Summary of the June ILS Operations / Technology Joint Committee Meeting
July 11, 2008 04:02 PM | AutomationDonovan Lambright, Automation Librarian
Now that the agenda and packet for the July ILS Operations / Technology Joint Committee Meeting have been posted, it seemed like a good time to post a brief summary of decisions made at the June meeting:
- EnvisionWare-We have had difficulty getting answers to some of our questions regarding licensing, pricing, and technical operation of the software. We are deferring a decision until our July meeting, when we will (hopefully) have more information.
- Spanish-Language iPac-Based on level of interest shown in the recent survey, SELCO will implement the Spanish interface at three test sites, to include one of the Rochester Public high schools. After this test, the ILS Operations and Technology Policy joint committee will decide whether to continue implementations using anecdotal evidence from the libraries and statistics on catalog.
- Next-Generation Catalog-The joint committee will view web-based demos from Aquabrowser and MasterKey, a metasearch product from LibLime. One product will be demoed in each of the next two meetings (July and August) with schedule to be determined.
- Direct Purchase Requests in iPac-No action will be taken.
- Composition of ILS Operations Committee-This will be added to the agendas for the next Users Group and Advisory Committee meetings to gather further input. An election for the school media center slot formerly occupied by Shirley Taylor is scheduled for September. Further changes may still be made and this item will remain on the joint committee's meeting agenda as old business.
- Meeting Dates-Next two meetings are July 17 and August 21.
