D&D minutes 2/5/09

Present: Peter, Donna, Laura, Fran, Dan, Lyman, Scott

1. Ebsco Webinar
Still not sure who will be in charge of LinkSource.
Waiting for structural changes in tech services.

2. E-Books/Hathi trust
http://www/hathitrust.org
Hathi trust books don't have MARC records, making them more challenging to move into Voyager. Disposition to back burner.

3. Limit Voyager searches to last 30 days or last 60 days
http://library.uta.edu/
Guy working in at UT Arlington has a new book list that works off of Voyager and allows limiting by date. He has recreated the Voyager look and feel for this option.
Very nice, but not a high priority at the moment.

4. Link from New Books records to Goodreads
http://www.goodreads.com/
Others: http://metacritic.com, http://librarything.com
Content of goodreads is not for a general audience.
Maybe this is something for the Libraries Facebook page? Load the iRead or Visual Bookshelf application in the Libraries Facebook account.
Let's talk about this some more.

5. D&D Blog
We're posting minutes in the spirit of transparency with the intent of pushing the envelope in thinking about our patrons
Will put minutes on the blog. Minutes are aimed at Library employees
