ANNOUNCEMENTS: University Librarian Note
We are coming to the end of our strategic planning process, intended to establish our priorities for the next five years (2019-2023). The work of the Library Strategic Planning Team (LSPT) was superb, and I want to thank everyone for their contributions to that process and for their engagement with the retreat. I especially want to thank our chairs, Clara Chu, Merinda Hensley, and Jen-Chien Yu, for their leadership and their hard work. I will devote this month’s Dean’s Note to recapping where we are in the process, discussing next steps, and reminding everyone where they can find the work that’s been done to-date. Read more…

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Library Building Project Update – 7/1/2019
Tom Teper, Associate Dean for Collections and Technical Services

Committees and Working Groups – Programming the Main Library
Since the last update, the Programming WG has reviewed and evaluated the 50% plan document from the consultants, responding with clarifications and corrections based on our original needs list and our participation in the May planning exercises. We also plotted additional topics to discuss in future meetings such as anticipated service locations and profiles and the related impacts, and whether additional user data and information should be gathered by the group. Because all library staff have the ability to comment on the consultants planning documents, we look forward to reading individuals’ responses and thoughts on the plans and incorporating those into our discussions.

Kirstin (Dougan) Johnson is chairing the working group, and more information on the working group and its efforts can be found here: https://www.library.illinois.edu/staff/committee/the-library-as-catalyst-project-programming-the-main-library-building-wg/. Questions or comments can be directed to the group at any time.

Committees and Working Groups – Collections
Following the open forum held on May 21st, 2019, the Managing the Library’s Collections Working Group solicited additional input from members of the Library, receiving several email messages and additional communications before meeting with the campus-wide Library Consultation Working Group in order to discuss recommendations for the management of the collections.

Utilizing the input received and feedback from the Library Consultation Working Group, the Managing the Library’s Collections Working Group finalized its recommendations and submitted them to the Executive Committee on June 26, 2019.

More information on the working group and its efforts can be found here: https://www.library.illinois.edu/staff/committee/the-library-as-catalyst-project-managing-the-librarys-collections-wg/.

Committees and Working Groups – Special Collections Research Center (SCRC)
The Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) Working Group has continued meeting in preparation for working with our Programming and Conceptual Design firm. Subgroups focused on Exhibits and Outreach; Public Services; Environment and Storage; and Logistics and Operations have been pulling together data in support of the forthcoming consulting work.

The SCRC has then discussed some of the recommendations of the subgroups, and will be developing a cover memo to JLK and brightspot that incorporates some of the input received.

The framework under which these and other working groups directly associated with this project will work is posted here: https://www.library.illinois.edu/staff/committee/the-library-as-catalyst-project-a-framework-for-working-groups-and-input-solicitation/.

Committees and Working Groups – Library Consultation Working Group (Campus Level Cmte)
Members of the campus’ Library Consultation Working Group had an opportunity to review and comment on the 50% documents developed by JLK and brightspot following their onsite visioning sessions from May 14-16, 2019. The Working Group itself met weekly through the month of June, learning about the findings from several recent library assessment activities, discussing collections issues, and spending time discussing the 50% documents.

Stress Management Workshops
The Staff Development & Training Committee is sponsoring a stress management workshop series by Michele Guerra, Director of Campus Wellbeing Services. Michele provided an overview of the series at the March 13 Building Project Update and there has been interest expressed in bringing this workshop series to the Library.

Michele has offered to present each session twice, on the same day, to accommodate different schedules. A brief summary of each session is listed below, as well as the date and two times it is presented. Please register for each session you would like to attend (participation is limited to 25 participants per session). All are welcome!

Session 1: Getting a handle on stress, including identifying and analyzing your current coping tools and building an effective stress management toolbox

Offered Tuesday, June 4 at either 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. or 1:30 – 3:00 p.m.

Session 2: Learning to relax, which covers how stress affects you physically and how to select a relaxation technique(s) that work for you

Offered Tuesday, June 11 at either 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. or 1:30 – 3:00 p.m.

Contracts and Firms – Main Library
As noted in earlier updates, the University Library is working with an architectural firm to help with the programming activities. Chicago-based Johnson, Lasky, Kindelin (JLK) Architects is the approved firm, and they are working with a firm knows as BrightSpot Strategy to help the University Library and our campus partners to begin developing the program for the Library Building Project. More information on JLK Architects, including information on other projects they have helped develop, can be found on the company’s website: http://www.jlkarch.com/. BrightSpot Strategy’s website can be found here: https://www.brightspotstrategy.com/.

Following the March 14, 2019 kick-off meeting, activities have moved forward at a reasonable pace with JLK and brightspot personnel on-site to lead three days of visioning activities focused on the Main Library Building. These sessions took place on May 14 – 16, 2019, and follow-up calls/discussions have been held with members of project leadership and the firms on May 22^nd and 24^th. These Main Library Building-centered activities are occurring as part of the Validation, Programming, and Space Planning Activities in the schedule below. The Library received the 50% documents from JLK and brightspot in early June and responded with comments ten days later.

As you know from LibNews, the 75% drawings were recently received. A copy is available for review in 230 Main Library.

Contracts and Firms – Special Collections Research Center
As noted in previous updates, the Library anticipated establishing a contract with JLK and brightspot for the special collections building that would parallel the earlier process. That contract was established in early June and a kick off meeting was scheduled with JLK and brightspot representatives on June 19, 2019. Members of the Special Collections Research Center WG attended the call.

At present, an initial interview is being scheduled with that working group’s leadership in preparation for some broader discussions in the coming months.

Communications

Monthly Updates – As you know, there are now monthly updates about the Library Building Project distributed via LibNews. These will be posted in a separate section of LON. The intent of both is to ensure open communication of specific information related to the Library Building Project.
Quarterly Updates – The fourth Quarterly Update for the project was held on May 17, 2019. The fifth Quarterly Update is scheduled for September 9^th at 4:00. We anticipate that the live stream provided by the Media Commons will be available for this one as well.
Website – The Library Building Project has a website located at: https://www.library.illinois.edu/library-building-project/. Here you can read about the vision behind this program, seek answers to many of the Frequently Asked Questions that might arise, and read about upcoming events or project news. You can also submit additional questions to the project team at librarybuildingproject@library.illinois.edu.
ITHAKA Faculty Survey – The ITHAKA Faculty Survey has been completed. For those that are interested in viewing some of the feedback received as part of that survey or others conducted as part of Library Assessment, please go here: https://www.library.illinois.edu/staff/assessment/libsurv/.

Facilities Schedules
The assigned project coordinator from F&S is Dennis Craig. Dennis has been involved in numerous projects across the University Library. He also serves as the Campus Historic Preservation Officer and is serving on the feasibility study being conducted related to the instructional facility that may be situated adjacent to the Main Library as well as initial work related to the Special Collections Building.

As noted earlier, the University Library recently received approval to work with JLK Architects and BrightSpot Strategies. Based on the kick off date of March 14, 2019, the schedule below represents the most current estimated project timeline for this phase.

Library Redevelopment Plan Programming and Conceptual Design Study (U18083):

In addition to the Main Library Building project, Dennis Craig recently prepared a preliminary schedule for the first phase of the Special Collections Facility Programming Study. This schedule will be adjusted to accommodate changes in the project schedule, etc…. Presently, we anticipate seeing the completion date in mid-October 2019.

Undergraduate Library – Special Collections Facility Programming Study (U19112):

Long-Term Project Schedule
Following the completion of the initial Programming and Conceptual Design phase, the schedule below represents a best guess as to the project schedule through December 2024.

Library Redevelopment – Design/Bid/Build (U20XXX):

Outreach and Engagement

ANNOUNCEMENTS: ILS Coordination Report
Michael Norman, Discovery Services Librarian and ILS Coordinator

Activity over the past month (May 27 to June 18, 2019)
The ILS Coordination Team is busily testing the migration of our Voyager and SFX data into the Alma system. We received our Vanguard test instance of Alma on May 21^stand we are doing some initial testing and observation of the migration of data and how it mapped over into the structure of the Alma system. Good news. We did observe that most of the acquisitions, bibliographic records, holdings data, items data, SFX knowledgebase activations, Reserve items, Library patron information, items with circulation statuses, and library location information did migrate over successfully.

There were some issues with the migration of our data including:

Ex Libris use of a Master bibliographic record (pulled from the consortial Network Zone) that overrides some of our local versions of bibliographic records,
Representation of analyzed titles and boundwiths in both Alma and Primo,
Technical categories being assigned to all items in Voyager that have a status associated with it (In Process, Lost, Missing, At Bindery, etc.), and
Information normally recorded in the MFHD holding record not showing in the Primo discovery instance. We have identified our major pain points of the migration of our data over

On May 27^th, we also received a Vanguard Test version of the Library’s Primo instance. It is a completely different version from the previous Primo instance the Library had back in 2012 – 2014. It has a much different interface, a combined Ex Libris and ProQuest Central Index of collections that can be activated by the Library, and there are additional options in creating individual search scopes/profiles (for Catalog only search, WorldCat search, IDEALS and local digital collections, ProQuest Newspaper Collections search, Course Reserves, DataSets, and other possibilities). We have viewed that known–item search capabilities are improved. Relevancy ranking appears to be better than in the previous version with Primo now being able to search across various fields (author, title, publisher, pubdate, etc.) and bring the best matched to the top of results lists. We are looking forward to testing out the Primo and Alma APIs to incorporate searches into Easy Search Bento Discovery.

In our Primo instance, there was a mix up in the preliminary setup with Wikipedia references being activated as a collection pulled into the primary search scope, but this has been corrected recently and Ex Libris is exploring why it popped into our setup. We have activated several sources, including ProQuest Theses and Dissertations Global, Alexander Street Press collections, HathiTrust, and Biodiversity Heritage Library to see how well Primo integrates these collections with our local catalog and we have seen some difficulties with this as the ProQuest databases are performing full-text searches in these collections and these can tend to overwhelm and swamp our local catalog records. Also, our IDEALS collections were not migrated over during this Vanguard Test phase as anticipated and Ex Libris is examining why this did not occur.

The Vanguard Test Phase is winding down for the five I-Share libraries over the next few weeks. We will still have access to the Ex Libris Project Team and CARLI colleagues to help as we continue to test both Alma and Primo. We will have access to this Vanguard Test Phase instance of Alma and Primo through mid-October 2019. After several members of the ILS Coordination Team completes the Ex Libris certification process (by the end of June 2019), we will continue to experiment with the configuration of both systems to prepare for the 2^nd Test Phase to Alma/Primo implementation. The team will showcase Alma and Primo and demonstrate the new functionalities and capabilities of the systems to all in the Library over the next several months to prepare for the next Test Phase.

Here is a reminder of the overall timeline for the Library in the implementation of the new systems over the next year:

Discussion/Demonstration of Alma and Primo to Library Divisions
As part of the showcasing of Alma/Primo, members of the ILS Implementation Team will attend Division meetings over the next 2 months. Here is a meeting schedule with each Library Division:

Library-wide Information Sessions on Alma/Primo Implementation
The ILS Implementation Team will have three identical information sessions in late July and early August to give updates on the Vanguard Test Phase for the implementation of the Alma/Primo systems here in the Library and in the I-Share consortial libraries. During the current Vanguard Test Phase, we have had access to test instances of both Alma and Primo for about 3-4 weeks now and the Team is busily examining the migration of the Library’s Voyager and SFX data into the new systems and determining how all this maps over to the different structures in Alma/Primo. We have gained a good overview of the Alma/Primo systems and we are at a place where we want to give a preliminary introduction to the Library and showcase the functionalities of both systems.

The dates for the Alma/Primo Implementation sessions are:

Tuesday, July 23rd, 1 p.m. – 2 p.m. in Room 106
Tuesday, July 30th, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. in Room 106
Tuesday, August 6th, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. in Room 106

There will be many more information sessions in the Fall 2019 after we get access to the Library’s new instances of Alma and Primo during the Second Test Phase starting mid-October.

Recommended Testing of Third Party Integration
The ILS Coordination Team will start testing various 3^rd party programs and devices to interact with Alma and Primo. We are prioritizing these following systems to start with and continue to work on other services throughout the second test phase:

SIS (patron loader) in conjunction with campus
Barcode scanners
ID Card Readers
Spine-label printing
Circulation Desks printing
User printing
Financial System
Bursar System
