Announcements
Lynn W. can't convene next week's (4/19) meeting - any volunteers?
How much need is there for local customization for material types?
If you have a list of material types, please add to the spreadsheet
Charlotte - How should lists of material types look in the setting page? Filip would like feedback from this group.
Objections to current proposal to have resource type and format type built off of RDA current vocabulary? Dracine stated that it is important that we can use local vocabularies, but base them in the standards. Felix said their legacy data does not necessarily contain the RDA content type.
Filip discussed license terms with another group. There is value in using standard language. To resolve this - to keep the standard - but allow for local customs a field could be provided to describe what should be in a particular field. Christie Thomas stated that Chicago differentiates between the loan rule and the material type. These should be distinguished. Other vocabularies may need to be used in the future. Should a column for "source" be added? (Laura Wright suggetion.) Everyone agreed that was a good idea, both for material types and formats.
