Michelle agreed to take meeting notes.
We reviewed action items from 2/3; all prior commitments had been completed.
SHAER portal & Bibliographer needs for data: We are interested in creating a culture shift to make "data literacy" a core skill. Currently SHAER plans to show each bibliographer how to add the widget and where to see the usage data on the Alma front screen.
3-day Loan Code: Spruill requested that the EOC reinstate the 3-day loan within Alma. It is needed for existing technology loans and would work within the new framework that is being established for technology lending being worked on by an RTL working group. "Technology" will be made another Fulfillment unit in Alma/Primo, with the Tech loaning locations listed, and the 3-day item loan would be associated with this Fulfillment unit. The 3-day loan code will only be appropriate for tech loans.
--Spruill will update the wiki page that lists the Item Policies that are active and those that are superceded, along with their mapping chart to show how former loan codes are mapped to active.
--Laura will have a Fulfillment unit created.
Establishing terms for Working Group members: EOC supports two-year terms with staggered terms and with the LTS members as ex officio/co-chairs.
--We will plan to host a meeting with all the working groups to review highlights with each other of what groups are working on and what would benefit from communicating across the WGs.
--Suzanne will ask Victoria to find a late-April date that works with the EOC membership's calendar
--We will also host an open meeting for the larger Harvard Alma community; we can use above meeting to help plan agenda.
--Laura will contact Corinna to answer her question regarding WG terms
We spent the remainder of the meeting reviewing the "Requests To Be Prioritized by the Alma Executive Committee" section of the Project List. We updated a few entries with newer information. LTS currently has no capacity to take on any additional projects, so EOC did not prioritize any new projects. Suzanne suggested that we make note of any projects that will help BD and ReCAP shared functionality and so that those can be first up when there is capacity.
General Updates:
- HL is hiring a project manager to manage our involvement in the ReCAP and BD Shared Index project. Both projects are moving forward soon.
- A ReCAP FAQ has been written and approved by CCDSC.

We reviewed action items from 1/6
Scott and Michelle have initiated the process to bring the FAST headings discussion to D2D.
Michelle determined there was no need to submit an Alma Support Request detailing requirements for 920 addition to loaded vendor records as the need will be met through a local solution.
Laura will have LTS close the Development Library in Alma.
Michelle communicated our prior meeting decisions to the Google Books Discovery and Access WG
We spent the remainder of the meeting reviewing the Project List
At our next EOC meeting, we will review the 'Requests To Be Prioritized by the Alma Executive Committee' list.
January 6, 2020
The EOC reviewed and discussed recommendations from the Google Books Discovery & Access WG report. EOC agreed to move forward as follows:
Recommendations 1 – 4: These recommendations require similar work and can be looked at as a project. LTS will review requirements and scope work for project prioritization. LTS has begun work updating inventory (recommendation 4) for items sent in most recent scanning phase.
Recommendation 5: As there is no source for this data from google, the EOC does not approve this recommendation.
Recommendation 6: The EOC will refer this recommendation to D2D for prioritization
Recommendation 7: The EOC believes this recommendation needs further analysis after the new Hathi user interface is released. LTS work to update GLIB related scripts would be needed. This will be referred to D2D for prioritization when new Hathi UI is available.
Recommendation 8: The EOC will further discuss this recommendation at the February meeting.
