The meeting commenced at 11:00 a.m. by conference call.
- Minutes of April 17, 2009 were approved as reviewed and amended through email.
- CARLI Report (Jennifer Masciadrelli):
- Testing of Voyager is still going on, it looks like Voyager. 7.1 is a go.
- Several people went to the ELUNA (ExLibris Users of North America) conference. There were no special announcements. Ted added further development to Verde will add to the effort of creating a URM. There is competition between SFX and Verde regarding which knowledge base will be best. ExLibris showed markups and wireframes of what they thought some functions will look like and what they think the overall functionality will be. They reiterated that Voyager was not going away. Voyager 7.2 will be out at the end of this year.
- Sarah Miller accepted a position in Maryland at the National Science Foundation Library and will be leaving CARLI.
- The first open conference call for fiscal period close took place and generated some interesting questions.
- IUG Report (Karen Whisler):
- The Chair and Chair-elect were invited to meeting at CARLI headquarters from 10: am – 2:00 p.m. May 22. Sharon called in for the meeting. The Liaison forum is scheduled for May 21, 2009. Discussions of the future of the ILS are proceeding.
- The E-resources Cataloging Task Force will be seeking volunteers to serve on the task force. They are looking for bulk loading experience. Call for volunteers is yet to come out.
- Old business:
- Anne observed how some of the questions asked during the fiscal period close conference call always come up very year, even though they are already in the documentation. She volunteered to go ahead and add them to the FAQ (for example, Can I copy a roll over rule? I made a mistake of allocating money to serials, how can un-allocate it as part of the roll over, etc.) All agreed to the suggestions.
- Sharon asked if there is a way of getting the wiki usage statistics to see how many times people are viewing pages? Jen replied that view statistics are reported on the bottom of the page.
- On April 30th forum comments, it sounds like people were happy as to how things turned out over all. We all agreed that table toppers were very good. Only negative was that the room was a bit noisy, and there was no announced time to migrate from table to table which people were expecting. Over all, the structure went well. The Panel discussions had mixed reviews.
- New Business:
- Election of new chair, Christophe and Randy were elected and agreed to co-chair the committee next academic year.
- All the members of the group agreed that Sharon did a good job with the annual report, and that she covered the activities of the team accurately.
- June open conference call was discussed; whether we want to hold the conference call on the upgrade. It was decided that if people have difficulty with the upgrade they can call the CARLI office. The timing for the conference call on the upgrade was too soon. It was decided the open conference call for June will be canceled and if people are having difficulties with the upgrade then they can contact CARLI.
- Jen suggested having a conference call in August to find out how thing are going with the new functionality, if people are working it into their work flow or if they are not, what are the reasons.
- Sharon brought up the presentations on EDI and Complex Publication Patterns that we talked about last year and suggested they could be topics for the future.
Meeting adjourned at 12:25
Respectfully submitted,
Azungwe Kwembe
