Law Libraries SIG Meeting
Saturday, April 22, 2006
3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Conveners: Sonia Luna-Lamas (St. Thomas University Law Library), R
uth
Patterson Funabiki (University of Idaho Law Library)
Fifteen representatives of eleven different libraries attended the LAW
SIG meeting on April 22. Sonia Luna Lamas presided, and Ruth Funabik
i
took notes.
After introductions of all members, there was a vote to approve minutes
from the April 2005 meeting.
Members shared news and advice concerning UNICODE and Version 5 upgrades.
Members briefly reviewed Endeavor’s “information handout.”
Discussion and prioritization of the LAW SIG’s “three questions”
followed. The group agreed to create and rank four questions, hoping
that there would be early news about our highest priority question.
Since there have not been any substantial developments, the LAW SIG
questions are as follows:
1. When will we be able to share prediction patterns for serials?
2. When will Endeavor apply the design philosophy (robust solution to a
long-standing problem) utilized for complex pattern prediction to the
bindery, holdings display/collapse and authority functions?
3. When will 853 / 863 pairs display correctly in WebVoyage?
LAW SIG members discussed plans for a Saturday afternoon meeting during
AALL in St. Louis. In addition to inviting a Voyager representative
to
participate, members requested a lengthy, detailed presentation by
Melody Lembke on creating and maintaining prediction patterns. Members
also announced a LAW SIG dinner outing to following the AALL “alphabet
soup” reception.
Sonia Luna-Lamas was thanked for her two years of service, and Cindy Ma
y
was elected as the new co-convener.
