USMAI Resource Sharing Task Group
Minutes August 20, 2007 - UMBC Technology Center
DRAFT
Welcome to Sharon Epps.
July Minutes Approved.
Annual Highlights Report Approved. Bev will forward to CLD.
Circ Subgroup Report
- Everly will send out a draft survey re: alumni & special borrowers to the Circ Subgroup for comment. She will send subgroup comments to RSTG by Monday 8/27.
- Sub-group is looking at CLD comments on Phase II Purge; they will compile answers and forward to RSTG.
- Unique identifiers on UMB campus- customer number. Customer number remains the same even if barcode changes.
- Subgroup will draft survey questions on standardized renewal limits including auto renewal and expiry dates. Jamie explained that the expiry warning worked in Aleph v. 14, did not work in v. 16, but is working again in v.18. Because of some staff concerns, it has been suppressed until staff survey responses are reviewed.
Statewide Delivery Service/SLRC Delivery System Project (Maryland Library Partnership)
Carol received a letter from Daria Parry stating that SLRC received a grant for the Maryland Library Partnership to conduct a study involving a statewide public library delivery system. The study will begin in October and finalize sometime in early winter. Irene Padilla mentioned to the Maryland Library Partnership that USMAI was interested in investigating how we might be involved or participate in the statewide delivery system. Though it was agreed that it was a good idea, they felt the study should involve only the public libraries as the primary customer and then use the results for future discussion with USMAI. This project is on HOLD until further notice.
Jamie’s action items
- ILLiad- next steps: Jamie spoke with Uche, Dave Kennedy, and Hongyan re: ILLiad 7/2 upgrade. Plan is to install the test at CP first. They will test and bring up 7.2 for CP first to figure out what problems might occur and what will need to be done for the satellite installation. No time frame has been set up yet.
- ITD is folding CP support into the USMAI support work flow.
- ITD is working on Shibboleth for all satellites.
- They are working on separating out the satellite ILLiad Web Reports for more accurate copyright reporting.
- Due Date Change: ITD is testing this now. We need to find out if individual campuses want to change their local due dates to the global due dates.
- Patron Scrub: They are still testing the procedure. RSTG needs to discuss the parameters such as how far back to scrub, which histories to scrub, etc. (loans, holds, cash...)
- (Alumni and Special Borrowers issue has been referred to the Circ Subgroup)
- Circ/Res/ILL RX issue is being resolved. RX’s are being acknowledged.
OCLC Union Listing: see next entry.
OCLC Union Listing
Carol sent a letter to Mary Alice Robinson at Palinet with the information she needed to work out a preliminary pricing structure for the USMAI to contract for regularly scheduled downloads of our serial holdings. No response as of this date; Carol will send out another letter asking is she needs more information. OCLC has the guidelines and specs for bib record compliance; Carol will email Jamie the web page address. On-going.
ACTION Items:

- Everly will ask BL, CS, ES, ML, SM if they are interested in improving their local staff due date by changing it to match the global staff due date. Salisbury said yes already.

- Everly will draft a survey on standardized renewal limits, Expiry dates and automatic renewals.
- Everly and Circ Subgroup will look at the questions CLD had re: Purge Document
- Stephen will contact Laura to see if there is a list of databases & contract content concerning interlibrary loan of articles
- Carol will draft a letter to send to Betty Day re: databases & adding an ILL clause to the contract for permission to interlibrary loan articles
- Bev and Stephen will talk to Celia about the call for 4 new RSTG members to replace those leaving in December. Put the call out in September, for the 4 to come on in October so there is overlap.
