Cataloging Electronic Resources/Electronic Resources Display in the OPAC Task Force (2009) | Minutes
August 13, 2009
Present: Jessica Gibson (CARLI), Judith Dzierba (RSH), Lynette Fields (SIE), Kristin Martin (UIC), Sandy Roe (ISU), Tammy Schnell (LLC), Helen Zhou (UIU)
Absent: Andrea Imre (SIC)
The meeting was brought to order by Jessica Gibson after 1:00pm as soon as all members called in and were accounted for. Each was asked to give a brief introduction and explain what their individual interests were in volunteering. Jessica reviewed what the Task Force was charged to do, its expected outcomes, and projected timeline to meet two deadlines: (1) initial report to IUG of the scope of work by November 1, 2009 (negotiable), and (2) completion of work by April 2010. Jessica reported that the I-Share User’s Group (IUG) has asked the Task Force to decide whether the current members’ skills and experience sets were sufficient, or whether additional types were needed. If additional expertise is required, the IUG will assist with finding more members for the Task Force.
Jessica called for a volunteer to serve as Chair of the Task Force whose responsibility would be to run meetings, create agendas, liaise with CARLI staff, and provide IUG with requested updates. Kristin Martin volunteered; her motion was acknowledged and accepted. Kristin took over the rest of the meeting. Kristin asked for a Recorder of the meeting minutes. The membership agreed to take turns, in ascending alphabetical order. Judith Dzierba began recording.
Biweekly teleconferences were agreed upon for which a survey would be set up to determine what day/time works best. An in-person meeting day was tentatively scheduled for the week of Sept. 21-25, 2009 (~ 10:30am-3:00pm) for which Jessica would create a Doodle to finalize majority choice and reserve meeting space.
Kristin opened the floor for discussions that members might engage in between meeting times. The following was decided:
(a) review “Provider Neutral E-Mongraph Record Task Group Report” (July 30, 2009) from PCC (http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/PN-Final-Report.pdf) to recommend suitable guidelines.
(b) review the “Cataloging Electronic Resources/Electronic Resources Display in the OPAC Task Force Final Report” (2004) (http://www.carli.illinois.edu/comms/iug/iug-cater2009.html ) for areas that need changing/updating and evaluate existing recommendations for relevance.
(c) think about what each member’s own library is doing now with e-resources in the OPAC and formulate questions the task force should discuss through the email list (cater09@carli.illinois.edu). Helen Zhou volunteered to make a presentation at the next meeting of issues that UIU is sorting out.
At our in person meeting in September, we will discuss the above as well as:
(d) discuss 2nd generation OPAC standards and developments, such as the eXtensible Catalog project (http://www.extensiblecatalog.org/about), VuFind, WorldCat local, etc. and how these changes might impact cataloging e-resources guidelines. Jessica will provide a brief overview of the status of each of the public display options.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:55 pm.
