Notes from TSI JSMIN meeting, January 8, 2015
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 commercial tools and collaborate on tool development
- Share processes for data clean-up.
- Share what we are each 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?
- Work together on planning for the next ILS
- Look at our imbalances to find balances
- Leverage and share BIBFRAME expertise between ourselves and nationally
- Work with LC on BIBFRAME training for the PCC
- Leverage and share name identities work, perhaps with Harvard, using ISNI and ORCID
- Learn about OCLC services together
- Step up work on e-resources trouble shooting
- Share what Christina did on the Dashboard–perhaps work jointly to put it into production. (It already has Cornell/Columbia Callisto data)
- Look at Intota together-- Jesse will virtually attend session on 1/15 with Kate Howe
- Improve technology–more use of webex?
- Explore improving Eastview record quality with Serials Solutions. This may be business problem rather than a data clean-up problem
- Publish print serials study and decide whether to extend methodology to other functional areas
- Work with Jesse on guidelines for negotiating with vendors on packages
- Continue Robert's CONSER representation for both libraries
- Share analytic cataloging, or TOC scanning for large sets and consider OCR for searching
