- Minutes of Oct. 19 were approved.
- CARLI update – Jen
- Busy with forums this month. The two this week sounds like they went quite well. Still working on plans for potential upgrade. Things proceeding well with SSN cleanup. ILDS service routes still being organized (big discussion at yesterday's forum.) Still working on new open source front end; some libraries have volunteered for beta sites but the software is not in beta yet. No further news on move of CARLI offices.
- EDI problems w. 6.5.2 that have been on various Voy-L lists; is this a concern w. move to 6.5.3? Jen is not sure if 6.5.3 fixes it. Carlos mentioned he is worried about the loss of e-reserves with the last upgrade and doesn't want that to happen again; could CARLI please double-check that. Jen has been looking at bugs & problems for 6.5.2. on SupportWeb. They hope to be able to start to test these things soon.
- IUG Report – Carlos
- Not much to report as they are not meeting again until Nov. 30. Everyone was working on forums, and IUG is looking to do a followup to the resource sharing/copyright session. They plan to submit a request to Program Planning for next year for some kind of hands-on workshop(s) for developing a copyright policy for your institution. IUG needs information on what specific aspects of copyright people are interested in – ILL, e-reserves, media?
- Also working on liaison forum for March (18th?)
- Paige has created a "small libraries" listserv – the announcement emailed out this week. There is also the possibility of having a "small libraries" track at various forums when appropriate.
- Forum finalization:
- In-depth discussions about how to organize the forum, what problems/solutions to use as examples, and who would present which problems. It was determined that the organization of the forum as previously announced (problems in the morning, solutions in the afternoon) would be changed to present each solution after each problem. What we want to get out of the forum is to get people to think about what they're doing and eventually submit their best practices so we can find best practices to recommend. We need to make sure people know up front at the start of the forum that what we're presenting are not best practices, but a stimulus to finding best practices. You may have a better idea so please share!
- Any problems/examples we can't get to in the forum can be put on the wiki (or possibly included in a Conference Call).
- Also discussed was how mentors and mentees find each other at the forum. The resource person for that forum emails both partners ahead of time but Carlos said there was a bit of problem finding partners at yesterday's forum. No one has been interested in guest blogging at the Forum so far but we can always follow up with our own blog entry after the fact. (Cataloging did this.)
- Complex Publication Patterns page looks good. Lincoln Land sent a lot of good examples to seed the page. Joann has some Law looseleaf examples she can send. Jen will include the URL in the CARLI report handouts.
- December meeting will be December 11. Possible topics include reviewing the forum & discuss any open issues, start looking at our next steps for ERMS (Ted needs to talk to Susan), considering doing a second forum in the spring (or half-day mini-forum using WebJunction?). Our group would be a good group to think about functionality in a next gen/open source Acq system. What sort of things would we want to have? We may want to begin investigating issues/topics with other CARLI teams/groups (e.g., collection development) if not this year, then lay the groundwork to do something next year. There do not seem to be any topics/issues that are pressing for an open conference call in December so it will be cancelled. The January meeting will be conference call only due to weather issues.
Meeting was adjourned at 1:30 p.m.
