TS-SIS Hot Topic Program: New Faces of Resource-Sharing - SkyRiver and USS, Just to Name Two!
93 Attendees
Location CCC-Room 109
Type  Programs, SIS Programs
  The creative team from Innovative Interfaces has introduced a new bibliographic utility, www.theskyriver.com, to compete with OCLC and, once again, offer libraries a choice for cooperative cataloging. The New England Law Library Consortium (NELLCO) has developed the Universal Search Solution (USS) - a master index of material, including participating library OPACs, web-based free and subscription-based material, local electronic content and other e-content that its participating libraries wish to make discoverable to researchers. The USS can also be used as an acquisition and copy cataloging tool. It's not your mama's bibliographic landscape anymore!

TS-SIS Program: What's in a Name: CORE and I-2, New Standards to Improve Efficiency in the Electronic Resources Environment
46 Attendees
Location CCC-Room 109
Type  Programs, SIS Programs
  The current marketplace has numerous products from many vendors to address different aspects of electronic resources. Interoperability between them is essential to gain maximum benefits. CORE (Cost of Resource Exchange) describes a message structure which facilitates the transfer of cost data from Integrated Library Systems to Electronic Resource Management Systems. Identifying institutions with multiple departments, campuses and their hierarchical relationship can be very difficult. I-2 (Institutional Identifier) a proposed NISO standard, under development, is a unique identifier assigned to an institution. I-2 aims to be global, interoperable and unique and will show the hierarchical relationship of an institution with all its subsidiaries. Working group members of these two standards will discuss the need for these standards, their goals, objectives, data elements used and implementation issues.
