We don't really know; it's a bigger question; BL doesn't want an email based system - Status of information back to SIRIS (SP, BM)
Gil felt there was an interest from RS for this to happen; it could also be of use to ILL; SP suggested that we move forward with the plan currently on the table to add all SIL owned and scanned monographs. - Smithson Society Luncheon
