<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At one of this week’s WACTCLC meetings, a report was reviewed in Alma that was developed outside of Washington for another academic library’s IPEDS data needs. It struck a lot of folks on that call as a potentially useful way of streamlining
data collection for IPEDS that is otherwise a hassle to harvest.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyway, Sally Heilstedt and I spoke about how it might be an appropriate conversation to have with LLC—that is, how IPEDS data submission can be interpreted in multiple ways and how it might be valuable to have some kind of baseline/universal
description of what WA libraries are submitting, and even an agreed-upon Alma report for even further standardization.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My question is: if this does fall under LLC’s purview and interest, then where and when do we have this conversation?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Greg<o:p></o:p></p>
