Nylink Resource Sharing Discovery Working Group Minutes from Conference Call August 1, 2008 Present: Donna Dixon, Nylink; Susan Currie, Binghamton University; Maribeth Krupczak, New York State Library Division of Library Development Members were asked via email on 7/29 to visit the New York Resource Sharing Summit wiki at http://nyrss.wetpaint.com/ to review the work of our group and the Delivery group. All are asked to sign as members so that we can participate in online discussions and to make comments to new documents as they are posted. The group had been working on draft survey questions (compiled by Susan Currie and Jean Currie) at the same time as the Delivery group, with the intention of doing a combined survey.
The Delivery Group has decided instead to create some delivery scenarios to be posted to the wiki for the community to react to; the first of these has been posted. A subset of our group (Donna Dixon, Julie Cunningham, Susan Currie and Cyril Oberlander) met at the Nylink Annual Meeting in May, and generally agreed that because so much has changed and developed in the New York resource sharing landscape since the resource sharing summit in June 2007, particularly in the discovery area, that we may wish to narrow our focus from a global survey of discovery to look at what is going on just in New York—identifying initiatives and categories, with perhaps some recommendations on how they might cooperate . (One of the folks at the May mini-meeting mentioned the recent JISC report, http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/programmes/reppres/gg_final_keynote_11012008.pdf ; it has been posted to the Resource Sharing Summit wiki for all to review).
Thus the primary agenda item for the call on August 1 was to look at our work so far, and decide on what direction to take next. We discussed whether we should still survey, and if so, are there questions we should add, change, or remove? Has the time for such a survey passed, in your opinion, or would such information be useful in going forward? Susan, Maribeth and Donna agreed that rather than doing a survey, our time as well as the community’s time would be better spent conducting an inventory of discovery tools and cooperative resource sharing systems in New York, to include schools (the OPALS schools catalog was mentioned).
One possible way to present this information would be to create an online map showing sites, overlaps and boundaries, and putting this up on the wiki for the working group and community to comment and add to. Next steps would be to look for points of similarity, possible linkages, etc., that may suggest ways of bringing these groups/systems together. Donna Dixon will begin such a map using the Nylink membership map at http://www.nylink.org/membership/Memberloc.htm as a model and will circulate it to the working group during the week of August 18 for comment before posting it to the wiki. She will also update the working group charges to reflect this suggested change in direction and circulate to the group prior to our next scheduled conference call on August 21.
We reviewed the agenda for the Resource Sharing Summit. Anchor speakers Rush Miller and Katie Birch have been booked; a preliminary agenda and registration is up at http://www.nylink.org/sharing/nyrss/ We still need to finalize the breakout groups and roundtables; the suggestion was made to have a presentation or information from the Orbis/Cascade group at the summit. Mary-Carol Lindbloom, Executive Director of the South Central Regional Library Council, will be replacing Betty Maute in the group.
Next conference calls: August 21, 1-2:30 pm September 12, 1-2:30 pm October 3, 1-2:30 pm
