- Approval of minutes
Minutes of May 4th were approved as amended.
- Approval of draft annual report to I-Share Users’ Group
Jana’s draft of the annual report was approved as amended via an earlier e-mail discussion. She has been invited to attend the IUG meeting on June 13th.
- Update on team roster for next year
IUG created a subcommittee to make recommendations for team appointments. There were 11 volunteers for ICAT; however 2 have already been appointed to other working groups. The final appointments will be made at IUG’s June 13th meeting. None of the current members who are rotating off of the team have reapplied.
- Brainstorm on ICAT activities for next year
As usual, ICAT will present a fall and a spring forum. Current plans call for a Voyager upgrade around December, but there may not be many changes that affect cataloging. Possible forum topics include the Voyager upgrade, Analyzer, an update on RDA (Resource Description and Access), and a discussion of a shift in focus to cataloging special localized materials. CARLI hopes to be able to support the use of Gary Strawn’s Location Changer utility by I-Share libraries by fall, which could also be a forum topic.
A revision of “Recommendations for Cataloging Electronic Resources and Display of Electronic Resources in I-Share Catalogs” may be needed in order to include collection level records and the cataloging of digital collections. The Voyager cataloging tag tables may need to be revised again since the release of OCLC’s Technical Bulletin #254.
There was also discussion about the possibility of members of the committee presenting hands-on training for Catalogers’ Toolkit and other Strawn utilities.
- Thanks to departing team members
Appreciation and thanks were expressed to departing members Jana Brubaker, Chew Chiat Naun, Jill Garbs, and Conrad Winke.
The next meeting will be scheduled after new members have been appointed.
Respectfully submitted by Jill Garbs
