The IUG Liaison’s Forum is coming up on March 18. Sarah thanked Debbie Myers who will be presenting the circulation section in the afternoon. Presentation all set.
CARLI report: (Mel Farrell & Lorna Engels)
Data Review training for new libraries took place on 3/7. This session teaches staff how to look at their data through the cataloging and circulation client. They will be starting the test loads next week.
Most new libraries will have at least one representative at the liaison forum. So far, at least two new libraries have registered for the ICat forum.
Doing a lot of testing for oracle database upgrades. Some of CARLI will be attending the Webinar sessions on Voyager 7.0 coming up. All I-Share libraries can attend these sessions to see what is coming up in the future software release. Circulation, and Call Slip modules will see some enhancements. March19th is one of several dates for this session. Announcement and more information is on ExLibris website.

Other Discussion:
CARLI Resource Sharing Task Force Update:
Deb Stevenson reported on the committee’s work, with Kris Hammerstrand convening. The task force is considering and making recommendations on policies for all I-Share institutions for UB transactions. The group’s first report will be presented to the Board of Directors tomorrow at their meeting.
Deb shared the suggestions for recommended changes with us. Few other things to decide on but wanted to get main focus of recommendations to the Board meeting tomorrow.
- Defined UBReg would include undergraduates and their ilk, whose mapping has not been consistent with all libraries.
- Faculty and staff have been considered UBLong so spreadsheet looks more consistent.
- This is for UB patrons only and does not intervene with our local policies.
- The RSTF will be revisiting these policies in one year – scope of this for I-Share libraries only
- Initial loan period 4 weeks for UBReg and UBLong
- Renewals 2 times for UReg and 4 times for UBLong
- Max number of UB at one time – no limit for both groups
- Max number of UB charges at one time (assuming no other blocks) – no limit for both groups
- Recommend email courtesy notices warning of impending due dates - 7 days before due date
- Renewals extend from due date not renewal date
- Max number of UB items overdue - 25 items – system will automatically block them
- Max number of UB items overdue and recalled - 1 item for both patron categories
- Number of days overdue and declared lost by Voyage - 30 days for both groups
- Max number of UB items lost is 3 items for both groups (hope in one year will be able to set at 1)
Meeting Bullet Points:
- Forum registration open soon.
- Task force recommendations
Date for next meeting: Wednesday, April 23, at 2:00 pm
