  1. Review and approve previous minutes (May 1, 2024)
    • Jessica requested that attendance be reviewed and confirmed
    • All approved
  2. Standing work updates
    • Local resource types (Andrew)
        • Almost through corrections of 15K audio items. We seem to have more audio rolls (e.g. paper rolls for piano) than most consortia, so Andrew is going to review/revise the regex for that format.
    • Local fields (Matt/Jessica)
      • Jessica reviewed Orbis Cascade compendium
      • Wait until the end of June to distribute the bulk of local fields after new libraries go live
      • Committee will review and provide feedback on new documentation
    • Dedup/FRBR (Jessica)
      • Bibles went well!
      • We need to document what a library can do in their IZ to cleanup their own Bibles
      • Brainstorm a list of good FRBR projects in future
    • IDEA exchange (Allan)
    • Allan added some ideas for Resource Recommender (links in spreadsheet may need to be fixed)
      • Primo Collections: Allow NZ records
      • Reasource Recommender: allow users to dismiss
    • Draft of flier with instructions for registering and voting features three issues
      • Allow Exclusion of IZ only records from NZ
      • Allow to add from NZ
      • Default ‘Has Activity’ instead of ‘All Institutions’ in My Library Card
  3. June Search Ranking / Resource Recommender / Showcase Feature webinar (colin)
    • Colin has completed draft of slides, which Andrew and Laura will review
    • “Discovery_customer_defined_exact_match_field” will be kept separate from webinar, since we’re not able to test yet
    • Either Amy or Jessica will do intro, then presenters will drive their own slides. Allan only has one slide, so Colin will drive until the end.
    • Jessica: Send final slides by 5 PM Monday
    • Everyone should plan to show up 15 minutes early to do a run through
  4. Committee Annual Report
    • Everyone got an extension!
    • Jessica confirmed that the report looks good as it is. Matt will review Local Fields.
    • Ideas for future, which won’t go in plan:
      1. FRBR/Dedup
      2. “Journal of” issue
      3. Andrew: Settings for showing other institutional holdings in Get It (856s and 092 from other institutions)
      4. Allan: Analytics
  5. “discovery_customer_defined_exact_match_field” System Parameter
    • Jessica did file a case with Ex Libris to enable in our Sandbox, which is in Tier 2, but it isn’t on yet
  6. Chair nominations
    • Colin was thanked for his good chairing
    • Aimee and Laura, who are rolling off the committee, were thanked.
    • Andrew and Allan will be continuing on the committee. New member is Margaret Heller.
    • Lindsey volunteered to chair.
    • We’ll do a fresh poll for next year’s meetings, but will hope to keep this meeting time (first Wednesday at 10 AM). Next meeting tentatively: July 10 at 10 AM, because of holiday.
  7. Adjourned
