Notes from TSI JSMIN meeting, January 8, 2015

Attending: Adam, Jim, Joyce, Mark, Naun, Robert, Kate, Sarah

JSMIN met to address the question: After a year of preparing for integration, followed by a year of exchanging this grand idea for a more modest initiative, what do we hope to accomplish in 2015?  Put more succinctly, what are our TSI goals for 2015?  We came up with the following list  (See also Basecamp) using the criteria that goals be reachable, desirable and meaningful.

  1. Collaborate on RDA training and documentation for support staff
  2. Share information on commercial tools and collaborate on tool development
  3. Share processes for data clean-up.
  4. Share what we are each doing in Blacklight, e.g., Columbia will share code for our virtual call number browse and Cornell will share database terms and conditions
  5. Assist in web archiving projects
  6. Consider field trips Send a cataloger to work for a period of time at the other institution?
  7. Work together on planning for the next ILS
  8. Look at our imbalances to find balances
  9. Leverage and share BIBFRAME expertise between ourselves and nationally
  10. Work with LC on BIBFRAME training for the PCC
  11. Leverage and share name identities work, perhaps with Harvard, using ISNI and ORCID
  12. Learn about OCLC services together
  13. Step up work on e-resources trouble shooting
  14. Share what Christina did on the Dashboard–perhaps work jointly to put it into production. (It already has Cornell/Columbia Callisto data)
  15. Look at Intota together-- Jesse will virtually attend session on 1/15 with Kate Howe
  16. Improve communication technology–more use of webex?
  17. Explore improving Eastview record quality with Serials Solutions.  This may be  business problem rather than a data clean-up problem
  18. Publish print serials study and decide whether to extend methodology to other functional areas
  19. Work with Jesse (and Collection Development) on guidelines for negotiating with vendors on packages
  20. Create a place where we can compile the status of and issues surrounding potential joint e-resource purchases
  21. Continue Robert's CONSER representation for both libraries
  22. Share analytic cataloging, or TOC scanning for large sets and consider OCR for searching
  23. Verify that channels for POOF updating are in place

We agreed to suspend work on shared procedure inventory until 2CUL makes a decision to move to a shared LMS.  At that point, we will re-evaluate the need for this work.
