Updates/announcements (Please add in advance)

Information sharing

10 min.

TJ

  • SILS All Chairs update: ExL refused to make all NZ data accessible to IZ Analytics due to their concern for negative impacts on Analytics (built on Oracle) performance. Questions for all OSTs: are there data elements you want to access from IZ Analytics but currently not available?

    • Campuses/locations that hold titles

    • Campus coverage + NZ coverage for electronic titles

  • Time to consider nominating yourself as the vice-chair for next year

Homosaurus Best Practices

  • In Example 4, deleted Homosaurus term that duplicated LCSH term to align with Application Guidelines

  • Clarified to “Always include the URI in subfield $0 using the common URI beginning with https://homosaurus.org; do not use the language specific URI.”

  • Discussion in URIs in MARC group about adding language in $2. (But our best practices will remain the same.)

OCLC holdings for SLF-deposited items

  • Practices differ among campuses. (Most campuses delete OCLC holdings except for special collections items. But a few do not.) Also different practices in whether campuses delete analytics for sets that have been deposited.

Interest in harmonizing general cataloging policy procedures?

Postmortem: Running Identify Records That Are Not Used in the Network

  • Questions about how the report was filtered--it doesn’t seem like enough bound-with records were filtered out.

  • If we do approve a set to delete, would it go through the normal process? (marked for deletion, etc.)

 

@TJ Kao (Unlicensed) will ask Gem about

  • how report was filtered for bound-withs

  • if the set would go through the normal deletion process

  • why some records have holding campuses listed
