Minutes for the Meeting of February 12, 2002
Present: Arakawa, Bouché (Chair), Crockford-Peters, Nellhaus
(recording), Richie, Swanekamp
Absent: Sprague
1. The minutes from the meeting of February 5 (Recorder: S. Arakawa)
were reviewed and approved with minor changes. Minutes for the meeting
of January 29 (Recorder: S. Crockford-Peters) still pending.
2. Bouché revised the calendar of meeting dates and recorders.
3. LOST/MISSING ITEMS OPTIONS STATEMENT:
· The committee reviewed the revised draft, taking up various
aspects:
· Clarification was requested about the audience and goals of
the Options statement; the audience is SQIC, and the goals are to identify
key issues and points of view, and to make a recommendation.
· The group discussed the possible benefits of OPAC display of
records for titles no longer held, specifically in terms of titles that
may have been stolen. The group agreed that having a record display
in the OPAC would be useful to used/antiquarian book dealers, eBay purchasers
and other people who might consult Yale's OPAC when they have an item
in hand that they think may be of suspicious origin.
· The collection inventories, which were called for in the recent
Goal Group reports to LMC, and generally supported as a key collections
management objective, will reveal items that are now gone, and Orbis
records that need correction.. OPAC users may wonder whether the Recon
project really caught all of the cards, if records disappear from public
view. Keeping records in the OPAC would aid efforts to improve the information
in Orbis.
· There was some discussion of how displaying records in the
OPAC affects ILL, Borrow Direct, blind requests and so forth.
· Other revision suggestions included eliminating all references
to selectors de-selecting materials, and adding a separate Web page
on the meaning of a "catalog of record," which would include
information on why an item might no longer be available. [Mattered referred
subsequent to this meeting to the OPAC Implementation Group.] This document
also should include information on the effects of Recon cleanup for
OPAC accuracy.
4. KERBERIZED TELNET:
· The committee reviewed the information that would be sent to
Telnet users before the Library switches to Kerberized Telnet for accessing
licensed remote library resources, and the message that they would receive
if they attempt to use the insecure Telnet client.
· There was some discussion of which email lists should be used
to distribute the information. Those cited were: YULIB, Select-L, YULPUB-L,
YULINST-L.
· Posting a "news" message on the library front door
(contact Julie Linden) was also recommended.
NEXT MEETING: February 19, 2002. Recorder: Rich Richie
Respectfully submitted,
Tobin Nellhaus
