September 2013
September 18th in Olin 703
Agenda:
- VRWG Brochures- Kaila, Danielle, and Susette have agreed to take on getting brochures updated (in line with the VRWG bookmarks). Need to make sure that any URL's listed continue to function/redirect with the library site redesign. Susette 'has the keys' to images.library.cornell.edu
- Makerspaces- There have been discussions about makerspaces in relation to the tech campus planning. There are individuals who are interested in these types of spaces in CUL, on campus and in the community. CU doesn't have central space/service point; schools/departments are each meeting this need separately. Kaila went on a site visit to the Fayetteville Free Library makerspace. Jenn Colt is involved with Ithaca Generator (http://ithacagenerator.org/). Roberta is tuned into what a number of departments are doing on campus. Kaila and Marsha are considering putting together a brown bag to introduce folks to the concept of makerspaces.
- Pictor Migration Update- Jason, Hannah, and Steven reviewed a mapping of Pictor metadata in an early version of Shared Shelf's complex cataloging tool. The mapping and tool itself showed a lot of promise. There will be another round of review soon.
- Digital Collections and Discovery Discovery- DNA begins discussing how to get the metadata in the Discovery environment this week. DNA will be getting in touch with folks as issues come up, whether we can use thumbnails, IP issues with the metadata, impacts to the library homepage, etc.
