Creating a Central Location on the Wiki for Recording Issues Under Investigation. This was a continuation of the discussion from October's JSMIN / Working Group Leads meeting. The Batch Processing group already has a Proof Registry Scorecard in place for its work, but would prefer to maintain it on their section of the wiki. We decided to modify the TSI Proof Registry to include specific work in progress by adding a status field to the entries. Jim and Kate will take responsibility for this task (though Naun indicated after the meeting that he would add the entry for the Korean cataloging project that we suspended earlier this year).
Decison Not to Renew Consortial Edition of SerSol 360 Resource Manager. We talked a bit about the E-Resources Working Group's forthcoming recommendation not to renew the consortial option for our RM systems. As they mentioned in a recent email, through testing they discovered it be an inadequate workflow-sharing tool as designed, and in some cases it doesn't even perform as promised. The few functions that are useful do not justify the $20,000 cost to renew the current subscription in February. Joyce added that Jesse and she plan to meet with Serials Solutions reps at ALA to talk about how ProQuest will be folding this functionality into Intota and weigh in on the limitations they see in the current product. It is important to remember, though, that we have already taken a significant step towards increased collaborative work on e-resources by electing the use the same ERM product and version.
