone for completing the recent future of ebook I ll survey that I sent out.
Timothy Jackson: Generally speaking, campuses are interested in continuing with ebook I ll and they are willing to devote staff resources to processing requests.
Timothy Jackson: If we are able to find a way to transmit these requests in Alma instead of using a live wizard request form and our live answers account like we're currently are.
Timothy Jackson: But one thing campuses aren't willing to do is to pay more to make their ebooks lendable so that's good information to have.
Timothy Jackson: I will be sharing some of this information with Whitney Murphy from pro quest to help her.
Timothy Jackson: As she's negotiating for ebook ILO rights with vendors um I do have, or I will have some additional follow up questions for all of you who are participating.
Timothy Jackson: i'm currently working with Whitney on you know, trying to figure out what information would be the most helpful to her during these negotiations with the vendors.
Timothy Jackson: i'm currently whitney's on vacation mom but once she's back i'm going to talk to her about that, and I will be sending out some follow up questions to everyone who's participating in this pilot project so again.
Timothy Jackson: Thank you for filling out the survey and keep an eye out for a follow up email from me and one other thing that came up a lot during the survey.
Timothy Jackson: Is there there's a lot of interest in seeing request lists for like campus is wanting to see lists of books that their users have borrowed or lists of books that they have longed to other soon.
Timothy Jackson: Unfortunately, the way that we're handling these requests.
Timothy Jackson: All of that email or all of that information ends up being stored just in the bodies of emails in our live answer system so it's really, really hard for us to produce lists of requests for specific campuses.
Timothy Jackson: But fortunately Winnie Murphy, on a monthly basis sends us a spreadsheet that shows.
Timothy Jackson: All of our ebook I ll transactions on that spreadsheet lists all of the bibliographic information, the identity of the borrowing library, the identity of the lending library.
Timothy Jackson: As well as some usage statistics like how many times the loan was accessed how often the loan was accessed or how long the loan was accessed when it was accessed.
Timothy Jackson: Unfortunately it's you know manually creating individual lists for campuses and then manually distributing those lists would be really, really time consuming for us.
Timothy Jackson: So, to give libraries access to information on the titles that they're borrowing and lending what we're going to start doing is when I post our Alma resource sharing statistics.
Timothy Jackson: To base camp on a monthly basis i'm going to start, including this file that we're receiving from Whitney.
Timothy Jackson: um so you'll all be able to download that file and then filter it by the titles, that you have either borrowed for the titles that you want um.
Timothy Jackson: And again, that that spreadsheets going to include title information and then also the identity of the borrowing library, the lending library some you should statutes.
Timothy Jackson: One thing it's not going to contain is any personally identifying information about your users, so we won't be sharing that publicly, but the rest of it, we will be posting to base camp on beginning when I start when I post our August statistics.
Timothy Jackson: On that's everything I had about ebook Aiello Shannon could you move to the next slide Thank you.
Timothy Jackson: So Lastly, I just wanted to give you an update on what's happening with our courier contract just a reminder that our current contract with empire library delivery expires in July 2023.
Timothy Jackson: So the eld Advisory Board is already working on the next contract and there is Sunni representation on that board i'm on it.
Timothy Jackson: And there are also a few other folks from individual campuses who are on it um we've also created a Sunni courier Task Force internally to help us determine.
Timothy Jackson: How we want to participate in the shared career going forward, and we have representation from I think 11 campuses on this task force.
Timothy Jackson: In the test force is currently working with Maria but they get tino from Iceland on identifying possible service options, because one thing that's come out of the conversations.
Timothy Jackson: That we've had already is that you know historically all of Sunni has been required to have five day elt service.
Timothy Jackson: And that may possibly be changing once we establish the new contract, so the task force is talking to Maria about possible service options and then, once we've identified the possible things that we could do with eld.
Timothy Jackson: We are going to send out a survey to get input from all of the campuses on these options.
Timothy Jackson: We will also schedule a few webinars on these potential career changes for the fall semester so you'll have option you'll have opportunities to give us feedback and ask questions.
Timothy Jackson: So there will be a lot of information being shared about these potential changes to our eld service.
Timothy Jackson: In our goal is to make a final decision about how we want to manage the courier internally by the end of the fall 2022 semester.
Timothy Jackson: um there is another change with eld coming up that's how the main contract is being handled but i'm going to hand it over to Shannon so he can talk about that.
Shannon Pritting: yeah, I just wanted to give some context of where the task force came from and who's been involved, so the access services and resource sharing working group.
Shannon Pritting: Still functions and exists as an SLC working group but we've sls has communicated with them at length about this and created this task force that they're.
Shannon Pritting: You know recommendation, but we've not had larger SLC input, so if someone were to ask me who's Task Force is that I would probably say this is an sls with SLC as a communication channel to the srs at least so just wanted to clear that up and we'll continue this on over the next year.
Shannon Pritting: And what TIM and I are doing with this task force and marines off also involved we're pulling data points together, giving information to the group connecting them with the empire state library network who manages the courier contract.
Shannon Pritting: To make sure that all stakeholders are engaged communicated with and will continue to try to you know do that communication.
Shannon Pritting: Because it does take a year and a half 18 months out from when the renewal is and we're at that point, so we needed to take action.
Shannon Pritting: So, the one thing that we've been discussing at length with the empire state library network is the changing nature of.
Shannon Pritting: The courier business and also the amount of time and overhead it takes for a Sunni wide contract to be executed, so that we can pay as Lynn and it's a substantial amount of money and we always pay them one year after that, after we get the service so.
Shannon Pritting: Since the courier the courier business is is getting more and more challenging I don't think it's going to get better with.
Shannon Pritting: increased prices and less and less competition for for library business.
Shannon Pritting: They don't want to do longer contracts, and if we continue to do a Sunni wide contract, they will be, you know, in essence, on the hook, for a large amount of money and always paid.
Shannon Pritting: A year behind and there's absolutely no way that we can speed that process up there are too many regulation agencies involved for us to get a central contract any faster than then we already do so as Lynn decided.
Shannon Pritting: That you know, it was in their best interest to not have a Sunni central contract, I agree with their decision.
Shannon Pritting: I think it's it's unfair of us and the campuses to ask, as lend to you know to to pay that much money.
Shannon Pritting: upfront and not get it for an entire year, and they need to be much more flexible in how they approach contracts with the courier going forward so.
Shannon Pritting: will be communicating this out repeatedly over the next year, but this will be something that will be moving out of the Sunni connect recharge.
Shannon Pritting: And you will be direct build for the courier service from either your regional library Council or as Lynn moving forward in a in a full year, so you have a long time to prepare this.
Shannon Pritting: All of you are doing business with either your regional library Council or azlan as a whole, so this isn't going to be a new vendor.
Shannon Pritting: it's not something that soon he's trying to shirk responsibility of holding a contract it just doesn't make sense for us to do this, the way that we've been doing it for the past 1518 years any questions on that.
Shannon Pritting: you'll hear more about this, we will repeat this over the next year, so that it should not be a surprise to anybody.
Shannon Pritting: Okay.
Shannon Pritting: take it away.
Shannon Pritting: Thank you.

Yvonne Kester (she/they): Of str to find content that might more.
Yvonne Kester (she/they): might be more suited for sore we are in the process of defining more clearly what types of content will go in each repository so as I, as I gather that data i'll be reaching out to campus about campuses about migrating more content from str in the future.
Yvonne Kester (she/they): hmm.
Yvonne Kester (she/they): And recently I started a base camp community of practice for institutional repository managers, at the request of people.
Yvonne Kester (she/they): it's a place for repository administrators at campuses to post questions share ideas on content management workflows soliciting content from faculty or whatever they're concerned about talking about.
Yvonne Kester (she/they): it's also a place to share announcements regarding sore and str if you would like to join, please just send the request to influence with me the answers.

Michelle Eichelberger: carrie I would just say that you're welcome to submit a request to us and we'll see what we can do we'd be happy to help.
Shannon Pritting: We haven't hit a point where we have more requests than we can handle but you know if we do hit the point where we have far more requests than we can handle we would likely use number of campuses subscribing as the.
Shannon Pritting: The deciding factor, but certainly if there's something that your campus doesn't have the capacity to review.
Shannon Pritting: And it's something unique that two or you know, not a lot of campuses have put in a put in a request and we'll do it again.
Shannon Pritting: Other questions comments.
Shannon Pritting: Okay, all right, give one last call.
