Pre-discussion prior to OARM presentation

7 minutes

Sarah/Lakshmi

• John suggested the charge of another group that should be revised: Shared Cataloging Program Advisory Committee (SCP AC) – UC Libraries (universityofcalifornia.edu)

Presentation by OARM

• Will discuss the following questions:

  • why should this be a new group? (vs. OST, CKG, etc.)

    • need for fewer experts and more diverse expertise

  • why should this be an ongoing group? (vs. project team)

23 minutes

Carla/Erica

• For reference: OARM-PT Final Report for OT - Google Docs

  • Carla and Erica highlighted elements of Proposal for a New, Ongoing Open Access Group (see page 8 )

• John asked if the charge of an existing group could be revised to cover the new need: Shared Cataloging Program Advisory Committee (SCP AC) – UC Libraries (universityofcalifornia.edu)

  • there were members of SCPAC in OARM and their input was considered (see page 9 ) - this work would not fall within the scope of SCPAC

• Gem asked if this work is already happening elsewhere and would this proposal make it more efficient? Or is this filling a new need?

  • OARM feels there’s a need for a group specific to address this issue

• John suggested expanding SCPAC by one person to fill this need

• Carla and Erica clarified that this new group would make recommendations to other groups

• Gem asked if this group would be doing work in Alma

  • Carla and Erica: no, just recommendations and monitoring issues that would affect Open Access systemwide

  • Sarah pointed out this is a theme with the other group (EIMP) - systemwide monitoring

• Erica and Carla offered to adapt current guidelines to fit this work - asked SILS OT if they would like a draft of this?

  • Sarah - not yet

• Sarah posed this question to SILS OT: should OARM reconvene considering new information/access (NZ accounts, etc.) or should this be seen as a snapshot?

  • consensus: should be seen as a snapshot

• Debrief of this discussion will happen in a future meeting

  • All OT members asked to write down their thoughts for later

Updates - from All-Chairs, Leadership Group, etc.

• Provide updates from other SILS meetings

  • preliminary agenda has been sent to ExL

  • recently posted in Slack regarding current list of tickets: Current ExL Case Reports

  • has developed a program that will notify when ExL makes changes

  • Research Assistant - strong disapproval of this feature

    • ExL did not appear to understand the negative reaction or adjust their presentation to account for that. It also feels like they’re simply not listening to concerns.

    • There were many questions at ELUNA before they turned on this feature that went unanswered.

• Jackie

  • brought up recent issue with duplicate 900 rules - very unhelpful response from ExL
