Action Items

Jill

Documents from the Inclusive Description Task Force

• Draft of inclusive cataloging statement
  Approved

• Proposing corrections to headings for Indigenous Californians
  Approved

  • We are interested in getting this conversation started.

  • We feel that the CSU’s are uniquely positioned to look at addressing the topic.

  • It may also tie in with DEI work being done by ExLibris

• Request for normalization rule to change internment to incarceration
  Approved

• Recommendation to Adopt Alternate Vocabularies for LGBTQ+ Materials
  Not approved - requesting further details on proposed implementation strategy and clarity on whether they are suggesting current headings be replaced or supplemented - the workload is radically different for the different strategies

Possible issues for the committee to work on 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.
  Jill will follow-up next meeting with recommendations for master or weighted records

• Recommend that we discuss 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)
  To look into for follow-up: Do we know how heavily facets are used? - do we use genre at all?

• Use of new secondary resource type feature - is this useful? - Nerissa to present next meeting

• Are we commenting on Metadoor? - getting involved in open access MARC record repository? minting record numbers for collocation - getting involved in Data excellence initiatives?

• Pulling people together to recommend greater cohesiveness in metadata between groups (ULMS, DAMS, IR’s, etc.)
