Present: Jim, Kate, Adam, Sarah, Colleen, Robert, Mark, Joyce
- Joyce, Jesse, Kizer and Jeff will discuss guidelines on negotiating vendors on packages. This to-do needs input from Collection Development to proceed.
- Intota training is scheduled for Sept 23-25 and will be paid out of Mellon travel money. It will be held at Columbia.
- We did a round robin to candidly share our thoughts on transition plans for mainstreaming TSI once the grant ends. The consensus is that not much will change.
- Points to take forward to the 2CUL Steering Committee (meeting Sept. 28 in Ithaca) include:
- JSMIN continues to value the natural, productive and intellectual engagement that has developed in this group and several of the functional teams.
- A wider group of colleagues for consultation is of great value and is worth continuing.
- The Intota training/implementation will create more similar workflows and increase opportunity for collaboration.
- CJK staff want to continue collaboration in areas such as Korean duplicates and refining the Chinese purchasing plan through informal communication.
- If the new automation librarian in MPS is hired, there may be increased opportunities for sharing expertise in batch processes.
- Robert plans to continue his role as Cornell's CONSER representative.
- POOF! development will continue as an initiative.
- Non MARC Metadata and E-resources plan to continue to meet and share information and best practices. New hires in those areas will be brought on board.
- The teams will be put on hiatus rather than disbanded.
- JSMIN will meet less frequently but we hope to have a modest budget for travel at least for 2016.
- JSMIN will explore the role of 2CUL TSI in broader collaborative initiatives.
