Main discussion: Priority #2, Digital signage at Mann (Matt and Tobi)
- Tobi-consultation area; using hours service to show availability and Nick putting in LCD display once Tobi has hours input; Tobi will ask Tom to give Nick access to EGA calendars
In future - want to display expertise of people on for the day and ability to book right there (or online) for consultation
Library services (mannservices.mannlib.cornell.edu/LibServices): locations (2 or 2 and half dozen locations: Mann and other libraries), hours, equipment & laptops, study rooms (connections to Voyager), VIVO data, course reserves; LibCal data filtered through here (data conversion); software list and staff directory are defunct. Load balancing so we don’t take down Voyager. Old so looking at replacement over time.
MRBS (events): no API so data extract into Library Services
Matt: Digitalsignage.com (looks like it might do what we need it to do but problem with switching campaigns-possible refresh setting/ reboot issue or linked to Nick’s iPad); Matt setting up generic username and password and will send to everybody; Mann will keep playing and set up more deivces and capmaigns and let us know
All displays available at signage.mannlib.cornell.edu
Can make a reservation from iPad/online signage
Problem with kiosk mode (update issue?); Matt investigating
Suma update (Nick, Sara):
- SUMA in everybody's calendar either weekly or alternating; if you need to switch email the Mann-learning-tech-l list);
- Nick trying to install new version of SUMA (waiting for Chris and IT)
Design/Build Grant: Jim & Sara: We're applying for a grant with William Paterson U and JMU for makerspace for space, equipment, training, library/faculty collaboration to integrate makerspace into curriculum. Due Oct 13th
For next meeting:
- Labstats 6 status (Gabriel)
...
- Gate counter demo (Tobi)
