A number of collection moves will occur as a result of the move out of Main Library scheduled for summer 2006. Many of the OPAC displays associated with item record location codes will be changed so that users will know where to find the items, but the actual location codes will not change. Some implications for the labelling workflow recently were identified as a result of EHS being renamed as Sullivant Library (SUL). A question to be discussed is whether we should discontinue putting the location code (for locations other than Main) over the call number on the verso of the title page and on the spine label.
In the course of implementing the revised accompanying materials policy, an additional question came up (see Noelle's email included below that was sent to TSC previously). TSC needs to approve how to handle this situation.
TSC will review the volume identifier list http://library.osu.edu/sites/cataloging/voluid.htm as the next item of Technical Services documentation to consider for possible revision. What other policies or procedures are most in need of attention next?
Two members' terms are up 6/30/06 - John Bennett and Marty Jamison. They are welcome to continue for another term if they wish. If not, we need to identify possible new members.
Magda will report on issues from the meeting of BIBCO coordinators that she attended in Washington, D.C., at the end of April. LC announced a major change in handling of monographic series effective 6/1/06 that has implications for the bibliographic utilities and for all libraries that use their cataloging copy. Magda also is investigating what would be involved in participating in a new E-CIP (electronic cataloging in publication) program.
Last year, TSC discussed possible revisions to the TS Web site but decided to focus on revising content first. Rebekah left Drexel just as they were starting a wiki for their TS documentation. She will show screen shots of Drexel's wiki. Perhaps we can derive ideas for our site from Drexel. Rebekah is participating in an newly formed OSUL wiki interest group that is interested in experimenting with wikis.
