I-Share Cataloging and Authority Control Team Minutes Meeting #18
2008 May 8, 2008, 1:30 PM-2:25 PM CST
Conference Call Members attending: Susan Braxton (UIU chair), Daren Callahan (SIU), Priscilla Matthews (ISU), Gayle Porter (CSU), Joan Schuitema (UIC), Marek Sroka (UIU), Pamela Thomas (ICC) IUG Liaison: Stephen J. Smith (UIS) Members absent: Diane Lisle (NPU), Cason Snow (NIU) CARLI Staff Attending: Casey Sutherland (staff liaison), Jessica Gibson, Cathy Salika Decisions: Announcements: - Stephen Smith provided a summary of the IUG report. The IUG OPAC Team supports implementation of Google Book Search API, however it is unclear at this time what their next steps should be.
- IUG has proposed an ad hoc task force to evaluate the current methods for collecting annual statistics and make recommendations for new reports to meet additional needs in this area.
- Susan will send a draft of the ICAT annual report to team members to review. It should be finalized before the June 6th IUG meeting.
- New authority record loads: Cathy reported that CARLI can deal with the weekly loads at this time, but if the number of records increases dramatically, CARLI staffwill separate out the new authority records being created by LC that include country and free floating subdivisions, and load those records during the summer when more server space becomes available.
Tasks assigned: - Volunteers will be needed to help with program planning for the joint IACQ/ICAT forum in the fall.
Discussions: - 78 people pre-registered for the Spring Forum; 33 evaluations were returned. In future, remind participants to fill out the evaluation forms which are highly useful for planning purposes.
- A presentation on workflow analysis by R2, a library consulting firm, was discussed as the centerpiece of a joint IACQ/ICAT forum in the fall. They are a well-regarded service, but an expensive one. IACQ will present a proposal to the Program Planning Committee (PPC) requesting funds to cover the costs for this program, including rental of an auditorium large enough to hold approximately 200 people. ICAT members should take an active role in planning the event in order to clearly identify cataloging issues we would like to see addressed. Alternatively, if PPC rejects the proposal, 1) a different, less expensive, consultant can be considered for participation in the joint forum, or, 2) ICAT can plan to hold a regular Fall Forum. The next joint IACQ/ICAT meeting is scheduled for 11:00a-12:30p on May 16th. Phone: 217-265-5200.
Meeting Dates and Deadlines: - Next Meeting (tentative): Monday, June 9, 11:00 a.m. (Conference call)
