Participants
Anna Guillaumet, Julia Trimmer, Carol Minton Morris, Bruce Herbert, Ann Beynon, Estefania Muñoz
Agenda
- Updates since last meeting
Notes
Talk to Bruce about his outreach to other VIVOs. How's that working, and can we get more details?
Carol spoke to LYR as the liaison to others OSS communities. They're all asking the same questions: What is our market? How do we reach it? What do we have to offer? LYRASIS is discussing how to help out with some kind of coordinated assistance across all LYR programs.
Website analysis: Estefania created a PDF and Anna gave us a preview. These changes would be considered as minor improvements because there's no new/additional content. Anna will ask Estefania to do a protoype and to see if LYRASIS could accomplish these changes. Anna will ask Estefania to send an email with the analysis and explaination.
Sam Mitchell is the web guy at LYRASIS.
Ann is talking with Sharla Lair and Laurie about the next webinar.
In the meantime, we should share news with Carol at any time such as the ontology workshop – recording to share and summarize the workshop goals.
Julia created a Hootsuite and connected Twitter. We think that LinkedIn is the best second site. Instagram is another idea – Anna recommends it as more popular and will investigate it. Carol finds it challenging to find an image to illustrate a topic like a webinar.
Carol will continue to tweet about VIVO from the DuraSpace Community until we get better organized. Carol uses TweetDeck.
Julia will talk to Andrew about creating a new Slack channel. Will let you all know.
We also need to create a new image in the VIVO twitter account.

Agenda
- Goals of this group
- Work done so far
- Strategic Communication Plan Draft
- Additions to the plan:
- Talking points addressing various use cases for VIVO
Notes
Julia: Estefania, Anna and I have been meeting for a few months. Carol joined in too. Estefania has made a great start on the Strategic Communication Plan (draft is currently on her Google Drive). We asked for her thoughts on a comprehensive, far-reaching marketing plan for VIVO: what would we do if we could do everything?
So our end goal for this task force is a Strategic Plan that we will present to the Leadership Group. Alternatively, we could start with a short-term plan and present those the LG first.
Anna: Let's start with short-term goals first and present those to the LG first.
Carol: Estefania's plan is excellent and ambitious. Julia and I talked about how LYRASIS can help. Market research should be first step, and identifying the use cases. But there's no support for LYRASIS to do the market research. Outcome of market research should inform the strategic communication plan.
Bruce: We at TAMU have been meeting with other organizations about VIVO and there are three groups 1) orgs who are thinking of implementing a profile system, including Provosts, libraries 2) orgs who are very interested in VIVO, and most want to do it cheaply and easily in a cloud 3) groups that have implemented VIVO and either active or not – they need to understand the benefits of membership.
Julia: What's the current communication strategy?
- Julia sends email announcements to Carol which become VIVO Updates blog post.
- Blog posts roll up to the LYR Digest every two months (https://lyrasisnow.org)
- All blog posts go to LYRASIS social media. They should be tweeted from VIVO.
- LYRASIS Divisions Update goes out monthly with content from the division director.
Goals for the short term (for next meeting):
- Website analysis, Anna and Estefania
- Update flyer and ideas for other material, Bruce
- Investigate Hootsuite for free materials – inviting others to submit tweets and create account, Julia
- Finalize the communication schedule on the LYRASIS side, Carol
- Webinars, Ann?
