All task group members were present.
The meeting was held at the Health Sciences and Human Services Library.
The meeting began with an overview of the ILL process using CLIO, presented by Carol Vaeth. Beverly Gresehover and Vickie Gray then gave a brief demonstration of the ILLiad software.
Tanner Wray presented a general overview of ILL. He described the three core services – borrowing, lending, and campus document delivery and the philosophies underlying ILL. He outlined the key functions that ILL systems manage and noted standards important to ILL including the ILL ISO standard and the NCIP standard.
Tanner then discussed the systems and processes integral to ILL including management systems, OCLC and DOCLINE resource sharing systems, fee management systems, and ILL in ILS systems, particularly Aleph. His discussion concluded with thoughts on where ILL is going.
The task force then reviewed the resource sharing survey drafted by Carol and Carol offered to update the survey and post to the COIcircresill list. ITD will then update the responses for discussion at our December meeting. Based on the responses, we hope to be able to make recommendations to CLD regarding important issues like library management software for the consortium. We will then determine the next steps for the task group in assisting ILL departments through the OCLC ILL migration.
The group discussed the move of USMILL listserve members to the COI listserve and assured Jean that all members have been informed and given sufficient time to reply to this move so the listserve change can take place; Jean will move members to the COI list.
We decided that at the December meeting we will discuss circresill issues from the perspective of the campus priority lists in order to recommend where our interests should be focused. At our next meeting Sharon and Tanner will lead the discussion on determining what the consortium considers important for circresill development. All members of the task group as asked to read the responses to Tom Wilson’s development plan.
We decided that our group needs to meet for three-hour sessions instead of two. Our next meeting is scheduled for December 9, from 9 – noon at UMUC. Stephen is scheduled to be the minutes-taker for the December meeting.
