NOTES  

JSTOR Forum User Group Meeting   

...

  1. Image Cataloging and Access Working Group has been tracking a few system issues that we thought the user community should be aware of, namely: 

    1. Harvest issues - nightly harvests from Forum to Harvard discovery systems were regularly experiencing failures that required catalogers to frequently republish, at this time the issue should be self correcting in that if a harvest fails one night, it will get picked up in the next harvest automatically. It is still recommended that catalogers check images in HOLLIS Images (HI) as sometimes a “successful” harvest will skip a few images. This primarily seems to be a local problem to FAL. Images should appear in HOLLIS Images in the afternoon the next day after publishing.
    2. Group record functionality - at this time it is not possible to publish new group records or edit old group records. This issue is still under investigation by LTS.
    3. We track all issues and bugs and are preparing for an eventual reharvest which we hope will fix a number of incorrect/buggy issues in HI like duplicate titles, missing record IDs, etc.
  2. Other initiatives/projects: 
    1. We worked with Amy Deschenes to conduct Image Research interviews 
      1. Wanted to learn if HDC could replace HOLLIS Images -  Doesn’t replace it right now; missing some functionality 
      2. Key takeaway: Researchers start with Google Images –  we should rethink if we want our data to be exposed to Google Images  
    2. Vitaly Zakuta met with working group re: IIIF redesign 
      1. Learn more on the IIIF Redesign Project wiki page 
    3. We invited Jennifer Jubinville from LTS to discuss ongoing system issues and LTS support
