[Mcls-print-storage] MI-SPI 2.0 Update, May 2020

[Stephanie Davis]

Greetings Colleagues, a lot has occurred in our world since Barbara Cockrell, Steering Committee Chair, sent out the last MI-SPI 2.0 update in March. Most of us are now working from home and waiting to see how the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our institutions and our library services. During this time, the MI-SPI 2.0 work has been in the hands of OCLC. On Tuesday, OCLC shared the following with me, "We have confirmed with the ETL team that they anticipate wrapping up their work on MI-SPI between June 10-17.  Given the complexity of the group I suspect it will be towards the end of that time frame."

In anticipation of libraries receiving data and the next stage of MI-SPI 2.0 work beginning, I’ll be doing the following:

  *   Scheduling a group meeting with OCLC so they can provide a high level overview of the data. Look for a Doodle poll with potential dates for this meeting.
  *   Reaching out to each library for feedback on how you believe the COVID situation may impact MI-SPI 2.0 work.
  *   Readjusting our timeline one more time 😊
  *   Meeting with the Steering Committee to plan next steps once data is received.

If you have any thoughts, comments or questions about this information, please share.

Be well & stay safe!

Sincerely,
Stephanie D. Davis, M.S./M.B.A.
