The library is able to fund a one year pilot using Symplectic and "we're we’re hoping the AI Colleges will see investing in this as a better way of gathering a quality list of faculty publications than the current manual entry process. We're We’re going to start with a small test group @50 faculty to work through how to set things up, and then we're we’re hoping to do a full test late in the fall."
From CCB, CUL's Leah is helping to vet any 'must includes'‘must includes’.
Next steps, as of late June 2013:
Right now we're we’re assembling the stakeholders (which includes Oliver) and then there will be a slightly overlapping involvement of librarians (including Leah) and somehow everyone will get to see how the system works and will give us advice on how to set up some of the administrative components (who can edit, etc.). The librarians will provide some database expertise if necessary.
