D&D minutes 1/7/10

D&D January 7, 2010
Present: Peter, Dan, Daisy, Shawn, Robin, Scott, Lyman, Sibyl, Donna,
Laura, Selene

1. Peter talked to Mara
Next Gen OPAC—don't let the cost factor in to our considerations
Linkresolver—Dean's Council agreed we should go forward, Mara agreed
that a separate group should look at these, as we recommended
Next Gen Rubric—construct this using the plan we suggested, send it to
Dean's Council for final approval.
HathiTrust now contains almost a million records. We will reconsider our
options.

2. Proposed criteria for evaluating nextgen OPAC tools
Selene described the rubric developed by the subgroup for evaluating
existing systems. There are prescreening criteria, high priority
criteria and medium priority criteria. These are all yes/no questions.
There's also a list of qualitative assessment criteria to consider. We
went through the categories.
Selene will mark the criteria items that are new items with an asterisk
or some other symbol.
Scott pointed out that we don't want to include pre-screening criteria
that will eliminate systems that we really do want to consider, so we
have to be especially careful with that list.
Selene will circulate this amongst ourselves. We should look for places
that need more definition.
Peter will check with Diane about when we can schedule an open forum.
