Dear Colleagues,
The SILS Phase 4 Cohort has introduced a new pilot communications initiative intended to provide a monthly high-level summary of information for both project implementation and the end-user service.
A reminder that the Q2 UC-Wide SILS Town Hall is scheduled for Monday, April 19 from 11 a.m. to noon; here is the participation link. In addition to a presentation by the End User Outreach Subgroup, a roundtable discussion will bring a variety of perspectives on the topic of: What Changes Will UC Library Search Bring to Library Culture and Operations?
Key SILS Project Updates
- All 10 UC campuses are continuing work in their Alma-Primo testing environments, and are also working on third-party integrations through May.

Key UC Library Search Updates
- The third UC Library Search news release, with an emphasis on systemwide searchability enhancements, will be distributed at the campus level the week of April 12.
