Hi
We're migrating to Endeavour software next year and anticipate that our
acquisitions-cataloguing workflow will alter as a result. We are
interested in knowing how other libraries (especially NZ tertiary
institutions) using the software organise their workflows. (With the
number of libraries that have migrated in the last few years, perhaps
someone already has a file on this that they'd be willing and able to
share?)
Feel free to forward my email on if you know of someone else who may be
able to help.
Regards

Subject: Virtual cataloging volunteers needed
The Second Life Libraries Cataloging Group is seeking volunteers to create
and manage a virtual cataloging system.
Second Life is a 3D virtual world with over 1 million members. The Second
Life Library 2.0, Caledon Branch Library, Teen Library, Consumer Health
Library, and Medical Library provide library services to these members.
The purpose of the Cataloging Group is to set up a cataloging system that
can by used by library patrons inside Second Life to locate library
resources, and to catalog Second Life library resources onto this system.
We are looking for volunteers interested in cataloging and/or systems
librarianship. You can work from anywhere and contribute as many or as few
hours as you like. If you would like to be a part of this exciting
project, visit http://infoisland.org/drupal/kickbuttcatalogers to sign up.
We are also looking for volunteer(s) to manage the Second Life del.icio.us
account at http://del.icio.us/secondlifelibrary . Please contact
jwatso21(a)utmem.edu to volunteer.
Looking forward to seeing you in Second Life!

Hi
We are looking at migrating our database from a DRA system to Voyager
next year. We are looking at options for producing a file of authority
records that match our bibliographic records, including the possibility
of sourcing these from Te Puna or another agency. I'm told the Te Puna
option is quite expensive, so we would be interested to hear of any
library's experiences of other options, including costs, logistics and
data quality.
