Discussion Items

Welcome, Katie Lai!! We are very excited to have you here!

Subcommittee Chair Update from Implementation Steering Committee (Dijana/Liana)

  • Minimal updates

  • Considerations about this committee to be made by committee members

    • Forming a working group to make linking NZ and IZ records

    • What the committee's future may look like

    • Meetings will be held bi-weekly from now on

Connexion Quote - Plan B and other options - Bookwhere? (Dijana/Stacey/Danielle)

  • There was a discussion about purchasing a Connexion subscription for the purpose of importing records into Alma - however, the subscription is beyond the scope of the budget

  • As an alternative option Bookwhere is being researched, if it would be beneficial and if a subscription is feazable

  • Bookwhere would rely on Z23950 sharing - allowing to harvest records from multiple universities. Unfortunately, it will also harvest information that may not be applicable to your college. A number of these libraries may already be accessible through Alma’s metadata editor

  • There may be a need for a new import profile that will “Clean” the records being imported

  • ACTION ITEM: Everyone to look into what resources are available through Bookwhere and compare this to the list of pre-existing resources in Alma

Come Go Live what we are asking the colleges not to do in terms of the NZ (Stacey/Danielle)

001/003 to 035 clean up for NZ after Go Live (Stacey/Liana)

  • The 001/003 combined to make the 035 field is causing issues in the 035 match points

    • We are hoping to resolve this issue post-go live,

    • At first, we were going to push back on accepting the data, but that was not possible

    • Ex-Libris has been contacted, and they will assist by providing information on how to clean the issue up in the NZ

    • We think this issue may be affecting IZs too. If this is the case, additional cleanup will be needed

    • More to come…

NZ linking Guidelines Update (Danielle/Liana)

  • How to stage the project, one college at a time, French colleges first? What timeline?

  • Project Purpose: For linking IZ to the NZ

  • There needs to be a little more work done before the guidelines can be released

  • There have been 2 workflows prepared to push out to this group - a draft workflow that involves matching, like OCLC and ISBN numbers

  • There is some follow up still required

  • Would allow French colleges link to and connect to the Network Zone

  • Possibility of creating a rota for linking - to avoid all colleges linking information at once

  • More information to come as sandbox is available for use again

  • More to be discussed in next meeting

CLO Metadata Standards

  • Metadata standards left to do

    • Notated Music,

    • CD-ROM info in other formats

    • Do we need Microform, Image, Mixed, Thesis?

  • Looking into making a User-Friendly format for the information so that it can be published and made accessible to the public

    • Simplified format (LibGuide, tables)

    • Straightforward/simplified information is needed - we are looking to create a concise, easily accessible guide that individuals can use without getting frustrated

  • Right now, a new LibGuide, created specifically for the CLO Metadata Standards information, will be created and linked to the pre-existing LibGuide.

    • ACTION ITEM: @Aura Hill and @Lauren Rupert to create/build LibGuide to house CLO Metadata Standards information

      • Sorted by material

      • With tables

      • Will be brought to the next meeting to discuss

Next Steps

  • Cataloguing Workflows:

    • 2 drafts are in the works - to be looked at in future

    • These flows are not prescriptive, they were created just to have something down on paper and can be rearranged as needed

    • Cataloguing Tools in the NZ (Norm Rules, Templates)

    • NZ Decisions https://clo-collaboration-spaces.atlassian.net/l/cp/hTZ2F2QB

      • ACTION ITEM: Everyone to look through the NZ Decisions document and bring any questions/comments and concerns back to the next meeting

Any other business (aob)?
