The meeting began at 2:00 PM Eastern/1:00 PM Central.
From last week's call:
- Start with an SC&A needs survey, not a software survey; start defining core functional requirements.
- Look beyond existing software packages, but let the designers of ArchivesSpace, AtoM, ArcLight etc. know what we are doing.
- Follow and build on the RFP for the Hungarian National Library; contact other national libraries (e.g. the NLE).
- Invite other people to join the SC&A WG (e.g. Christine Wise at SOAS).
- Have an SC&A track at the WOLF-Con meeting at Duke University in May (May 7-10).
Agenda:
1. News and updates (if any). Sebastian provided additional information about the Hungarian NL RFP for a comprehensive national library solution. Index Data, Hermesz-Soft (Hungary), Arkivum (UK), EBSCO (USA), and @Cult (Italy) have submitted a joint proposal to the RFP. Sebastian expects a decision later this month.
2. Starting an SC&A core functionalities list.
3. Are we still OK as a WG? Or is it SIG time yet? Consensus: we're still OK as a WG. As we potentially add more people from more institutions, it may make sense to transition to becoming a SIG. In this respect, the WG's reporting deadline of May 1 meshes well with the dates for the WOLF-Con meeting in Durham, NC.
4. Action items and assignments
5. Call schedule going forward. Weekly is fine. Aaron will try to keep the calls brief.
