- Nov. 29: Acquisitions/Serial Team Fall Forum “Getting Your Acq Together”
- OPAC Forum (TBA)
Recap/Review of 11/29/07 Forum: Forum evaluations were positive. There were comments that the forum ended too soon. The Team felt that the flow of the program could have been better. Improvements suggested by the Team included break-out groups and official “roamers” to help with discussions. Possible future topics discussed: Cataloging/acquisitions: workflow enhancement/evaluation. Ted will contact the Cataloging and Authority Control Team on possible joint program. Cindy will contact a consultant firm as a possible speaker.
IACQ Follow-up from Forum: Jen and Sharon will split up review of documentation and look at organization for a Wiki on cancellations. The CPP page is still being populated.
ERMS Next Steps: A sub-team of JoAnn, Carlos, Jen, Michelle, and Todd was formed to come up with different models for consortia pricing. They will report back on the Jan. 18 conference call meeting.
Action Item Ideas for Jan-June 2008: Discussed holding mini forums throughout the spring using Wimba. Mini forums might work well for discussing worst practices, and cancellations. Fiscal Period Close and problems could be a mini forum held in May.
