Teamwork Makes the Herding Cats Dream Work

by on April 28, 2023

In September 2022 Missouri Evergreen hired a full-time Consortium Cataloger. Come discuss with the Chair of the Cataloging Committee and the Consortium Cataloger how they set priorities, divide the workload, and work together to wrangle a cataloging community of 60+ libraries. Whether a consortium’s cataloguing is centralised, partially-distributed, or fully-distributed, it’s crucial for members to agree upon policies, guidelines, and best practices. This presentation will review some of C/W MARS’ challenges, suggestions, and solutions in a multi-type consortium of 150+ libraries.

Collaborative code review / office hours
Hi Evergreen Community,

You are cordially invited to weekly collaborative code review sessions. In these, we'll meet for an hour to review recent pull requests, read code, run automated tests, try patches out, provide feedback, merge code that is ready... all the best stuff!

We can meet at https://princeton.zoom.us/my/sandbergja.

All skill levels welcome! You can join for as many or as few sessions as you'd like. If you have submitted a pull request that has been languishing and needs some review, please bring that along too. We're going for a fun, positive, and social tone. :-D

This is not to take the place of any of the other great ways that developers can get feedback on their work (e.g. bug squashing week, the new developers working group, typical review process), just a fun supplement.

Hope to see you there,

-Jane
