Main topic: Marketing assessment for VIVO in a Box (VIAB)
Background materials
- Building on OCLC's Practices and Patterns in Research Information Management, Julia made some notes on the Google Drive about what we can learn from the survey.
- VIAB Marketing Plan on the Google Drive gives us ideas about positioning VIAB.
- VIVO Strategic Communication Plan also discusses positioning and marketing VIVO.
Objectives for the marketing assessment
- To analyze the opportunities for VIAB (how many universities are out there, what basic RIM functions do they need, how much can they afford?)
- To keep the assessment as simple as possible
- To build on existing data and knowledge
How can we accomplish these objectives? Do we need more specs about VIAB first?

Agenda
Ongoing topics
- Google map update
- Use cases blog post
- Videos project:
- Follow up in the Membership meeting on 12/10
New topics
- Marketing assessment for VIAB: how might we go about this?
- Prospective VIVOs want to know, "How many people are needed? What are the extra costs? Potential use cases?"
- What questions would we ask – is this a survey?
- How to lower barriers to implementation/costs to pilot. Suggest a smaller implementation done by a single person for very low cost and few resources.
- Bruce is working on specs. Thinking about the minimal data set. For example, what the VIVO Scholar Task Force did: https://vivo-scholars-scholars.cloud.duke.edu/
- Exploring what's in CRIS systems, like what's in DSpace CRIS. https://portalrecerca.csuc.cat/ Mic recommends that Bruce talk to Federico.
- Developers want to finish 18ln in a new release in March. Then could work on VIAB. Survey could help focus features to provide direction to the developers.

- And The Senior Research Officer: Experience, Role, Organizational Structure, Strategic Directions, and Challenges https://sr.ithaka.org/publications/the-senior-research-officer/
- What other marketing materials would we need to sell VIAB? Help Clarivate send the right message.
- Next steps: Look at the OCLC 2018 report to see what ideas and info we can use to help launch our marketing assessment.

Agenda and notes
- Website changes:
- quick corrections are complete. Business requirements are being approved, and the timeline for new website is coming in a couple of weeks or so.
- Map: ArchiveSpace does this, and working on it with DSpace. https://archivesspace.org/community/whos-using-archivesspace Backed up by a Google Sheet. Jenn will share the template for creating. Instructions here: https://support.google.com/mymaps/answer/3024454?hl=en&%3Bref_topic=3188329. It would need to be refreshed quarterly. Jenn and Julia will work together.
- Sam will highlight the Service Providers ASAP.
- Annual report: Sam will have it later next week. He'll send it along.
- What's next?
- New banner for the Twitter profile
- Brainstorming the VIVO/WoS/Reciter: would we give anything up? Thoughts? Great idea, and what would we give up? Scopus is more prevalent in Europe. We could ask to preserve the brands that VIVO has created. It would be great to get an agreement ahead of time. Would it be great to install in the cloud.
- What's next on the Strategic Plan? All: think about this for next time.
