New Business

  • Discussion of RDA Resources page on the CARLI site (Nicole)
    • Nicole reported that she updated the CARLI RDA Resources page last week about the various training opportunities, webinars, books, articles so that it stays current
  • Should ICAT do a best practice document on electronic book plates?  (See email from Cathy sent 11/27)
    • Cathy Salika began the discussion by giving us a background about the email that CARLI support received about the best way to do virtual bookplates. Although ICAT has not yet issued any best practices document, the group felt it important to pursue it further. Many I-share libraries are eliminating bookplates and want to add ebook plates. Also, libraries have been adding donor information notes (although copy-specific) in bib (MARC fields-500, 562) and mfhd records. The bib notes do not display in either VuFind or WebVoyage. The mfhd notes do display and can be searched in WebVoyage and not in VuFind. Cathy suggested to create an electronic bookplate and add that information only in a mfhd in $u where one could add a URL to link to the virtual bookplate. The group decided to have some examples and work on this project next year. Lori suggested forming a small sub-group to work on this project. Lori, Lynn, and Kavita volunteered to work on creating the best practices document.
