4. Discussion

a. Updates from previous meetings

i. DVD packaging workgroup: review changes to Videorecordings Searching and Matching Policy: Multi-part items, Television Series and mini-series

1. Discussion: A. Gannaway mentioned this at the previous meeting.  The IC will be creating a workgroup it will be made up of people from both Circulation and Technical services staff who will review the pros and cons of this proposal and make a recommendation to the IC.  Any changes made would not apply to previously cataloged/packaged materials.  Please let A. Gannaway know if you’d like to join by January 26.  MAD representatives Tom Campbell and Kathy Wolkoff would like to be on this group.  It will be made official at the next IC Meeting.    

b. Update on Spanish language subject headings

i. Discussion: T. Maes and K. Linke are planning to get the subject heading "Materiales en español" on all Spanish records as part of the bib base this year.

c. Bibliovation questions and/or discussion

i. Discussion: We had our upgrade in December and then a small one Monday night, which had a few circulation fixes.  LibLime is now working on another upgrade but we don’t have a timeline for that yet.  It will be a larger upgrade so it will take some time to complete testing.  M. Warren asked about the GetIt rollovers and if other libraries experienced problems.  Other libraries didn’t have the same problems as MAD because their volume is lower.  A. Gannaway will discuss this with LibLime about a fix or possibly doing MAD’s rollover during off hours this year.
