b. Cataloging 4K DVDs (LDI adding more than 50 titles)
i. Discussion: A. LeClair from LDI is here as a guest. This group considers cataloging new formats once we reach 50 unique titles. LDI is adding 90 unique 4K DVD titles, so we could begin cataloging them. They require a special player and the viewing is enhanced along with a more cinematic sound track. LDI originally purchased them for their theatre, but are not using them as much as they thought. Cataloging them would allow patrons to place holds and increase their use. A. LeClair thinks it will be a niche market for patrons, similar to cataloging vinyl records. If this is approved, catalogers would have to work out how they will be cataloged and then we would need to do Linking manual updates. MRO would be in favor of adding them to their collection. POR has four titles right now on a generic record and would like them cataloged as well. S. Hartman mentioned that Playstation 5 can play these. Xbox Series X can also play them. The group decided to move forward with cataloging 4K DVDs. The Madison Catalogers will discuss cataloging details and at the November meeting, we can do policy updates. The ILS Committee would then need to approve this at their December meeting.
c. Multi-part DVD TV series
i. Updates from Workgroup
1. Matching for existing records
a. Discussion: A. Gannaway sent out an email about what to do with matching for the Multi-part DVD TV Series change. Libraries can choose to repackage these items. The FAQ goes over how to do this. If you have any questions, please let us know and we can add them to the FAQ that is posted on the ILS Support Cataloging page. We have a google form you can use to report patron comments. All information related to this change in listed in the section on the Cataloging page.
2. Single library who owns title pilot
a. Discussion: There has been lots of discussion about a retroactive project. REE volunteered to do a pilot to test the workflow and staff time required. They will be working with MAD to repackage those titles where they are the only owning library. The workgroup will be talking more about the plan/process and if it would possible be to expand it. It will not be mandatory. There will be more information about this coming in the future.
