Update from Tom Sanville
-- LAC and CIRM meetings. PsychINFO changed to pay-to-play. AP Photo may also go this route. Otherwise, all else will remain the same. Review of EJC licenses later in the year.

-- ISI, SCOPUS separately. This may change. ISI expensive.

Group Technical Services TF2 recommendations and next steps (http://platinum.ohiolink.edu/dms/GroupTS/index.htm ; click on "Final report")
-- pilot projects. Possible hubs.
-- issues regarding one catalog system.
-- coalition of the willing, for now
-- hubs not as pilots but as another way to do work
-- RDA April 2010
-- OSU as test site. Nov. - Jan. 2010. Purpose of test is in part to see how much time and money is necessary for future training.
-- Suggestion to use ONET as training site.
-- 3 field changes: http://loc.gov/marc/formatchanges-RDA.html
-- RDA site: http://www.rdaonline.org/index.html
Catalog/ILS Architecture Steering Committee: update and discussion of recommendations
-- PCIRC first level.
-- Equinox. Alternative to III. Vendor using open source
-- Next, ERM, batch loading
-- Evolutionary project, not 2-3 years.
-- implement PCC.
Provider-neutral standard for electronic monographs
-- reproduction note currently exists. URL exists.
-- batch reclamation.
-- dups, 019 field
Electronic Resource Management Task Force - discussion of charge and formation
-- implementing the ERM module.TF examining issues and best practices,including new record structures,codes, and specifications, standards, workflows
-- use of the module for user access
-- use of the module for staff access and management of electronic resources
-- examination of local needs and practices
-- contribute to the development of functional requirements for a new catalog system so that electronic resource management functions are fully integrated into the initial design.
-- critical examination of local needs and practices and the implications for the OLINK central catalog
DMC-DRC (digital media center --> digital resource commons)migration and catalog records
-- all old DMC material has migrated. URLs in catalogs need to be updated. See DRC web page for chart.
-- CSU counts database as database, and use serials solutions for ejournals. Serials solutions is not one aggregator database.
-- how to count current serial subscriptions. Do you count EJC titles? Most, no.
USC proposal re: links from catalog to GoogleBooks
-- preview, more information, full text.
-- Suggestion: say "snap shot" instead.

Cooperative collection/cataloging of government documents (Question from Paul Kobulnicky, YSU)
"Here is the original question from Paul. I think this issue overlaps at least DMSC and CIRM, and possibly other committees as well. If we have time to kick it around a bit Monday, great. If not, I'll throw it out again for email discussion."
"Jeff [Trimble] and I were just talking about Federal Document records in our III system and I was wondering if anyone had started to talk about a coordinated, simplified State-wide governement document collection with streamlined record keeping in the Central catalog and associated web access or P-circ access for print? Why are we all loading Marcive records and storing materials that are really very lightly used? Can't we centralize this at great savings?"
