Notes
Housekeeping: No meetings on 6/22 & 26 (ALA) but will meet while Andrea is on vacation (enjoy!) with Cate as our convener.
Location discussion with Harry, Vince and Cate
- Number of levels:
- 5, not all need to be configured
- VZG libraries currently use 5
- Is having 5 levels a workaround from past systems or needed?
- Would it be better to have 5 right now instead of trying to add one later
- trying to prepare ourselves for the future and flexibilities
- locations have to be associated with a circ desk so you know when an item is “home”
- Need to keep home location when adding a temp location
- Level Descriptions:
- each institution will want to define and name their own levels
- so name conventions could be Level A,B,C or Level 1,2,3
- Consortia needs:
- Has not yet been discussed in Consortia SIG
- many libraries are in more than one consortia
- how can this be handled
- Is there a level above consortia?
- Sits apart from institution
- Collections:
- Is collections more of a concept?
- Location as a purpose?
- Workflow as context
- What would happen if “collection” were not part of location hierarch?
- What would that do to loan rules?
- Adding another factor in loan rules (5 instead of 4) would make it more difficult
Seems reasonable to have a level between library and shelving but what would that be?
Will pick up discussion on Monday’s meeting
