    3. UCI - Academic Affairs has announced that they will be retiring the Academic Affairs CRIS system to managing faculty tenure and promotion.  After a survey conducted for the Provost, the response was overwhelming negative about MyData and the decision to retire was announced for June 2018.  Academic Affairs is reaching out the UCI Libraries about support for faculty gathering publication bibliographies for the T&P process.  Campus visits for a new LMS system continue (ExLibiris on April 13, Innovative (Sierra) on April 18).  Merging of faculty papers into instance for ESS was successful; the department was happy with the results.
        • New video for NIH Mandate Compliance, from UCI Office of Research URL: https://youtu.be/cQmW24ErHa4 (17:46) with markers to jump to sections.
        • Office of Research has purchased a local license for Dimensions, a Digital Science product for tracking funding opportunities.  Dimensions can be configured to use Elements data for faculty publishing patterns.  URL: https://www.digital-science.com/products/dimensions/
    4. UCLA - "Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for the Visual Arts," May 5th 

      https://www.library.ucla.edu/events/code-best-practices-fair-use-visual-arts 

    5. UCM -
    6. UCR - Handled publisher takedown notices for a UCR professor (this was the first time in February).  Created a template letter to inform the faculty member and offer to help with uploading the correct version of the scholarly article.  How did other campuses handle their takedowns? We are also working to add the UCR Undergraduate Journal to eScholarship (some UCs have done this; others have not).  There may be a few UCR librarians attending the Friday May 5 program on fair use best practices at UCLA.  We also are considering the Force 11 Scholarly Communications Institute, July 30-Aug. 4, 2017.  As of last year, I have begun distributing monthly updates on open access for the network of subject specialists and bibliographers that meet regularly on collection issues.  UCR is also looking for a new LMS with two vendor presentations in March.  New site of signatories is available (Rachel Anneliese, Mike available to talk about this).
    7. UCSB -
    8. UCSC - We are also looking for a new LMS and the search committee had an ExLibris presentation yesterday (April 18) and will have an Innovative presentation later this week. Katie gave a well attended (for us) presentation on copyright basics for graduate students which was co-sponsored by the Graduate Student Commons on April 7th.  Thank you Katie for another helpful event!
    9. UCSD - Also looking into new LMS.
