The Non-MARC Metadata Team finds the model of TSI as initiative a "more natural fit" than integration. The Cataloging Team is engaged in several projects, including a small but noteworthy leadership role (as 2CUL) in organizing multi-institutional Zepheira training for the BIBFRAME initiative, an effort that lowered registration rates from $1,500 to under $500 per participant. The Batch Processing Team continues to share information about areas of mutual interest in biweekly phone calls. Alan and Deb are about to begin work with Kate and Jim on a print serials workflow study at both institutions.
Lois Purcell is working on a tabular inventory of procedures for use by both institutions , in consultation with Irinaand has chatted with Irina about platforms for documentation. We also talked about the question of flexibility in documentation methods with the need to archive TSI project information centrally. We will invite Lois to the next JSMIN meeting (on Nov. 13th).
Joyce raised the need for a central location for recording issues under investigation at Columbia, Cornell, and TSI. We will continue discussion of this idea at the next JSMIN meeting as well.
