Notes
- Critical Cataloging & MD group/task force?:
- several members of MWG in this group. Meeting attendees will report back. Group nascent, charge not set etc
- should MWG be somehow engaged with this group? If so, how? Possibly an info dissemination role?
- Note that critical cataloging & MD is not actually a metadata-specific problem, but rather a holistic collections problem especially wrt what goes online.
- ie: Paniccioli issues are privacy & nudity related
- ie: fallout from grant funding structure (no money to revisit past work). frequent problems with rights review
- will policy & policy documentation for local practice come out of this task force?
- Maybe MWG can keep an internal list of things/content/desc that should be subject to heavier scrutiny and act as lobbying group for resources to address/prioritization?
- Programming ideas:
- "Fix-a-thon": idea from Jasmine
- pick a collection to scrutinize, recruit volunteers to help nitpick & find problems, have a critical discussion of what is there, why, and how to fix
- Concern: curators will have hurt feelings (Dianne) (edited by Dianne to note that I do not want to offer that as a reason not to do it, but something to be mindful of as we try to get buy-in for the idea)
- Response: Better us (nb: CUL staff) now and calmly, rather than the public later & angry (Jasmine)
- Liz posits a "very legacy collection" or a grant-funded collection she worked on
- General response : good idea! Try to tread gently wrt feelings, while also reminding stakeholders that descriptive policy is being developed and will be be applied. It is not personal.
- something WFH project related: idea from Chloe
- see what people have been doing during WFH that could use MD-related training, etc. Is there a place for MWG to be useful here?
- ask CU-LIB for feedback on MD-related work. supply some examples in request.
- Liz interesting in collaborating on solicitation email
- Open Refine integration video test drive: idea from Jasmine
- Jasmine doing a recorded presentation & live Q&A in spring about Open Refine LOC authority work. Should she test drive with CUL?
- Early spring
- Open Refine carpentries workshop: Idea from Julia
- Julia can give workshop when her carpentries training is done. On cultural heritage material?
- Jasmine suggests Open Refine for MARC data, if possible
- Liz notes: with change to FOLIO, making Open Refine less intimidating would be great
- Liz suggests: ask Laura Wright for help with identifying real-world problems cataloging team would like to work on?
- ASpace migration: idea from Liz
- Liz still interested in talking about migration of Kheel records into ASpace
- Spring at the earliest due to migration timeline.
- Git training: idea from MD&O
- everyone in MD&O would like some training on how to use git, and proposed that Jenn could host a session.
- Jenn, though not at this meeting, is willing.
- "Fix-a-thon": idea from Jasmine
