Welcome to the Met/Cat Subcommittee, Venessa!

• Welcome to Venessa from Mohawk College; we are thrilled to have you working with us!

Subcommittee Chair Update from Implementation Steering Committee (Dijana)

• There is no Implementation Steering Committee update for this meeting - their last meeting was cancelled.

Decide on Withdrawals from the NZ

• Question: should we keep bib records in NZ even after the last college removes their own holdings records?

  • The subcommittee moved that we should get rid of bib records in the NZ even after the last college removed their own holding record. This was advocated for the following reasons:

    • The records are likely to be out of date or have some form of duplication.

    • However, a record with an OCLS number and good cataloguing should be held onto

    • It would be likely that there are orphan records in the system and that people would be using newer/newest records - these records should be deleted after a certain date (6 months, for instance)

    • It would need to be decided if this would be a manual or an automated process - this decision would impact how often a ‘cleaning’ could occur.

• It was decided that the topic is worth revisiting and discussing more at a later date.

External Resources List - Decision

• Issues in discovering how to copy catalogue from resource sharing records into the personal catalogues (exporting)

• Placement Options - should be set to local, as it was recommended that libraries import records via external search to the IZ, edit in the IZ, and THEN share with NZ if appropriate. However, when ‘placement options’ are set to local, external resources configured in the NZ are NOT be available to the IZ. Therefore, it was determined that this list of working external resources would be available as a recommendation for libraries wishing to configure in their IZ.

• The subcommittee can begin including recommendations to other colleges to utilize the 8 working institutions listed above in their Network Zone (NZ) work in the workflow/recommendations from the Met/Cat subcommittee.

• A concern of this subcommittee is the availability of collections with good working resources (good scope, etc.).

  • It was suggested that we begin with the resources from working institutions that are already favoured by Subcommittee members (for their record quality and variety), such as Ohio State and Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC)

• List of Working External Resources:

  • University of British Colombia (UBC) - Academic Institution

  • University of Alberta (UAlberta) - Academic Institution

  • University of Toronto (UofT) - Academic Institution

  • Dalhousie University (Dal) - Academic Institution

  • Ohio State University (OSU) - Academic Institution

  • Yale University (YU) - Academic Institution

  • Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC) - Consortium

  • Toronto Public Library (TPL) - Public Library

• List of Non-Functioning External Resources:

  • Queen’s University (QU) - Academic Institution

  • Université Laval (UL) - Academic Insitution

  • Lakehead University (Lakehead U) - Academic Institution

  • University of Ottawa (uOttawa) - Academic Institution

  • University of Victoria (UVic) - Academic Institution

  • University of Windsor (UWindsor) - Academic Institution

  • Northern Alberta Insitute Technology (NAIT) - Academic Institution

  • The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - Academic Institution

  • Massicuchites Institution of Technology (MIT) - Academic Institution

  • Havard University (HU) - Academic Institution (freezing specifically)

  • University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) - Academic Institution

Bookwhere

• Bookwhere has a feature that rates how complete an RDA and MARC record available for download is.

• There needs to be a continued investigation of Connection and Bookwhere to create a better base of information.

• ACTION ITEM: @Kathleen Lindsay to present a Bookwhere “How-To”/demonstration at the next subcommittee meeting (09/21)

Creation of Shared Templates based on Standards OCLS priority

• It was agreed that it would be nice to have the Shared Templates based on Standards prioritized; however, the subcommittee also realizes that there may be more pressing/urgent projects on the OCLS agenda.

• The subcommittee has identified three (3) Shared Templates based on Standards that they would like to begin with

  • Book

  • Streamed Video

  • Streamed Audio

• This topic keeps emerging as Danielle continues her work on the workflows

• The templates would outline what is needed for brief records (the minimum standards)

• There was the idea presented for templates for multi-volume sets (to provide standardization)

• The subcommittee agreed that it is most important to identify our priorities and move from that point.

Review CLO Metadata Standards

• DVDs, Audio-Streaming, Audio-CD, Audio Cassette, and Audiobook https://hllr.libapps.com/libguides/admin_c.php?g=731324&p=5252370

• It was agreed that the “Additional Information” sections can be blank

• ACTION ITEM: @Lauren Rupert to change the language of “See MARC Standards?” to “Consult MARC Standards” and provide links to the relevant standards page.

• ACTION ITEM: @Lauren Rupert to complete the “Audio-CD” and “Audiobook” sections

  4. Electronic Resources

     1. Single items

     2. Collections (using the instructions Liz followed to create import profiles in the NZ)
