LCSH Illegal aliens update

  • Waiting for COLD approval before proceeding with the proposed approach for addressing this problematic LCSH term.

NZ Cleanup update

  • October cleanup-- 85,394 e-resources records deleted, 35,241 physical resources deleted. NZ Management Group will meet soon to discuss whether we should perform the e-resources records cleanup more frequently. We’ll also explore other potential NZ management projects.

ULMS Survey - Resource Management

  • Israel shared the general input he received for filling out the Resource Management ULMS satisfaction survey. Among the general issues facing Resource Management:

    • Collection discovery is not localized in our consortium environment

    • Deduping vector in Primo could be refined for better and more precise deduping.

    • Alma terminology could be more clear, e.g. “copy to catalog” can mean either “copy to IZ” or “unlink from NZ”, depending on the context.

    • More precise conditions for advanced searching desired (for all indexes), e.g. does not contain, not equal to, etc

Upcoming BIBFRAME session

  • Jodi Williamschen from the Library of Congress will present an introduction and overview to BIBFRAME on Thursday, 11/14/19, 11-12pm. More details at this Thursday’s TS Open Forum. Many thanks to Luiz Mendes for coordinating this.

Authorities--Preferred term correction jobs and reports & Alma Authority Control Task List

  • The PTC job is running on several CSU campuses' Alma instances, as well as the NZ Alma instance.

  • Members were encouraged to become familiar with the PTC job and the Alma Authority Control Task List in preparation to discuss how we might use these for authority work.

  • Luiz is making arrangements to have Stephen Hearn from the University of Minnesota speak to us about Authority work in Alma. Details forthcoming as soon as they are available.
