Decisions:

  • Minutes of the Dec 13 meeting were approved
  • ICAT agreed for Casey to move forward with bibliographic maintenance queries that she plans to add to the "Suggested Priorities" document

Discussion:

  • ICAT discussed the ICAT/IACQ joint meeting to fill in areas of need. Catherine volunteered to be on the panel in the afternoon catalog session. Kristin volunteered to be part of the panel in the troubleshooting section. Cheryl and Heather (by email) volunteered to be notetakers. Statistics will be covered in the AM session on cataloging and access (speaker TBD).  The discussion will be shared with IACQ in the joint meeting on Feb. 21 for final approval.
  • Casey proposed two new queries to add to the maintenance priorities document: one would identify MFHDs with a mismatch between call number type and 852 field indicator values, and the second would evaluate item record prices for obsolete or incorrect values. Both queries were deemed beneficial and Casey will add them to the “Suggested Priorities” document on the CARLI website.

Update as ELUNA member:  ELUNA is  preparing a ballot for enhancements for Voyager 9, with voting in March.  There are 35 enhancement options for cataloging. Voyager 8 had its major enhancement of  global changes, so many of these other enhancements have been put on hold.  Over 300 items are on enhancement list.  The mechanism for I-Share members to contribute their preferences for enhancement to CARLI has not yet been determined, but more information will be forthcoming.
