[IMUG-L] Reminder: Topics for IMUG forum

[Scharff, Mark]

Agree with Jean.  Further topics:

1)     What sort(s) of public interfaces will be supported.  Will BIBFRAME be the death of the "Classic Catalog"-style OPAC?  What is the future of generating and browsing alphabetical lists?

2)     More selfishly to WU, what is the future of ancillary products such as reference databases?  We're running our sheet-music catalog in Millennium because III didn't bother to create a Sierra version of the reference database.  While in some ways I'm happy with that because Millennium supports alpha browsing better than Sierra, it's frustrating because processes that are shared with Sierra are sometimes "broken" in our Millennium application when the Sierra side changes.

I'd be very interested in hearing what III is doing behind the scenes to accommodate BIBFRAME (input by libraries, not conversion from MARC by III). The answer most definitely does not need to show us something we can do now, but it would be reassuring to see something that is being worked on (and telling us "we're working on it, trust us" does not fit the bill).

Good morning, all -



Our new contact at III is still trying to line someone up to speak with us via Skype at MLA next week. Unfortunately, III scheduled two large symposium meetings at the same time, so they are short on available staff.



Our contact is asking for any questions you might have who is available. Please send me any questions you think of ahead of time and I"ll forward them on to our contact.



See you all in Orlando!!



Heather
