Bibliographic Access Group
Minutes for February 19, 2002
Meeting @ SML 409
10-11:30
Present: Arakawa, Bouche, Crockford-Peters, Nellhaus, Swanekamp, Richie
(recording)
Absent: Sprague
1. The minutes for the meeting February 12 (Nellhaus) were reviewed,
revised with minor changes and approved.
2. Announcements - Nicole Bouche announced she will send along the
meeting minutes to Cesar Zapata after approval. He will add them to
the Bibliographic Access Group portion of the SQIC web site. Cesar will
also add the dates of all the group's meetings to the website, in order
to keep an accurate record of all past meeting dates.
3. Catalog Management Policy for Missing Material - The essential contents
of the Bibliographic Access Group's final report to SQIC would include:
· A cover memo with the unanimous opinion of the Bibliographic
Access Group that a decision must be made on this issue soon since it
will impact on the implementation of ORBIS 2 and on research services
dealing with missing material.
· A single page summary of majority and minority opinions on
recommendations.
· Attachments - including a detailed itemization of the consequences
for each recommendation, and a rough draft of the "help pop-up
page" wording for ORBIS 2.
4. Kerberized Telnet - Tobin Nellhaus received confirmation from Richard
Crane of ITS that there would be few proxy server issues with the new
Kerberized Telnet access to the University Library's databases. With
Crane's information, the Bibliographic Access Group made an educated
guess that there should be few difficulties with implementation and
that problems will be addressed as they arise. Similarly for those patrons
using UNIX for access, any problems will be addressed as they occur.
The Chair of the Bibliographic Access Group distributed a document laying
out the plans and procedures for implementing the new Kerberized Telnet
authentication process. The document included the wording and terminology
to be used for messages and announcements to the public and staff prior
to and after implementation. The Group will consult with the Library
Systems office about the schedule for implementation after which these
announcements will go out warning staff and patrons of these access
changes.
5. OPAC Implementation - Notes from the ORBIS 2 OPAC Implementation
Group concerning MARC tag labeling were shared with the Bibliographic
Access Group for input. These labels would appear in the public catalog
in brief and long displays. The Bibliographic Access Group looked through
the recommendations for each MARC field, and agreed with the Implementation
Group's recommendations or requested further clarification where agreement
could not be met.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard Richie
