| ALL-1 | Reported problems tracking | Barton Group, Nina, Ex Libris | Tracking outstanding implementation issues with Ex Libris as we move to standard support. Combine the implementation issues with other problems. |
Nina has a list ready to present to Ex Libris (11/7/02), which we planned
to review at the 3/27/03 meeting. As of 3/3/4, we still need to review this
with Nina. Review what's still outstanding after we are live with Version
16 [040929] Review the list with Nina at September 2005 meeting. [050824] Pending Version 16 |
Combine the implementation issues with other problems. | Critical |
| CAT-6 | Authorities UPD field and quarterly updates loading | Beth, Catalogers | Decide
how to protect ourselves Makes additions/adjustments to data Load several waiting LTI quarterly updates |
Authorities changes planned for Version 16 were bumped to Version 18. Cataloging
staff are coming up with an interim plan. |
wait for Version 18 | High |
| CAT-12 | Archives RLIN records | Beth, Stephen Skuce, Tom Rosko, Liz Andrews | Create a loader to bring records Archives has created in RLIN into Aleph someday. RLIN subject headings could present problems, and will likely affect indexing decisions. |
Carol Fleishauer formed a working group and gave them a charge. Their first
meeting will be in early March 2004. The group will present a report to
Carol in October 2004. There are still decisions to be made. There are 686
RLIN records (very big records) involved in this project.

Beth will see what kind of priority should be given to this project now. |

| OPAC-5 | Enable Barton as a source in SFX | SFX Verde Group, including Rich, Beth, and Tracy | Testing on walter [050824] Fall/Winter 2005 | High | ||
| SYS-5 | Configure system monitoring software. | Rich, Christine | We need a program to monitor that the server is up and running, making sure certain processes that are supposed to be running are running, and watching certain logs for error messages. We're currently running Big Brother, but not using it for the Aleph servers; we aren't running anything except with IS&T does for us. At the ICAU 2002 meeting a German customer showed a home-grown system they designed and are willing to share. | IS&T is looking at an open source product called Nagios for this purpose, but we haven't heard anything about it since about Summer 2004. There will be a demo of the Aleph Monitor (a separate add-on product) in September 2005. | High/Medium | |
| CAT-7 | Validation tables refinement | Selina? | Initial critical setup has been completed. Refine local cataloging rules within ALEPH. | Someday… | Medium | |
| CAT-11 | LTI in-house edits | Beth, Rich | Send bib records to LTI that a cataloger has touched in the last 6 months (or whatever time period we decide) so LTI can perform authorities work on them. | Needs export character conversion. Was pending Version 16; now that we're there, Beth will find out what kind of priority this should now have. | Medium | |
| OPAC-3 | Dynamic list of newly cataloged titles, in the Web OPAC | Christine, Darcy, Austin | Make it so newly cataloged titles can be easily identified in the Web OPAC. | Implemented a new logical base in August 2004, but improvements are still needed. Darcy will work with a group of people who will find out across the system what exactly is needed/wanted from a "new books list." | Medium | |
| CAT-15 | New workflow for monograph acquisitions and cataloging | MWII (the Monograph Workflow II team, which includes Charlene and Beth from Barton Group), Systems | We'll be testing many different processes, and several will involve Barton. |
Topic has not been revisited since at least March 2004. We may review this
again at a later date. |
