Decisions:

Announcements:
- CARLI Report
- Everyone is working on the Voyager upgrade. CARLI has also just received the 7.1 Gold/general release.
- The upgrade will begin Sunday morning June 14th and if everything goes as scheduled, the upgrade will be finished by Wednesday June 17th.
- During the upgrade everyone will have access to a frozen OPAC (about a week old). This means that the status of items may not be correct. During this time, libraries can use the offline circulation module only to charge items. After the upgrade is complete, these transactions can be uploaded to the system.
- A training database is available but there may be occasional disruptions in its availability.
- IUG Report – given by Lorna Engels
- IUG last met last week at the CARLI offices.
- Annual reports from all teams were shared. Team chairs were also present at the meeting.
- IUG is sending out a call for volunteers to join a usability testing group. This will be a pool of volunteers who are willing to be available to do usability testing. Volunteers need to understand that since it will be their institution who will be doing the usability testing it may be necessary to obtain approval from the campus, have a signed IRB, etc.
- IUG is sending out a call for volunteers to join a group that will be revising & updating the electronic resources and databases cataloging documentation that was developed a few years ago.
