- If the decision to implement 2CUL Alma in 2015 goes forward, work together to develop and adjust workflows in the new system to maximize effectiveness for the integrated technical services operation. If the decision to implement 2CUL Alma is postponed beyond 2015, work together to develop and adjust workflows using our separate Voyager systems to the same end. Test and pilot new ideas, as appropriate, in consultation with staff from the Starr East Asian Library, the TSI JSMIN group, the TSI assessment leads, and other 2CUL functional areas (such as accounting and finance).
- Collaborate with TSI JSMIN, other TSI working groups and representatives from other 2CUL departments and divisions, as appropriate, to explore the further use of current labor-saving receiving methods such as shelf-ready and cataloging-on-receipt.
- Compile an inventory of all policies, practices, and workflows involving gift receiving activities at both institutions.
- Maintain an inventory of relevant expertise, as needed.
- Provide input for the creation of a space for shared TSI documentation. Edit and package existing and new monograph ordering receiving documentation for optimal use in this shared space (expected sometime in 2014), keeping in mind the eventual need to distinguish between 2CUL and locally specific guidelines.
- Provide assistance to the TSI Steering Committee in the form of feedback and, if necessary, data to measure the costs and benefits of all the preceding steps, plus any new 2CUL tasks or initiatives related to this charge. This evaluation will guide future decisions about the practicality of long-term integration of monograph receiving functions and initiatives.
- Communicate regularly with the 2CUL TSI Steering Committee, through the designated liaison with that group and/or through publicly posted meeting notes, reports, or other announcements.
