1. WorldCat recommendation: purchase only if we can continue to have the current opac available as an option. Discovery of books and articles through a single search is significant but there are too many known issues for us to feel comfortable providing this to our users without a back-up.
Concerns:
- Scoping to COCC (2 institutions at one location). Even if other scoping issues are resolved this is a unique situation.
- Loss of ability to customize the interface, to minimize information confusing to users; e.g., OCLC number is very prominent in the record,
much more so than call number. This will be a problem to any user who doesn't know what a call number looks like. - Lose redirect for confidentiality after period of inactivity
- Features such as booking module, reserves: integration with catalog has been beneficial.
- Will order information, hold information be available? This is a problem now with Summit.
- At Menucha, UW public services librarians voiced problems with inconsistent results

4. E-journals list will be added to the catalog homepage. (Susan)
5. Rod will see if the dash indicating ongoing subscription or access can be changed to " - present"
