1) Minutes of August 18, 2011 meeting approved.

2) Symphony 3.3.1 Patch cluster 2 and Symphony 3.4

Patch Cluster 2 installed last week with some problems, now presumed fixed. 3.4 should load into the text system sometime in September. Reviewed release notes. Persistent login is new, but actually loaded with Patch Cluster 2.

3) Persistent logins

Catalog user guide was updated. User will be disconnected when they log off their PC session. Since the EXIT button closes a session, it will be changed to “End Session”. Bob will work on the idea of a banner to appear on pages when logged in, to remind user to end their session when done.

4) Testing checklist

Some sections need a little more work, but most are done, and will be used in Oct/Nov to test 3.4 upgrade. Will parcel out the 7 pieces of the checklist so you do not use the one you wrote for testing.

5) Continuing review of Rev.D

• Updated the language list in the test catalog and in production.
• The online resources other publication category in the This Just In list has been split into 5 letter sections.
• Cell padding was added to My Account in the test catalog; Bob will put it into production.
• A horizontal line has been added between the bib record and the item lines on Reserves screens.
• Bob created tag lists for each format default display, and a report on the number of times each tag appears in a record. Next time we will review the Visual media default display.

6) Feedback and fixes

None to report.

7) Information sharing

The Mobile Catalog team needs to have a site ready for the RU page by the end of September. It can be refined later. The LCC is expected to be involved in the review.

8) Next Meeting

Oct. 20, 2:15 in University Librarian's Conference Room
