April 17, 2009
Members Present: Sharon Nelson (NIU, Chair), Christophe Anderson (COL), Anne Hudson (CARLI), Randy Kuehn (IWU), Azungwe Kwembe (CSU), Jen Masciadrelli (CARLI), Tammy Schnell (LLC), Karen Whisler (EIU, IUG Liaison)

The meeting commenced at 1:00 am by conference call.
- The Minutes of March 13, 2009 were approved as reviewed and amended through email.
- CARLI Report (Jen Masciadrelli reporting):
- CARLI Staffers are busy testing the new release of Voyager.
- The CARLI Spring Database Selection survey is underway.
- ERMS selection is getting close to completion.
- IUG Report (Karen Whisler reporting):
- The Liaison Forum will be held on May 21st at the I-Hotel in Champaign. Team Chairs and Chairs-Elect meet with IUG the next day, May 22d, at CARLI Headquarters.
- The documents being prepared for the Voyager upgrade are not “Testing Scripts” per se, they are checklists of tasks and functionality.
- A new Task Force is being formed to revisit the cataloging and display of electronic resources in the OPAC.
- Discussions regarding the “future of ILS” continue. Carlos Melian posed the following three discussion points:
- Something you/your library can’t do without that the current system installation does;
- Something that annoys you/your library in the current system;
- Something you/your library would love to be able to do (blue sky is fine) but can’t do now.
- Mini-Forum debriefing: The opportunity to interact and have open discussion on wide-ranging topics was incredibly appreciated. We should try to incorporate opportunities for discussion in future forums. Jen is posting notes from the mini-forums to the Wiki and she will be sending out a note to the Technical Services List to let them know the notes are available.
- Plans for April 30, 2009 Spring Forum: Committee members volunteered to moderate or take notes at the cocktail tables: the future ILS (Ted, Moderator & Karen, notetaker), acquisitions/serials workflow tips (JoAnn or Tammy), ERMS (Jen & Azungwe), FPC (Ann & Christophe), Other Topics (Tammy or JoAnn). One hundred thirty-two people have registered for this event
- H-Acq Fest: Ann Hudson reported that nine people have registered for the H-Acq Fest. She is planning to bring the Class Diagrams and the Reverse Dictionary to their attention
- Voyager Upgrade Scripts: The Acq/Ser script just needs some minor tweaking. Sharon Nelson plans to polish it up and sent the final version to the Team and to Carlos today.
- The June meeting was scheduled for June 15th. The Team decided to move the meeting to June 22d to avoid conflict with the upgrade.
- Sharon Nelson asked if there should be a Fall Forum. Having no particular program items to suggest, the Team thought that a Spring Forum might be preferable. The Team will be welcoming four new members in July. That may be the time to revisit the question of a Fall Forum.
Meeting adjourned at 2:00 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Karen Whisler
