Minutes - 21 January 2004Present: Hennig (chair), Duke, Edelman, Quirion, Skuce (minutes)
1. BELL Import into Vera
Nicole has spoken with M. McSweeney regarding a handoff, to Collection Services staff, of the Serials Solutions and Barton imports. Nicole also plans to send our proposal for the BELL import out to a wider audience for comments. Unless there are serious objections, we hope to go forward in late February.
2. Metadata Services Unit Web Site
WAG previewed the new web site for the Metadata Services Unit. The group discussed where to list the unit, and where it should be linked from. The site index, the "departments" page, and appropriate points within Document Services pages, look definite. Nicole will speak with M. Branschofsky regarding linking from the DSpace site. We hope to have the Metadata site public by the end of January.
3. New MIT Libraries Home Page
WAG reviewed proposals received from 4 firms, and visited web sites they'd designed. The field was narrowed to 2 strong contenders. During the discussion, Nicole compiled a list of questions for the finalists and for Bob Wilt, the programmer who will be working with the selected designer. Our budget is tight and firm, and we want the new home page operational by June. WAG will be in close communication over the next 2 weeks, and will move forward quickly.
Next meeting:
Wed., 2/4/04, 2-3:30, Barker Conference Room
