SirsiDynix virtual site visit with Oshkosh Technical Services staff Thursday, Jan. 30 at 1pm
by Amy Gannaway 27 Jan '25

27 Jan '25

Hello! We will hold a virtual site visit covering SirsiDynix Technical Services on Thursday, January 30 at 1pm. The site visit is expected to last approximately an hour. This will be an informal meeting with staff from Oshkosh Public Library. The meeting with focus more on Acquisitions, although we can touch on Cataloging as well. Oshkosh does not use the Serials module so we will not review Serials. Oshkosh is using SirsiDynix Workflows, which is the staff client for SirsiDynix. For Technical Services Acquisitions, we are looking at SymphonyWeb, which has the same interface as Workflows, except that it is used in a browser, so even though Oshkosh is not using the exact same thing that we are looking at, they are using something that looks the same and essentially works the same. For Cataloging, we are looking at a combination of BlueCloud and SymphonyWeb (meaning that library staff would likely use BlueCloud and the Madison Catalogers would use SymphonyWeb). I have created a registration form so I will have some idea of how many people to expect. Please respond to this survey by Tuesday, January 28, whether or not you are planning to attend. Here is the link to the registration form<https://forms.gle/8a5mcCDp1AucvJSc9>. The form also has a place to enter questions for Oshkosh staff.

Cataloging Workgroup Report feedback
by Kayla Linke 22 Jan '25

22 Jan '25

Hello everyone, At our meeting yesterday, we reviewed the Cataloging Workgroup Report<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tAuAXknXkSFAFH6nFAIDRSFH_kL6qkwH/edit>. A couple additional changes have been made after looking into a couple of the pros and cons that weren't clear. In regards to the Cataloging module, we agreed that there was a slight preference for Polaris over SirsiDynix but that either of the two products would work. We did not recommend Bibliovation. Please let me know if you have any additional changes or feedback on the report before next Wednesday, January 29. It will then be sent off to the Lead Workgroup. Thanks, Kayla Kayla Linke Metadata Specialist South Central Library System 1650 Pankratz Street Madison, WI 53704 klinke(a)scls.info 608-242-4716

Hello everyone! At our next ILS Evaluation Cataloging Workgroup Meeting, we will be working on putting together a recommendation report for the Lead Workgroup. A draft of the Cataloging Workgroup Report has been created based on information from the meetings, checklists, and vendor follow-up. In preparation for our next meeting, two things should be done- * Fill out availability poll<https://rallly.co/invite/Fviy85Q6GBjo> by Wednesday, January 8. * Review (and add to!) Cataloging Workgroup Report Draft<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tAuAXknXkSFAFH6nFAIDRSFH_kL6qkwH/edit?u…> before meeting. * Each system has a list of its pros and cons that has already been started. Please look these over and add your own pros and cons. At the meeting, this will be reviewed so that we can make a recommendation to the Lead Workgroup. Thanks, Kayla Kayla Linke Metadata Specialist South Central Library System 1650 Pankratz Street Madison, WI 53704 klinke(a)scls.info 608-242-4716
