Access Services Committee Committee Meeting August 21, 2007 11:00 AM 702 Olin Agenda: Get It! Report on Authentication Documentation Committee Other Meeting Notes Taker Minutes: In attendance: Carmen Blankinship, Joanne Leary, Nancy Moore, Staci Rogers, Barbara Eden, Lenora Schneller, Jesse Koennecke, Zoe Stewart-Marshall Get It! Report on Authentication Jesse Koennecke demonstrated the new streamlined authentication The Get it! Team (formerly LMT Priority Objective Team 6), the Resource Discovery Systems working group (ReDS), and the Digital Library and Discovery Systems group (DLDS) have been working on to enable users to use their NetID and password to authenticate into the Voyager OPAC and Borrow Direct. Until now, users had to enter their Cornell ID number and last name to view their bookbag, preferences, saved searches, and patron info (including renewing books) or to place recalls, holds or Book Delivery requests. In an effort to reduce the number of different usernames and passwords needed to access library services, kerberos (via CUWebAuth or Sidecar) has been enabled as the primary logon method for the Catalog and Borrow Direct systems. The traditional Cornell ID number and last name method is still available as a fall back for anyone who needs or chooses to use it. Jesse requested that staff try out new enhancements on the test system at http://catalog-unicode.library.cornell.edu and welcomes feedback. The functionality we currently have will remain in place under the new system. Patrons with expired IDs will not be able to view the books they still have charged out. Roll out date is expected to be mid-September for the Catalog Requests, Patron Info and Borrow Direct. Everything else will come either during Fall Break or intersession. Documentation Committee Staci Rogers is the Access Services Committee liaison to the Documentation Committee. She reviewed some of the areas the committee is working on. Staci will work with Melody Padgett on updating the equipment pages on the Gateway. Citing Sources and Using Library Resources Off Campus have been updated.

Carmen noted that Kirsten Hensley has agreed to chair the Billing Manual Committee after Lindsay VanBerkom's departure.
