Nylink Resource Sharing Discovery Working Group
Minutes from Conference Call August 21, 2008
Present: Donna Dixon, Nylink; Maribeth Krupczak, New York State Library Division of Library Development; Julie Cunningham, CUNY Graduate Center; Bart Harloe, St. Lawrence University.
Some housekeeping items: Claire Gabriel of Manhattanville College is leaving the working group, having accepted a new position. We will leave her spot open, and thank her for her work on the group.
For the upcoming Resource Sharing Summit in October, members of the Discovery and Delivery Working groups will be given a $50 discount on registration, bringing cost for their attendance down to $70. In addition, if one’s library is a Premium member of Nylink, that cost can be drawn from the $500 professional development credit or one of the two free seats at Nylink events that Premium members have may be used.
We discussed whether we should still survey, and if so, are there questions we should add, change, or remove? As brought up on the previous call, attendees today agreed that the time for such a survey has passed and that 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).
Donna created a rough online map as a model for presenting such an inventory, but it was agreed that in addition to a map that might show overlays, a matrix would be desirable (because there are multiple tools and systems being used by individual libraries or systems). She will endeavor to get a rough draft of the matrix out by August 27 so that we can review it and add to it prior to the September 12 call. We might also use the map/matrix to facilitate a discussion presented by the Discovery group at the Resource Sharing summit (and include it in packets). Using this, we can look not only for linkages, but for holes, and then explore short-term and long-term solutions for how we might be able to knit disparate systems and communities together, and come up with some pilot possibilities to proposed.
Donna will send out a link to Cyril Oberlander’s August 6 IDS conference presentation to the group (done), so we can discuss and be prepared with questions for Cyril for the September 12 conference call. Highlights of the presentation were the concept that “discovery isn’t the problem, service is,” and the need to create and nurture a culture of cooperation.
In that vein, we discussed the NYS Statement of Guiding Principles that Julie Cunningham had drafted, and how to use it. Maribeth suggested some additional language that would be inclusive of library systems and the State Library, and also some introductory language regarding Regents policy and support for resource sharing. That has been added to the version of the Principles on the wiki (at http://nyrss.wetpaint.com/page/New+York+State+Guiding+Principles+for+Resource+Sharing)
For the next Resource Sharing Summit, we still need to finalize the breakout groups and roundtables. Julie Cunningham is still available to serve on the planning team and Donna will ensure that the internal team at Nylink includes her on the next conference call.
Next conference calls:
September 12, 1-2:30 pm
October 3, 1-2:30 pm
