- The Linksource subcommittee has finished; a report is forthcoming. Tina mentioned that an EBSCO rep had informed her that a new version of Linksource had been released, and is in use at UVM, with many alleged improvements.
- 260,000 HATHI truest records are now available and can be uploaded to Voyager. The records contain minimal cataloging. OCLC is working to create fuller cataloging for these records, but it's unclear what the status of the project is, or what the cost will be. Lyman will upload a sample batch of 100-200 records, and Peter will share these with cataloging librarians. D & D supports the project; we're interested in getting something added to the record, such as [electronic resource] or [electronic book], so that when it comes up as a duplicate in search results, the user will understand the difference in format.
- We looked briefly at some Vu Find implementations, then talked about the process for evaluating and recommending "next generation" solutions. Two subcommittees were formed: one will create a comprehensive list of possible solutions, reporting back in two weeks (Scott, Robin, Peter); a second will create a rubric/list of evaluative criteria (Lyman, Selene, and up to two others -- to be recruited by Peter), reporting back in four weeks.
