- Minutes of the October 20th meeting were approved prior to today.
CARLI Report: (Mel Farrell & Lorna Engels)
- Workaround posted for the “large-number-owned” item request timeouts. Use VUFind, which does not have the problem like WebVoyage.
- Patrons are using and enjoying the “Text Me Call Number” feature in the OPAC.
- Including Google Book records in the online catalog slowed everything down, so the records were pulled.
- The numerous training sessions held lately by CARLI have been fantastic and well-received/attended: including licensing, cataloging, acquisitions, etc.
- Implementing the Standardized UB policy changes will take place at the same time as the Voyager 7 upgrades so that all disruptions will occur at once. Work still needs to be done by the taskforce concerning thresholds.
IUG Report: (Sarah McHone-Chase)
- IUG has finished reviewing the charges of the committees, and are now working on their own charge.
- Several upcoming forums include:
- Voyager Reports- February 26th & 27th in Wimba. 2 days with 2 sessions per day- all sessions unique: Basic reporting, Advanced reporting, Reports for Weeding, and the Statistics Task Force presentation.
- Liaison Forum- May 21st for all liaisons.
- Board Meeting- June 5th. IUG needs all committee’s reports by April; also all groups are encouraged to choose their next chair in April as well.
- Copyright workshop- March 20th at University of Illinois at Chicago. The forum will focus on copyright in regards to course reserves. Presented by Tom Lipinski.
- IUG is interested in hearing what everyone’s “ideal ILS system” would include. Send any ideas and feedback to Sarah McHone-Chase.
- The Resource Sharing Team has agreed to work on writing test scripts for checking the functionality of the clients after the Voyager upgrade.
- Mel will forward everyone basic training documentation so we know where to start. We’ll discuss this further at our December meeting.
Receiving OCLC requests from I-Share Libraries:
Some libraries have been receiving OCLC requests from I-Share Libraries for items available through I-Share.
- CARLI will send out an announcement to remind libraries about best-practices in monograph borrowing.
Blatant Zip-Tie Ignoring:
- If you encounter libraries blatantly ignoring the zip-tie best practice, please forward the information on to CARLI delivery support.
Services for Distance Education Workshop:
- After collecting feedback and comments from the I-Share Resource Sharing Listserv, Dallas and Peggy G. have determined there is enough interest in holding a workshop on services for distance education.
- Two sessions to be held through WIMBA- tentatively scheduled for January 15th, 2009, at 10am and 2pm.
- In preparation, Dallas and Peggy will learn about what people are already doing, what questions and concerns to address, and who should talk about them for the sessions.
