Conference Call

IUG Liaison: Stephen J. Smith (UIS)
Members absent: Priscilla Matthews (ISU), Cason Snow (NIU, Chair), Pamela Thomas (ICC)
Staff attending: Jessica Gibson, Cathy Salika, Casey Sutherland (staff liaison)
Actions/Decisions:
- Casey agreed to chair the meeting due to the unexpected absence of the Chair
- Minutes of the 01/13/09 meeting were approved as amended
- Update on joint IACQ/ICAT mini-forums on tech services workflows
- ICAT members in attendance at the Chicago session affirmed comments as reported on the session evaluations.
- Suggestions for those moderating future sessions:
- Keep the focus of the discussions on workflows
- Moderators should be prepared with questions in order to fill gaps in the discussions
- Update on Spring Forum:
- Those participating in the IACQ/ICAT mini-forums should be alert to anyone who has already tried to implement workflow changes as they may be candidates for participating in the forum presentation on this topic.
- Learning more about Northwestern’s “process analysis” as mentioned in the mini-forum evaluations was suggested as a possible presentation topic.
- Everything for the forum is still on track.
- Voyager cataloging test script:
- Stephen shared IUG’s request that each team create a bulleted list of functional tests that each library can use to verify that the upgrade to be installed in June works. After much discussion, it was decided that:
- Casey will post the spreadsheet she uses for testing functionality in the cataloging client to the ICAT listserv.
- Stephen will take Casey’s spreadsheet and ICAT comments/questions back to IUG for additional clarification.
- OCLC’s Expert Community Experiment:
- Casey will ask Cason to post a message to the techserv-ig listserv alerting CARLI catalogers to the new program, and the dates of the webinars about the program
- ICAT will consider follow-up on this experiment as a possible topic for the Fall Forum
Discussions
- IUG report from Stephen Smith. IUG last met on Jan 16. Minutes from that meeting will be available from http://www.carli.illinois.edu/comms/iug/iug-mins.html
- Highlights include:
- IUG has suggested that each team choose its new Chair before the end of the year so that both the current Chair and incoming Chair could attend the May 22 IUG meeting where annual reports and upcoming goals/projects are discussed. It is believed this could help with continuity.
- The Ad-hoc Statistics Task Force should have a report out within the month
- Discussions pertaining to a possible new ILS continue. See Background Readings for CARLI’s “Next ILS” Meetings, which Stephen distributed to the team.
