  GC reported on how the plans for the GRIB were going; still some issues around monographic series. BHL Europe portal also launched ths week. BC and GC also went to NHM to see how the scanning worked there. Hope to talk them through how to do monographs at some point in the future
• Citebank soft launch: SCP
  CiteBank went live in a very soft launch this week; still in a test mode, so don't publicize it too much, and offer appropriate criticism. GC reported that user feedback re: CiteBank would not go into Gemini but into a direct email for the CiteBank team. Anything related to BHL data would feed back to the usual Gemini team.
• Computers in Libraries
  BC reported that her paper on ingest criteria was accepted at CIL for March 2011
