Present: Boris Michev, Liz Muller, Kavitha Reddy, Mira Basara, Danielle Mericle
- Current number of maps in collection is 157
- Will eventually add about 200 NY topographical maps
- Plan is to remove dependency on Rick and keep things simple for Luna load to keep future workflow straightforward
- Will start focusing on project again in late September as Mira is v busy for next 2 weeks
Who's doing what
- Danielle will send Liz VICOS project details (simple and works well with old and new Luna browser)
- Liz will also look at Ariel, cross-collection searching, eventual ARTstor migration
- Rick was going to create handles for every image to link Luna to Voyager. Liz will look at new Luna for permanent URLs
- In about 3 weeks, Mira will ask Surindher for space on test server so she can experiment. Images in Luna can't be over 200MB or upload will fail (Mira usually tinkers with sizes to make them work). Mira has never loaded jpegs. Uploads for RMC once a month
- Handling multi-sheet images: Add 3rd column naming each sheet to distinguish images. Mira will investigate multi-sheet feature in new Luna
- Boris will analyze NY topographical maps which currently have a single BibID. An analysis probably exists already. Maps should be ready for next round
- Boris will consult Mira/take class on new Luna

- Maps still have to be cleared for copyright. Liz will use the metadata extracted from Voyager to create a table with BibID, title, creator, publisher, and date. Boris will pass this on to a student who will find out which maps are in the public domain and edit the spreadsheet accordingly. Liz will then use the remaining Bib IDs to do an updated extraction from Voyager. Copyright clearance should be completed in about a week - 10 days.
- Title of collection will be "Images from the Map Collection, Cornell University Library"

Boris
- Earlier problem with filenames has been fixed. Boris is doing a final review before sending to Danielle
- Will work on collection name, description, and rights for Luna (will look at new Luna version and the 18 collections currently on test server)
- Will contact Mira about updated rights sheet
Liz
- Met with LTS and will be going with MARCXML format
- Will look into displaying call numbers instead of Bib IDs for patrons in Luna
- Will also look into including a language field for non-English maps, but not a priority

Boris
- Now 2/3 of the way through linking bib records to filenames. Will take 2 weeks more at most
- A number of files are in jpg format
- Boris will notify Danielle when complete so DLIT can review images for quality
Liz
- Once image review complete, Liz will be sent the bibid-filename spreadsheet
- LTS will extract MARC records and will work with Rick to determine ideal format (MARCXML, CSV, etc)
- Mira or Rick will send Liz sample KVRF files
Rick
- Current schedule means he won't have time to work on project until end of August
- Starting w/400GB, somewhere between 400-1200 images
- Images scanned by external vendor are in TIFF format; ours are in JPG
