<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Good morning. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>From the CMS 2008/2009 Goals:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Goal 1, Action 10:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>10. Assess the cost variations between working in Voyager
and working in OCLC, for Latin script materials, both copy and original
cataloging. [May-Jun. 2008, Joan Swanekamp will appoint Task Force]<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As I recall, Meg had asked Joan to ask us to include this
goal, because inputting directly into OCLC might be the best workflow and
management strategy sometime in the future, if we should ever choose to
participate in OCLC WorldCat Local, or other similar Next Generation OPAC OCLC
projects. JOAN, and others: Please let me know if I am in error here. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Last week Joan asked me to write a draft charge for this
task force, and consider what tasks we needed to do to accomplish the action
above. Attached is a rough draft. I have three requests:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1. What have I left out? What should I change? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2. Do any Roman script catalogers in this group have
previous experience cataloging directly in OCLC, besides myself? Please let me
know. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>3. Would anyone like to volunteer for this short term task
force? Any Roman script NACO catalogers are welcome. If there are any non-Roman
script catalogers who would like to volunteer, I would say "yes",
although we will not be testing parallel script inputting as part of this task
force's work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am writing NACO catalog librarians, as we already have
experience inputting directly into OCLC, as well as in-depth cataloging
experience, thus saving us some valuable training time. We should probably
review the OCLC policies for bibliographic record creation and editing, and we
need folks who can learn these policies quickly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am also attaching a time-study draft I was originally thinking
of using for assessing the costs of adding non-Roman script fields. I think I
got an earlier version from Matthew who was going to do a similar survey for
electronic cataloging. Then CMS had two months of survey overload, and the idea
of having yet another survey was highly unpopular. We need to edit this survey
for the current task force, but I'm including the older version here, along
with the draft charge. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Many thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
