PC update | Note especially:
What do we really need from a MARC cataloging tool? Can we ask at Cult to hand over the code, and put a focused development team on this? The problem is there are limitations in available developers. Has there been any analysis on whether or not the work that at Cult has done can be used and developed upon? This will be part of the PC conversation - these assessments. Ann-Marie has been in conversation with Scan Bit and at Cult. They would like to get a "scratch environment" set up - an environment not connected to FOLIO, but something we can test. Laura wants to make sure each institution's product council rep knows what members of the MM SIG think. Felicia (via chat): "We're really concerned about MARCCAT @ Texas A&M because we're scheduled to go live next summer" Laura (via chat): "Felicia, TAMU is planning to keep holdings in MARC, is that correct?" Patricia (via chat): "University of Alabama is really concerned also for MARCCAT, we follow NISO MARC holding standards." Chicago is using cataloging In OCLC as their workflow and is not playing on incorporating MARCCat into their workflow. MARC Holdings may be started by Scanbit in R1,but probably it will not make that release. Jason (via chat): "To back up Christie from Chicago, not using MARCCat is also simply a different workflow for Cornell, too (not a workaround)… but a decision to move away from MFHD alongside using OCLC for cataloging anyway." Lisa F. (via chat): "While we're discussing MARC, can you put on the next agenda what is the status of the development of the function of moving MARC records from OCLC to FOLIO?" - Answer - this is slated to be part of R1 "Iris" - will have functionality in March. | ||
