September 24, 2009
Attending: Jessica Gibson (CARLI), Paige Weston (CARLI), Judith Dzierba (RSH), Lynnette Fields (SIE), Andrea Imre (SIC), Kristin Martin (Chair)(UIC), Sandy Roe (ISU), Tammy Schnell (LLC), Helen Zhou (UIU)
The meeting was brought to order by Kristin Martin at 10:30 a.m.
1. Introductions were made by all Task Force members and CARLI staff.
2. Motion was made by Sandy to approve the August 13, 2009 teleconference minutes. Motion was seconded and unanimously approved.
3. Wiki editing overview
Kristin led the discussion with tips on how to work on the wiki.
4. Discussion of next generation OPAC developments
Paige led the discussion and distributed a chart she created that presents an overview of Classic WebVoyage, Tomcat WebVoyage, VuFind, WorldCat Local, and the eXtensible Catalog.
• All I-Share libraries are currently using Classic WebVoyage.
• They are still hoping to resolve the Tomcat performance issues. If they are resolved TomCat will be redeployed.
• VuFind is an alternative interface and is available to all libraries. There is not a universal catalog with VuFind, and no deduping of bibliographic records.
• Five I-Share libraries are participating in a WorldCatLocal pilot project. The pilot was extended through December 2009.
• Development of the eXtensible Catalog is progressing, with front-end search and bib display modules expected by December 2009.
Paige demonstrated sample searches and answered a variety of questions.
5. Presentation on issues at UIUC
Helen presented a brief view of practices and issues at UIUC concerning e-resources. The powerpoint presentation will be posted on the TF wiki.
6. Round robin of responses on cataloging e-resources questions:

Task force members shared the answers to the questions specific to their institution.
a. Development of survey of CARLI membership?
After discussion it was decided that a survey for CARLI members would be developed to try to determine how CARLI members are handling issues such as single or multiple records; what libraries see as the big problems with e-resources; how urls are presented to the users; etc. It was also mentioned that the survey could serve as a publicity tool for the new report.
Andrea and Sandy volunteered to come up with a draft survey. They will try to have it ready to present at the September 29th conference call. Sandy volunteered to run the TF’s survey through ISU’s institutional review board to cover any “publication” of the information collected.
7. Discussion of how to update “Cataloging Electronic Resources/Electronic Resources Display in the OPAC Task Force Final Report” (2004)
(http://www.carli.illinois.edu/comms/iug/iug-cater2009.html)
After discussion it was decided that all Task Force members should look at each recommendation and decide whether or not the recommendation should continue to be in the report, if it should be at the same level, and whether the proposal should be modernized or updated.
Kristin will get something on the wiki for the Task Force to work with. After going through the current recommendations we will determine what else we want the report to cover: e.g. vendor records.
8. Other issues concerning access to e-resources
a. Provider Neutral E-Monograph Record Task Group Report:
http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/PN-Final-Report.pdf
Kristin reported that she spoke to Becky Culbertson, a member of the original Task Force about the report. Local information for each provider may be provided in a 793, and there will be an 856 for each provider. OCLC will begin ‘neutralizing’ existing records sometime in 2010.
We will continue the discussion at the September 29th conference call.
9. Begin work on timeline
Everyone agreed that we’re not ready to think about the timeline yet.
10. For the next meeting:
• Continue no. 8 from September 24th agenda
• Kristin will work on the wiki
• We will look at the first draft of the survey
11. Meeting adjourned at 3:05
