Nylink Resource Sharing Discovery Working Group
Minutes from Conference Call September 12, 2008
Present: Donna Dixon and Jon Penn, Nylink; Maribeth Krupczak, New York State Library Division of Library Development; Bart Harloe, St. Lawrence University; Susan Currie, Binghamton University; Cyril Oberlander, SUNY Geneseo; Deb Bendig, Onondaga County Public Library.
Donna will email members of both groups with instructions how to register and get the discounted rate for working group members. Jon recapped the Resource Sharing Summit meeting thus far.
There will be two discussion groups on the second day, one for Discovery and one for Delivery. Need leaders and suggestions for questions for the discussion for our group. Cyril asked what the measurable goals were for the summit. To continue the statewide conversation about resource sharing is the overall goal; the suggestion was made that the registration form ask attendees what their objectives were in attending. It was suggested that Jon correspond with Katie Birch, the OCLC speaker, to ask her not to be product-focused, but rather, to talk about plans to give us better access to WorldCat.org (Donna asked whether anyone was using the WorldCat API, not yet as far as we know. Bart and Susan will ask their systems librarians to talk a look. The systems librarian at Binghamton is a Code4Lib member).
We discussed the discovery tool matrix, and it was suggested that we add a field as to where libraries are at in their implementations, and what their goals are. This may need to be a future project to be completed via a survey or phone calls.
Cyril kicked off a discussion on the future of request management. We have lost discovery; people have found stuff both within and outside of our domains. Google Books now containes 1.4 million full-text books, more robust than thought, and not just the pre-1923 world. Think about enhancing the local collection with an API to this—serve them up through the catalog, reference or instruction. St. Lawrence is loading Google Books that they hold into the ConnectNY Union Catalog. Then the question becomes, how do you expose the “whole collection?”
What constitutes the collection is a big part of what St. Lawrence and others are trying to get a hold of. Digital content, special collections on other platforms, how do they come into resource sharing? The DLF Aquifer project (http://www.diglib.org/aquifer/ ) is stalled as far as Cyril knows.
We discussed the presentation that Cyril gave at the IDS conference, “Resource Sharing: Where are Requests Taking Us?” http://www.idsproject.org/conferences2008.aspx Resource sharing is not just what happens in the ILL office, but in instruction too—making students aware of what’s out there. It can be considered a customized way to provide customer relationship management and marketing—no longer one size fits all. Part of service evaluation involves the connection between resource sharing and the rest of the library.
Discussion of a session at the Resource Sharing summit to be an Open Mic—for participants to demo fast moving targets and free tools they’re using in their libraries right now, with Cyril to kick it off. Objective is to recreate our conversations and bring them into the discussion/roundtable on day 2.
Donna will send out a survey to the participants asking them to volunteer to step up to the mike and share their ideas.
