*** = permanent agenda items
1. Roll Call ***
2. Approval of minutes from the last meeting *** Edited TSPC entry about RDA
and AACR2.
3. Approval of agenda with additions *** - added discussion about enhancement
list and voting
4. FCLA Update
a. There was a question about some of the enhancements. JABR is ready for
production. If a library wishes to have it, send an RT to the Mango que
and it will be implemented.
b. UBorrow interface: Josh reported that UBorrow is scheduled for a
soft launch in late February or early March. He demonstrated
changes and additions made since the committee last looked at it.
Recent changes: final placement of the Local to Union link, re arrangement of the WAYF control, addition of BIB information and
fine tuning of the pickup confirmation screen, and additional
information on the request confirmation screen. Proposed additions
from the Access Services Committee include more
information/wording for request statuses and the addition of FAQ.
There was clarification for members of what committees are
participating in the design and implementation of the UBorrow
project. Jennifer Kuntz said that there are Eluminate sessions
planned for the first week in February so that public services
people can see the functionality and be trained in the service. Josh
urged committee members to continue testing and send comments
and/or recommendations to the public lists.
c. UF/SUL Digital collection in Mango a la FAMU Digital
Collections. – Josh showed how FAMU’s UFDL records were
separated out so that just their holdings could be accessed using the
Library/Collection link in the Mango facet. Committee members
asked that this be done for all libraries that have local holdings in
University of Florida Digital Collections.
d. Update on partial updates in production: the new load schedule,
what is updated and what is not. – Josh wanted to clarify that only
Aleph bib records are updated in the two-hour window. Other
records, such as UFDC, PALMM, CRL will take a few days.
Committee members agreed that it is a good tradeoff to be able to
get the bib records updated frequently.
e. Hathi records in Mango. Links to Hathi eBooks and Hathi record
load. – There was a long discussion about getting access to Hathi
online books. Josh talked about two different ways it could be
accomplished. 1). Mango sends the ISBN or OCLC number to the
Hathi API's database. If it finds a match to a record in the library’s
catalog, Mango displays a URL to link to the online edition .
Committee members liked this and hoped that it could be
accomplished. 2). All the Hathi records could be loaded into
Mango. This is a huge number of records and there was trepidation
among some members about doing this. The addition of CRL
records to Mango catalogs was used as an example of adding huge
numbers of records to local catalogs. This is something that will be
talked about much more in the future as the discussion to move to a
single catalog continues.
5. Discussion
a. George is still looking for a new chair. He has a commitment from a
member to be the chair-elect to take over next year, but he has not found
anyone to take the chair for this year.
b. Voting for enhancements – George suggested that the committee could
look at the enhancement list two or three times a year to make sure votes
are current and that the enhancements on the list are still wanted. Each
library is entitled to 3 votes. If an enhancement is implemented, the vote
should be moved to another enhancement and the Google doc should be
updated. A vote cannot be moved until that enhancement is finalized or
until the committee looks at the enhancement list and makes a change.
George will send out a FAQ about the enhancement voting to clarify the
rules.
6. TSPC Update - Annie asked how people would like to get information from
TSPC. It was agreed that she would summarize the meeting notes and send
information pertaining to Mango by email. Here are the notes from the January
13, 2010 meeting.
a. FCLA Report. The UBorrow soft launch date will be determined at the
Feb. 4th UBorrow face-to-face meeting. FCLA is working on adding the
State Library catalog into Search Florida Libraries; next will be adding
the public libraries catalog.
b. Record set loads (for Cambridge e-books, OSTI, Hathi Trust, Internet
archive, etc.). Currently, CPC is only involved in the decision making
for adding record set loads if those resources are purchased. Since
these additions to the catalog might affect other SUS libraries, it was
agreed CPC's TSPC liaison should report these purchased record loads
to TSPC. CPC would also like to be aware of any freely acquired
records, which FCLA loads at the request of an individual library.
Annie will report back to TSPC that the OPAC Subcommittee would
like to be informed about these additions as well.
c. E-resource links on print version records. Current cataloging practices
vary on whether to include e-resource links in print version bib
records or to catalog the print and e-resource on separate records. To
avoid any conflicts these varying practices might create in a Single Bib
environment, the Metadata Subcommittee will be contacted to
establish standard practices.
7. PSPC Update- George – George reported some of the things that were discussed
at the face to face meeting: an action plan, storage facility, mobile apps, single
state-wide catalog, access to full text, and usability testing.
*** are permanent agenda items
