Attending: Adam, Jim, Joyce, Mark, Naun, Robert, Kate, Sarah
JSMIN met to address the question: After a year of preparing for integration, followed by a year of exchanging this grand idea for a more modest initiative, what do we hope to accomplish in 2015? Put more succinctly, what are our TSI goals for 2015? We came up with the following list (See also Basecamp) using the criteria that goals be reachable, desirable and meaningful.
- Collaborate on RDA training and documentation for support staff
- Share information on tools and collaborate on tool development
- Share processes for data clean-up.
- Share Blacklight what we are doing in Blacklight, e.g., Columbia will share code for our virtual call number browse and Cornell will share database terms and conditions.
- Assist in web archiving projects
- Consider field trips Send a cataloger to work for a period of time at the other institution?
