Items from Clusters: J. Holmes inquired about what libraries are doing to protect themselves from cybersecurity threats and backing up their information.  Are there cost effective solutions to share?  What can SCLS provide?
SCLS HQ uses Carbonite on staff pcs and it also backs up member library ILS data.
M. Van Pelt noted Infosec training is available to the member libraries free of charge from the state, which provides staff online training to learn how to detect phishing emails, etc.  M. Van Pelt will send an email to the member libraries with information from the WI DOA and cyber security.  P. Garvey shared a link from the Center for Internet Security: www.cisecurity.org/ms-isac
It was determined it would be helpful to send a survey to all of the member libraries inquiring whether they are backing up their information and if so, how.  It was also suggested the survey include the question of whether libraries are interested in adding storage space for their library on the SCLS server.

 

J. Schmitt noted he will be retiring and P. Garvey will take over his position.  M. Van Pelt will set up a virtual meeting to provide governance & cluster representative training to P. Garvey.
