Meeting Notes

06/26/02 10:30AM meeting at Five Colleges

Present: S.W. Brown, C. Loring, M. Hanley, J. Schafer, S. Berger, J. Jourdain

1. We agreed to have our Aug 6 meeting at Smith.
2. We accepted the notes from the 6/12/02 meetings.
3. We discussed/agreed upon revisions to the annual report to the FCLC.
4. Jan and Stephanie updated the group on the progress of TDNet implementation. TDNet has all our data now and we're hopeful that we'll have sample pages to look at very soon. We're waiting for a timetable on the entire project from TDNet. As soon as that's available, we'll make appropriate announcements (particularly to RIO regarding the interface and user training) regarding progress, via a status report on the project late in the summer.
5. We continued to review and revise our ground rules.
6. We discussed our ideas regarding an unmediated, 24-hour turnaround document delivery system among the Five Colleges. Recognizing that the required technologies have not yet converged sufficiently to allow this kind of service to become a reality, we concluded that we must continue to scan the market for newly emerging technologies rather than implement a partial solution to local document delivery.
7. We discussed some options for a Five Colleges Libraries website as a sub-site of www.fivecolleges.edu.
