II. Implementer’s Updates
a. Polaris – Rob Gray
i. Most work is being completed in Maryland with Relais. Live Training this week and still awaiting a status update; believe that items are in circulation between systems successfully.
ii. Significant work with Triple I in Denver. Not live yet; still working out issues with items requested and the held-at branches.
iii. Word that URSA is beginning to surface in New Orleans.
iv. OCLC (beta) implementation in Texas – on hold due to library training/other factors; authentication and circulation (ILL) messages anticipated
b. TLC – Juli Marsh
i. Went live in Maryland with Relais on Monday (1/14); no reported issues and everything looks fine
c. BorrowDirect – Peter Collins
i. Univ. of Penn utilizes EZBorrow Relais product; implementation with Voyager libraries for PA State Libraries; working on change from ECIP to NCIP. One library in the group experiencing issues with AcceptItem; five libraries are complete with seven more to go.
d. Ex Libris – Mike Dicus
i. Continuing work with customer in Idaho – Voyager with OCLC WorldCat Navigator; software was received/tested between OCLC and Ex Libris; awaiting word of any further testing/implementation
ii. Alma product – work with OCLC and Relais to continue implementation efforts
e. Relais – Kevin Stewart
i. More Voyager libraries in PA (Keystone) have gone live
ii. Confirmed Polaris’ question about Maryland libraries’ status – Relais has not heard of any big problems aside from small issue with receiving requests from OCLC
III. Update on Implementer’s Profiles
a. Mike received an archive file of previously submitted vendor profiles from Rob Walsh from ncip.info site
b. Available profiles and the profile template were sent out to everyone with active contact information earlier this week
c. Update your company’s profile as soon as possible and return to Mike; preferred to be received by end of January/beginning of February
d. Profiles associated with non-active contacts are being held until Mike can confirm proper contact recipient
e. New members have yet to have new templates sent to them
f. Question from xC about if they should complete a profile; if so, how best to complete profile based on their implementation/use cases – Mike and Randy to discuss offline
i. Support shared for having open source profile information available and representation of that community perspective (see Evergreen contact below)
g. These implementer profile updates are a short term solution – long term solution discussion still underway for full replacement of previous implementer’s registry site
IV. Action Items from October In Person Meeting
a. Standard Documents updates – Mike continuing to work with Nettie to incorporate changes from October meeting
b. Mock-up of a smaller schema – Tony O’Brien (OCLC) and Robert Gray (Polaris)
i. Gray – from technology POV discussed that creating a whole separate schema and associated NCIP responder may not go very far with group. Full group adoption would be required for the standard in order to avoid creating a private standard
ii. More presentation/group discussion advocated for next meeting and future meetings
V. Other Items for Discussion
a. Due to no representative from Evergreen (open source), Lori offered to reach out to request representation on NCIP SC
b. Question from Galecia Group on the topic of RFID technology and NCIP and how to incorporate for future discussions by the SC.
i. Two areas of immediate focus:
1. Communications in parallel processing (more than one item being read at a time to support RFID processing)
2. How to take advantage of new data elements from the Data Profile Standard
ii. Suggestion that this be a topic for the next In Person meeting in April – could produce lengthy discussions
VI. Next Meetings
a. Monthly Conference Call – February 21, 2013 at 1:00 PM ET.
b. In Person Meeting – anticipated for April 23-24, 2013 hosted by OCLC in Dublin, OH
i. Some scheduling conflicts shared; Mike to work with OCLC on any flexibility in dates and would like have this meeting confirmed soon
ii. By next conference call, SC needs to confirm reasons to meet in person; initial support provided by TLC and Galecia
iii. Potential agenda items include:
1. Continued discussion of implementer’s profiles and registry
2. Mock-up smaller schema
3. New RFID and NCIP topic
4. Updates on SIP WG (“SIP3”) and NCIP if available
