Title: Sincerely,

I guess there is not much choice.

Considering all the uncertainty, are we getting any better terms for 2022 if for some reason we would still not be able to hold a conference? I know we can't pay the entire penalty now, but I can't see how it would be a good idea to be on the hook for another $50,000 on top of the $20,000-plus now. You would wish they could be a bit more understanding in this environment.

Thanks,
Chris

Catalogers - 
This thread is intended to continue the conversation from the September Cataloging Working Groups meeting regarding the creation of new search and icon formats - including those that may pull from RDA fields.  Full notes from that meeting are available for review.  Please respond with your comments to this email (or you can email me directly).

The discussion has 3 primary components.

1.  Document Current Icon Definitions
See definition of Search and Icon Formats in existing Evergreen documentation.
I also created a supplementary document with a visual image and summary of where each of the pieces used in icon definitions can be found.
Your feedback on this document is welcome.  The supplementary document is attached and can be found using the link above.

2.  Identify and Define New Icons
(a) After reviewing the list of existing icons, please share your suggestions for new icons that are needed - and suggestions for defining them using bib record data elements.
(b) If you are already using additional icons at a local level, please share your image and definition!
(c) There is one new icon that will be included in the 3.6 release -- defined in launchpad bug #1835736
We have a New Icons shared document for collecting notes on new icons.  It is available to anyone who wants to add suggestions.

3.  Multi Valued Fields and Composite Record Attributes
The CWG Organizing Committee is reviewing record attribute definition functionality across multiple versions of Evergreen to see what is possible within the staff client currently.
It is likely that additional developer work/assistance may be needed to expand definitions to include some RDA fields that we want to use to differentiate formats.
Our plan is to provide additional documentation and opportunities for training -- along with preparing new launchpad bug submissions.

There are likely other questions related to icons (and using RDA fields to define them).  If your questions are not included in these few categories, please send them along.  We'll keep a running list.  I will add a home for this discussion and associated documents to the CWG wiki.

Best regards,
Jennifer
