StaffGuide: Committees

Charge

During 2021-2023, the ISC will serve as the coordinating body for Alma / Primo migration.

The committee serves as the governing body for the shared LSP, communicating system updates, issues, and procedures throughout the organization.  The committee makes recommendations concerning:

  • policies and practices
  • new software releases and enhancements
  • new products and integrations with third-party services. 


Members of the committee serve as module coordinators for their respective areas; each module coordinator is responsible for communicating with departments throughout the organization concerning system functions and practices.
