Meeting commenced at 11:03 a.m.
- Confirm Minute Taker (Lynn)
- March 2010 minutes were approved as corrected.
- CARLI Report – Jen
- Due to the retirement of Becky Blackburn, starting Friday, April 30th, all phone calls to the CARLI office’s main phone number will connect to an automated menu of choices. Leaving a voice mail will automatically generate a ticket. Email is always a good option.
- The Liaison forum scheduled for June 10 has been cancelled. Webinars are being planned.
- VuFind will be replacing WebVoyáge as the interface for the I-Share union catalog on June 1. The goal of the switch is to improve response time. WebVoyáge often times out when requests are placed on titles with many holdings. VuFind handles requests more efficiently. Before the change is made VuFind will be deduped. If there are holdings from multiple institutions for a single title, there will be one bibliographic record with multiple holdings, and not a separate bibliographic record for each institution holding the title. An email concerning the change to VuFind has been sent to I-Share liaisons. Jen will forward the email to IACQ members.
- We had a very short discussion about WorldCat Local Quick Start and the FirstSearch databases.
- IUG Report – Karen
- IUG met on April 16, 2010 in Champaign. The next meeting will be held on May 21, 2010 at Eastern.
- Susan Singleton proposed a restructuring of IUG with an emphasis on resource sharing. IUG accepted her proposal with modifications. FY 2011 will be a transition year.
- The Liaison forum scheduled for June 10 has been canceled. Two webinars are being planned for the VuFind change to the I-Share union catalog.
- The Board has adopted universal borrowing guidelines effective July 1, 2010. All I-Share libraries will receive information about the guidelines before the implementation date. Individual libraries can still have local guidelines, but the universal borrowing guidelines will be the standard for the I-Share union catalog. CARLI will do all the System Administration changes for the union catalog.
- Elect chairperson(s) for 2010-2011 Kati and Missy volunteered to be Co-chairs. Motion was made by Christophe to accept the nomination of Kati and Missy as Co-chairs. The motion was voted on favorably.
- Assignments for Wiki summaries It was decided that this would be done by email. Christophe will send something out to everyone. It was also noted that Christophe needs to have the annual report done by the May meeting.
- Wink training Amy Walker of North Central College provided hands-on Wink training for us.
There was a general consensus that the next meeting would be a conference call.
Meeting adjourned at 2:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Lynn Fields
