1. ITD Update
- a. Aleph "printing dispatch" testing update - Hongyan has not had time to work on this as yet.
- b. ILLiad 7.3 update - The ILLiad sub-group is working on a proposal to have OCLC host ILLiad on it's server. ITD is waiting for the CLD's decision on the matter at it's January 2009 meeting.
- c. Aleph reports of manual registrations/renewals - Should be available with the January 3, 2009 monthly reports in Task Manager.
- d. COI email serv list update - ITD is getting a huge amount of SPAM. They are currently working on taking down the reflectors and moving them to a server supported by UMCP's OIT group. This move will allow us to check email history.
2. ILL Subgroup Update
- a. SG recommendations - Working on procedures for putting phase 1 of the recommendations in place. Two suggested dates for starting the new services to SG are mid-Jan or the start of the spring semester.
- b. Status of CLD requested information re: OCLC hosted ILLiad - Gathering information from the independent ILLiad sites (waiting for last two to respond). Robin has contacted OCLC for a cost-estimate.
- c. ILL Subgroup clarification re: e-reserves - Should e-reserves at SG be a concern of the sub-group? It is not a part of the sub-group's charge. Nancy noted that appears that the CLD intended for the SG work to be all-encompassing. It seems appropriate to include e-reserves in the sub-group in this case.
3. Circ Subgroup Update
- a. Should a report that would reflect PPH turn-around time at each campus be requested from ITD? We will ask the large group at the All Circ meeting in January. Everly sent a reminder email to everyone to respond to PPH requests promptly and to let the group know if you anticipate delays.
- b. Circ annual meeting invitation & catering - Everly will send meeting request to Nancy & Mark to send out. Paula is handling the catering.
- c. Active Cash Reports - Lea is working on a report of our findings to submit to Celia by 12/18/08.
- d. Should RSTG inquire about phase 1 purge? - Hongyan feels that the purge will be done this month.
- e. Dedup match point recommendations - Lea contacted Celia & Carlen
- f. Global due dates - Paula inquired. Hongyan indicates that this is on Hans' work list and will be done.
4. Chair's Update
- a. Public and private portions of the wiki - Group agreed with that having both is fine.
- b. UITG would like to add public contact information for circ departments in the OPAC - Nancy will send an email requesting that circ departments provide this information.
Next Meeting: January 12, 2009 meeting will be held at Bowie State University. Sasan will arrange the room and parking permits.
