IUG Meeting: Tuesday
This week, I am in Washington DC at the IUG meeting.
Today, I went to the following sessions:
Early Bird Session: Cataloging Forum I joined other catalogers at this 7:30 AM session where we learned about the new Millennium print templates, Overdrive (downloadable audio/video titles) and Millennium, and the feature where a library will be able to record the last five people who modified a bibliographic record. Attendees expressed an interest in a spell-check function and feature where users are only authorized to edit specific fields in an item record. Link to Handouts (Password Required)
"What Your Mother Never Told You About Loan Rules" The presenters discussed various loan rule elements and how they interact with each other. As a cataloger, I suspect I may have missed some of the nuances of the program, but I did get some information that might help our circulation staff to troubleshoot a bug in our loan rules.

"What's Happening in Tech Services: Acquisitions, Serials, and Cataloging Development Update Some of the issues discussed were: Editing templates, Editing unposted invoices, Streamlined deletion of cancelled orders, and the feature where one can view the initials of the last five people to modify a bib record. The session ran longer than expected, so the audience was told to go to the online handouts for the section on TS workflow alternatives. (I am still waiting for the online handouts to be posted. When they're posted, they'll be here: Link to Handouts (Password Required))
All-Conference Lunch There was a nice selection of boxed lunches available. I had a chicken caesar salad, an apple, and a sugar cookie.
