- IUG Report
Carlos reported on the activities of the IUG and the other teams. He reported that new CARLI libraries had loaded their data into the I-Share catalog. The process was ongoing but was to be completed by July 1, 2007. Larissa Moebs from Illinois Central College (ICC) was selected as the new chairperson of IUG. The openings on the various teams, including five on the Acquisitions/Serials Team were in the process of being filled. He announced that he will continue to be the IUG representative on the Acq/Ser committee. He also reported that the mentoring program for new member libraries had been working well but needed some tweaking.
At the June 13th, 2007, IUG meeting, annual reports were given by each team representative. Carlos gave the committee a quick summary of each team’s activities over the course of the past year. The Resource Sharing Team worked on creating some new documentation and had a successful forum. They are in the process of reviewing policies. They are thinking about “copyright issues” as a topic for their upcoming forum. The I-CAT Team had a successful forum during the year as well. The Instruction Team worked hard on new tutorials and is planning a forum for November. The possible topic of their next forum is teaching styles and assessment. The OPAC Team highlighted the new titles list amongst its accomplishments for the year. They are also interested in usability testing and are seeking a group to do this, either a new group or a sub-set of a current team.
In the absence of a CARLI representative, Carlos mentioned a few things he felt were relevant. He reported that members of CARLI had a positive meeting with representatives from Ex Libris. The RFP for 24-hour statewide delivery service is beginning to receive bids. Lastly, he reported that the forum evaluation form is going to be modified soon.
- CARLI Report
None.
- Complex Publication Patterns Permissions Form
This was tabled until the next meeting.
- ERMS Demonstration Ideas Update
There was nothing to report. The idea was sent to Kris Hammerstrand. We’ve heard nothing back.
- Quarterly Open Conference Call Discussion
We discussed how we would convene the open conference call which occurred immediately after the meeting. The topic for the call was to be end of the year reports used by acquisitions staff or created for bibliographers. It was determined that Tammy would organize the call and serve as emcee. Carlos would speak first on the types of reports he runs at the end of the year to help him clear out his funds. Then Todd would speak on the reports he creates to inform his bibliographers of their purchases and Ete would conclude with supporting discussions of reports generated for bibliographers at NIU.
The meeting adjourned at 2:00 followed by the Open Conference Call.
Next Meeting: Friday, July 20th, 11:00 – 2:00 in the CARLI conference room.
Respectfully submitted
Todd Spires
