[Evergreen-catalogers] Evergreen Conference 2013: Cataloging/Authorities roadmap informal session

[Kent, Alexander D]

Yes, definitely, we will talk about it then.  We also thought it would be a good idea to have another time to discuss it, perhaps more focused on building an Authorities road map.

Have you considered having this discussion during the Cataloging Working Group meeting at 12 p.m. on Wednesday? Seems like a good fit.

Hi all,

We (Carrie Currie and I) at PALS had the idea for anyone who is going to the  Evergreen Conference next week in Vancover, B.C. that maybe we should get together for an informal session to begin discussion about how we think cataloging, and more specifically, authorities works and could be changed/enhanced/improved on in the future.

We could also discuss the formation of a roadmp - i.e. what features we would want to see developed and when.   Right now things with Authority development seem very haphazard, and it would be great to get more organization over this area.

Another possible discussion item could be the creation of an Evergreen Authorities Task Force to oversee this work, keep track of bugs, submit them to the Evergreen community, etc.  It could be made up of mostly catalogers, and perhaps a few develops to translate catalog speak.

Our thought on potential meeting times could be Wednesday at 11 am (opposite the Web Team/Communications Committee meeting), or possibly during the time slot of 3 pm (and opposite Contributing Code to Evergreen).   We think the Discoveries in Digital Humanities: How Evergreen Contributes session was cancelled.

Please let us know your thoughts on this idea and if you would be willing to meet during the conference and at which times.

Carrie Currie and I will both be at the Evergreen conference, the entire week.
