Hi all,
I pasted the minutes from today's meeting on the etherpad (they're at the end instead of being integrated with the agenda) and I'm sending them by e-mail too.  I apologize if I misidentified who was speaking at any time - please correct me if I did.  Also, I got lost on some of the technical stuff so I hope it all makes sense.
Talk to you again soon!Amanda

Introductions and visionMilo – QZAP in Milwaukee – sees theunion catalogue as way to bridge divide and share info among barefootlibrarians and institutional librariansLillian – IPRC in Portland – willbe critical search and research tool for people doing research onzines. Use professional cataloguers' entries in my own library.Elissah at Minneapolis technicalcollege – way to share records, share in burden to create recordsinstead of duplicating effortsRhonda – Cambridge MS, not withlibrary, cataloguing person – interested in geeky cataloguingaspect and vocabularyJenna – Barnard College in NYC –make things easier for zine library researchers, could be good modelfor other small, specialized subculture collections, hope that whatwe do could be used by them.Honor – Cataloguer at Harvard library– multiple levels of entry, reusing metadata across communities,hopefully reusable in a lot of different contextsEric – technology worker and metadatageek, not librarian – did work with ABC No Rio and QZAP,centralized data and decentralized authority, useful to differentcommunitiesAmanda – Anchor Archive zine library– interested in being able to share records, not duplicate efforts,also centralized place to search all zine library catalogues at once,easier for users to find zinesChristina – metadata specialist atColumbia, doesn't work with zines – has tried to create schema tobest represent metadata records, create stylesheets, convert betweencommon schema and encoding, set up discovery interface betweenrecords.
Jenna furthercontextualizes who is who...-We curated a smaller subset of zinelibrary and cataloguers community for this meeting.-Amanda is author of zine subjectthesaurus used by a few libraries and has Drupal skills.-Christina is metadata genius. Iscoder with knowledge of several tools.-Elissah also has expertise in data andworked with Amanda's subject thesaurus.-Eric is metadata geek and programmer,with Milo created Collective Access instance for QZAP, knows aboutDrupal.-Honor is my personal RDA cataloguingguru. Deep into the layers of cataloguing.-Jenna can help with writing grants andis the centre of everything.-Lillian has experience with training,coding.-Milo has some coding experience and isa designer.-Rhonda is cataloguing guru and makeszines.
Report from Christina on tools-Startedthis over the summer (lately less time to work on it).-Gotsamples of records from different zine libraries – from 9 libraries– mix of MARC records, spreadsheets,giving link to webpage, etc.-Figuredout what schema, vocabularies, formats being used. All pretty localexcept MARC is AACR2. -Mappedthem together – compared to zinecore schema (modified DublinCore).-Tooksome source data and transferred to zinecore XML.-Hadmeeting with Jenna and server guy at Columbia.-Ihave all the datasets in a Google Drive folder. Can share once wedecide where to put our documentation.-Exploredway to set up data as preliminary discovery layer to test how it willwork. Know Blacklight pretty well, works with Solr and whatever datastore we have in the background. Didn't get too far with that.-Christina'se-mail on the Etherpad notepad - cmh2166@columbia.edu. If you want to see the data e-mail her.
Zinecoreexplanation from Milo-Neededcommon standard for zine metadata. -Basedon dublincore so that fields could be repeated.-There'sa DC standard and DC extended.-Mappedout 10 or 11 fields initially knowing they might not be called thatpermanently, extend them if needed.-QZAPhad tried to implement them as best we can. Using Collective Access(open source catalogue tool for archives) – DC based but can writeown schema in XML. Use zinecore. Provides way to suck in data fromLibrary of Congress.
Questionsand discussion-Ericwould like to see code used to create XML.-Canwe use other APIs in Collective Access? Yes, once we have definedschema.-Ourrecords are CSVs before they get entered into MARC. Could convertinto XML.-CollectiveAccess will import MARC directly.-Christinafound a flat file/CSV file easier to use than other formats.-Christinawants to pin down what we're going to be transforming to. Originalrecords doesn't matter so much. And what will be offering to peoplewho use the site.-Makecore documentation for people to readand add to.-Ifpeople are comfortable using mediawiki, there's an instance onzinelibrary.info.-Jennaalready created space fordocumentation. Link is onethernet pad -http://zinelibraries.info/wiki/union-catalog-work-space/
-Elissahleaves meeting. Happy to join a grant-writing group. Added 2 grantsto agenda.

Ignitions Grants forLibraries.-After we write one, the rest shouldcome easy.-Could write Sparks grant for Code4Libhackathon. Propose project instead of long-term building of it.
Hackathon-Code4Lib Feb 9-11 in Portland.-Christina helping to organizepreconferences at Code4Lib. Do we want this to be a preconference? Could be issue with people paying to do preconference if we'realready getting funding. -Preconference deadline November 11.-Jenna would like our people to bethere – could use funding to get our people there.-Christina might not be able toparticipate in pre-conference because organizing.-Break-out sessions in afternoon, cancontinue work on project.-Code4Lib has diversity scholarshipfund.-Code4Lib sells out really quickly,might not all get in.-Crash it!-Could have something on Friday, the13th after conference.-Eric - Group of public access TVstations doing Drupal project, we do events right before or afterDrupalCon.

Hi all,

I pasted the minutes from today's meeting on the etherpad (they're at the
end instead of being integrated with the agenda) and I'm sending them by
e-mail too.  I apologize if I misidentified who was speaking at any time -
please correct me if I did.  Also, I got lost on some of the technical
stuff so I hope it all makes sense.

Talk to you again soon!

Zine Library Union Catalog Working Group Meeting – September 29, 2014

Present: Milo, Lillian, Elissah, Rhonda, Jenna, Honor, Eric, Amanda,
Christina
Facilitator: Jenna
Minutes: Amanda

Introductions and vision
Milo – QZAP in Milwaukee – sees the union catalogue as way to bridge
divide and share info among barefoot librarians and institutional librarians
Lillian – IPRC in Portland – will be critical search and research tool for
people doing research on zines. Use professional cataloguers' entries in my
own library.
Elissah at Minneapolis technical college – way to share records, share in
burden to create records instead of duplicating efforts
Rhonda – Cambridge MS, not with library, cataloguing person – interested
in geeky cataloguing aspect and vocabulary
Jenna – Barnard College in NYC – make things easier for zine library
researchers, could be good model for other small, specialized subculture
collections, hope that what we do could be used by them.
Honor – Cataloguer at Harvard library – multiple levels of entry, reusing
metadata across communities, hopefully reusable in a lot of different
contexts
Eric – technology worker and metadata geek, not librarian – did work with
ABC No Rio and QZAP, centralized data and decentralized authority, useful
to different communities
Amanda – Anchor Archive zine library – interested in being able to share
records, not duplicate efforts, also centralized place to search all zine
library catalogues at once, easier for users to find zines
Christina – metadata specialist at Columbia, doesn't work with zines – has
tried to create schema to best represent metadata records, create
stylesheets, convert between common schema and encoding, set up discovery
interface between records.

Jenna further contextualizes who is who...
-We curated a smaller subset of zine library and cataloguers community for
this meeting.
-Amanda is author of zine subject thesaurus used by a few libraries and
has Drupal skills.
-Christina is metadata genius. Is coder with knowledge of several tools.
-Elissah also has expertise in data and worked with Amanda's subject
thesaurus.
-Eric is metadata geek and programmer, with Milo created Collective Access
instance for QZAP, knows about Drupal.
-Honor is my personal RDA cataloguing guru. Deep into the layers of
cataloguing.
-Jenna can help with writing grants and is the centre of everything.
-Lillian has experience with training, coding.
-Milo has some coding experience and is a designer.
-Rhonda is cataloguing guru and makes zines.

Report from Christina on tools
-Started this over the summer (lately less time to work on it).
-Got samples of records from different zine libraries – from 9 libraries –
mix of MARC records, spreadsheets, giving link to webpage, etc.
-Figured out what schema, vocabularies, formats being used. All pretty
local except MARC is AACR2.
-Mapped them together – compared to zinecore schema (modified DublinCore).
-Took some source data and transferred to zinecore XML.
-Had meeting with Jenna and server guy at Columbia.
-I have all the datasets in a Google Drive folder. Can share once we
decide where to put our documentation.
-Explored way to set up data as preliminary discovery layer to test how
it will work. Know Blacklight pretty well, works with Solr and whatever
data store we have in the background. Didn't get too far with that.
-Christina's e-mail on the Etherpad notepad - cmh2166@columbia.edu. If
you want to see the data e-mail her.

Zinecore explanation from Milo
-Needed common standard for zine metadata.
-Based on dublincore so that fields could be repeated.
-There's a DC standard and DC extended.
-Mapped out 10 or 11 fields initially knowing they might not be called
that permanently, extend them if needed.
-QZAP had tried to implement them as best we can. Using Collective Access
(open source catalogue tool for archives) – DC based but can write own
schema in XML. Use zinecore. Provides way to suck in data from Library of
Congress.

Questions and discussion
-Eric would like to see code used to create XML.
-Can we use other APIs in Collective Access? Yes, once we have defined
schema.
-Our records are CSVs before they get entered into MARC. Could convert
into XML.
-Collective Access will import MARC directly.
-Christina found a flat file/CSV file easier to use than other formats.
-Christina wants to pin down what we're going to be transforming to.
Original records doesn't matter so much. And what will be offering to
people who use the site.
-Make core documentation for people to read and add to.
-If people are comfortable using mediawiki, there's an instance on
zinelibrary.info.
-Jenna already created space for documentation. Link is on ethernet pad -
http://zinelibraries.info/wiki/union-catalog-work-space/

-Elissah leaves meeting. Happy to join a grant-writing group. Added 2
grants to agenda.

Funding
-We're applying for funding to buy ourselves programming work, from
Christina or Eric or otherwise.
-Also server space.
-Upcoming grants include National Leadership Grants for Libraries (October
deadline), the Knight Foundation (looks the easiest), Sparks! Ignitions
Grants for Libraries.
-After we write one, the rest should come easy.
-Could write Sparks grant for Code4Lib hackathon. Propose project instead
of long-term building of it.

Hackathon
-Code4Lib Feb 9-11 in Portland.
-Christina helping to organize preconferences at Code4Lib. Do we want this
to be a preconference? Could be issue with people paying to do
preconference if we're already getting funding.
-Preconference deadline November 11.
-Jenna would like our people to be there – could use funding to get our
people there.
-Christina might not be able to participate in pre-conference because
organizing.
-Break-out sessions in afternoon, can continue work on project.
-Code4Lib has diversity scholarship fund.
-Code4Lib sells out really quickly, might not all get in.
-Crash it!
-Could have something on Friday, the 13th after conference.
-Eric - Group of public access TV stations doing Drupal project, we do
events right before or after DrupalCon. Get people who are interested in it
but event is not part of DrupalCon.
-Important that zine librarian interest group maintains control over
project.
-Lillian has access to venues we could use if we do something in Portland
around Code4Lib.
-How many people can go with funding? Lillian, Christina.
-4 people would consider going and paying their own way.
-More would go if they were funded.
-Jenna will try to get funding for people to attend.

Working guidelines and next steps
-Grant-applying committee formed - Lillian, Jenna, and Elissah
-They will meet, report back to group before submitting anything.

-Code4Lib mini-group formed to discuss Code4Lib Hackathon – Christina
and Lillian
-Declare what we're doing in Portland and get the word out.
-Code4Lib people starting to book their travel.

Next meeting?
-Grant deadline October 14. Meet before then.
-Jenna will send out Doodle to schedule meeting. Milo wants an evening
meeting.
-May try Google Hangout so we can have video and see who is who.
