Martin, Joel, Carolyn, Susan L, Mike, Trish

Action Items

• Looking at raw output from BioStor, don’t see Issue. Carolyn will share with Bianca to ask Rod if that is something he can provide.
• Scientific Name issues in Gemini, 4 or 5 of them, Joel will take care of sending the canned response to these users.
• Mike will send a couple examples of articles with DOIs that Martin can share with Rod.
• Susan will send around the information on JSTOR’s ISSNs for legacy materials.
• Mike will send around a list of which serials in BHL which do not have ISSNs

Recap

• Scientific Names recap - Decision NOT to update scientific names in BHL. Canned response added to Gemini. No questions.

• 2 week delay on DOI assignments - In-copyright content was being ingested into BHL. It is a lot more work to take down materials when DOIs are involved. Any new material added to BHL will not be selected for DOI assignment for fourteen days. After that time, the DOI assignment process will proceed as usual. No questions.

• CiteBank domain moving to SI - The CiteBank.org domain is up for renewal on Feb 8. Since www.citebank.org is only used to redirect to BHL now, is it time to drop the domain? Or, does BHL want to take over paying the domain fee to Network Solutions for citebank.org?

Status: Joel has requested to start the process of moving that over. Clarification - just domain registration and continuing to point back to BHL
We did not ingest any content; did pointers to external content. PDFs from Citebank are now hosted on BHL

• RIS files for Rod Page - Mike produced RIS files for Rod Page to test article level metadata in BioStor Purpose: "establish a workflow for sending you article citation data that can be easily plugged into Biostor (if that’s possible) to render articles in BHL.” My understanding is that Bianca will share these with Rod Page and he’ll test them in BioStor. Questions or additions:

Discovery Tools Working Group - haven’t done an extensive search. Articilization by Rod Page, includes volume but no issue. Does Rod provide Issues in some cases?
Susan will look further and bring it up again next week.

Updates / Questions

• BHL Move Update + DNS Planning

DNS- in order to switch BHL, make a change at DNS level. MBG still hosting DNS. Reduced time to live, how often the rest o internet has to check for changes. Set to 2 hours. So when we switch address on 8th, it should take no more than 2 hours for everyone to switch over. Switches traffic from Missouri to us; Joel talking to legal department about terms and conditions. TRB group had questions about service level agreements; Joel contacting OCON; Conditional for admin users; Test Plan looks good, performance is good. We’ll see if they really get to this by 8th.

• Discovery Tools Working Group & ISSNs

Talking about when we supply article level data to OCLC, Proquest, others; Do we truly need an ISSN? OCLC said hard requirements
Matt Pearson did some checking and found out that the ISSN folks (in France), they assign them retrospectively, to legacy publications. This is something that JSTOR has done a lot of; Someone at LC suggested paying one time fee to have our journals programmatically compared with ISSN registry that JSTOR has already paid for. Might make it easier for us to assign DOIs.
Would it be possible to get a report of all serial titles with nothing in ISSN field? Yes
Not sure how much overlap there would be with JSTOR and our non-ISSN journals.
Is there a chance we could do what JSTOR does? Yes,

• DOIs are now active for the 9000 articles through the blip process, Mike will send Martin a couple of examples of those to share with Rod
