Peter, Selene, Scott, Dan, Fran, Laura, Lyman, and Daisy in attendance.
- Sean will be joining our group. He will begin taking responsibility for A-Z administration. Sean will begin attending our next scheduled D&D meeting.
- Shibboleth: There is still a question about how Shibboleth will work for authentication with our databases. Right now, Lyman knows that it will work with Science Direct.
- Both Scott and Peter voiced concerns that EJS Journals show an EBSCO link that should bring people to full-text but regularly does not. In these cases, full-text remains accessible through the publisher website. Peter will check in with Sean about this problem.
- The new website will roll out early next week. Updating URLs will be an ongoing process as problems are noticed. Comments will be solicited on the new site.
- Icons: Daisy presented new icons to be used in the catalog. She is still working on all of the icons needed, but all agreed that what she showed the group looked great.
- On the blog (below), Dan collected some sites that offer access to open-access journals. Most of the sites' listings will need to be checked for duplication with the open-access journals already in the catalog. Please look at the list below and comment on the packages presented. Please also add any other sites that offer open-access journals that could be considered for our catalog.
- Discussion took place regarding reassessment of our current catalog. Questions were raised about whether or not we should go forward with reassessing the choices for a new catalog or new catalog interface. There was general agreement that it would beneficial to look again at open-ware products like Vufind. People were asked to take a look at academic catalogs using Vufind for the next meeting.
