Summary of features and concerns

• Primo list-serv discussion in last month or so includes concerns about:
  • records with authorized LC headings not displaying any LOD person functionality as expected
  • For prolific authors, Titles in Library By feature displays more titles where author is contributor than is creator (algorithm issues, sorting "by Date" isn't panning out well)

Any specific testing folks would like to do?

• Shift meeting time block forward 11am-12:30pm for last 2 meetings of 2024? shift to 2:30-4pm time block in Spring 2025? (these look relatively open on typical attendee calendars) 
• October 23 - share takeaways from Sept ExLibris webinar and LD4 conference; review Person entity feature in UTL Primo & brainstorm questions for Ex Libris webinar on 10/30
  • Discussion to also have a debrief about OCLC Entities and Meridian presentation, and look at the OCLC workspace in Postman
• December 4, 11, or 18 - retrospective review of 2024, brainstorm goals and ideas for 2025
• Update's from Hanlin research later in December
