• Discuss possible agenda items we’d like the committee to include this year

  • Look at Periodical records in Alma/Primo to see if there is anything we can do about the mismatched and duplicative records that appear when one searches for a Periodical by title in OneSearch. We all know serials can be the hardest resources to catalog, I wonder if we can put our heads together to come up with some discovery improvements for these resources (Jill Strykowski, seconded by Cesar and Irene)

  • Recommend that we adopt the practice of putting what used to go in a 655 for electronic books into a local bib data field (Nerissa Lindsey, seconded by Jill)
