In fall 2020, the Systemwide Integrated Library System (SILS) Shared Governance Task Force (SGTF) developed and secured endorsement of its proposed UC Libraries Advisory Structure (UCLAS)-integrated SILS organizational chart from both the SILS Working Group and Council of University Librarians (CoUL); this chart served as the basis for the SILS governance and operations model presented herein.
In order to prepare for a smooth transition from the phase 4 SILS governance and operations structure to the UCLAS-integrated SILS structure, a Transition Task Force is being charged by the SILS Working Group to oversee and coordinate the preparation plans and activities necessary to nominate, onboard, kickoff and support the new SILS cohort as they begin their work within the new governance structure. The new structure was designed by SGTF, approved by CoUL, and will be socialized to the broader UC Libraries staff community prior to this task force beginning work.
As part of its phase 4 charge, the Systemwide Integrated Library System (SILS) Working Group shared this mid-term report outlining work completed so far with the University of California (UC) Direction and Oversight Committee (DOC) and Council of University Librarians (CoUL) on April 23, 2021 for their review. This report covers work completed during the first 12 months of phase 4 from March 2020 through March 2021.
A consistent set of expectations about responsible and appropriate use of patron data is needed for SILS, in conjunction with information security and other compliance obligations. These expectations will underpin uniform policies and procedures and systemwide governance of local campus data for SILS.
To conclude phase 3 reporting, the Systemwide Integrated Library System (SILS) Working Group shared this final report with the University of California (UC) Direction and Oversight Committee (DOC) and Council of University Librarians (CoUL) on July 27, 2020 for their review. This final report covers work completed during phase “3.5” from November 2019 to March 2020. Confidential information has been struck from this public version of the SILS Phase 3 final report.
The SILS mission is to transform library services and operations through innovation and collaboration. The future is shared!
CDL (California Digital Library) manages multiple kinds of data related to consortial licensing of electronic resources, and has a
number of shared services generating related workflows and data: shared acquisitions, shared
cataloging, SFX management, etc. The quantity and complexity of these workflows and data require a
specialized group of CDL staff and UC Libraries stakeholders to review and assess in order to best
migrate current practices and data into the new Alma environment.
