1. Monograph Ordering Working Group
Discussion of Phase 2 charge:
1. The team will look at the feasibility of concentrating some specialized ordering at Columbia.
2. Use of the Amazon account will need consultation with financial services in both institutions.
3. More exploration of Columbia's light use of POOF! is needed.
4. A fruitful area of collaboration may be having Columbia use Cornell's WorldCat Select account.
2. Cataloging Working Group
Discussion of Phase 2 charge:
1. The Phase 1 charge was adjusted to include both copy and original cataloging.
2. Pedro will be added to the Group.
3. Irina noted that there are several themes in the Phase 2 charge, including talking with selectors about collection development trends, training and documentation, national involvement, etc.
4. Naun mentioned that communication should be a component of the charge and he and Irina will add that point to the charge.
5. The Steering Committee will look into problems with accessing Columbia documentation that plagued the team in phase 1. This may be an issue for public services groups as well?
6. We discussed some concerns about Alma and supervision.
