<p class="MsoNormal">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,
<span style="color:black;background:white">"We have confirmed with the ETL team that they anticipate wrapping up their work on </span><span style="color:black">MI-SPI<span style="background:white"> between June 10-17. Given the complexity of the group I suspect
it will be towards the end of that time frame." <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;background:white"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;background:white">In anticipation of libraries receiving data and the next stage of MI-SPI 2.0 work beginning, I’ll be doing the following:

<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
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.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Reaching out to each library for feedback on how you believe the COVID situation may impact MI-SPI 2.0 work.
