Just to "document" our discussion, I'm sending you my list of actions that
will occupy our next few weeks:
1. Two Libraries question -- although we're pretty much certain that we
don't need this, Ellen will test out the invoice default possibilities to
help us think about whether having one library (and one set of defaults)
will hinder operators in either monog. or serials invoicing functions.
2. Account number group - Sheelah will reconvene this group to look again
at the structure of the funds for serials. We'll also look at all funds,
assuming we will use one library to see how they should be differentiated.
3. Training - Charlene will begin training Bruce, Roger, and Aida over the
next two weeks, with assistance from Christine. Ellen will continue the
training sessions she has been doing.
4. Testing - we'll verify what the Testing Group is actually going to do,
but in the meantime, Ellen and Buddy will try out their idea of using the
manual pages for documentation, so the testing group can advise them on
whether or not this will be acceptable. Marilyn will e-mail Grant with the
question about the role of the group and ask for clarification.
5. Monog. Series choices - Ellen and Marilyn will look at the impacts
list Ellen has drafted from the choices that seemed possible after the
discussions with Matt. Ellen will make up some sample records to relfect
each scenario.
6. Jennifer will notify CMG that we have 6 weeks of ordering time, given
the rough timetable worked out in BOG with Matt earlier in the day. That
would put cutoff for sending orders to SAS on May 15, with most of two
weeks to finish ordering, receiving and paying as much as possible before
year end and data migration.
7. Donna will set up a few tracking funds so Jennifer can experiment.
8. Marilyn will send out signature forms to collection managers as soon as
we've got an idea of the fund number structure. We've got the ones for
monographs already, but none for serials.
9. Marilyn will contact Grant with the reminders of the priority for 1.
running a report with data for just one of the problem accounts in both
GLIS and Advance so Donna can examine 2. running canned reports for acq,
funds, and ser so we can begin talking about workflow 3. assign
passwords for individuals on ACQ2 and testers and 4. eventually need to
see check request and find out if special programming is needed.
We'll continue to meet every Thursday, 3:30-5 in LCR.
