Discussion Items

Update from Decolonizing the Catalogue Committee

Decolonizing the College Catalogue Committee met last week. Patricia Buckley is stepping down and the subcommittee may become more of an advisory group. There will continue to be a connection with CLSP and Met/Cat subcommittee, and they were updated about the decolonization work in CLSP. Tiffany may be leading the group going forward.

Michelle from Canadore mentioned that the 695 field already being used by OCLC for something else (currently local field tagging table says “Reserved for the Authorship Identification”). The Met/Cat subcommittee will move this to field 693 and is considering using “author origin” for display in Primo VE. Dijiana is working on draft briefing note to bring forward to UX subcommittee for review.
