Agenda & Notes
- Welcome JJ! : Keri
- Yay! JJ comes to us from MCZ so she is already well versed w/ BHL stuff; Welcome, welcome!
- Summary of where we are on SI publications lists, copyright stuff, location of lists and what still needs to be done: Suzanne asks, Everyone Participates
- - May 16, 2012 updated spreadsheet w/ JUST SI publications SIL_InstPermissionsTitles.xls
- - May 16, 2012 for "fun" I created an export of USNM titles in BHL. You can do this by searching on something, pulling up your search results and selecting "download results" link just after "Books/Journals" label USNM_BHLtitles.xlsx
- So we can agree that everything on this sheet that is an "institutional permissions" is a gov doc, yes? Yes.
- List is complete as far as copyright metadata needs are concerned
- Suzanne to look at list to fill in any gaps with SI publication titles - may be a need to have JJ find the title IDs in BHL eventually
- TL2 is In copyright but we need to get some sort of permissions agreement on file...
- Cultivated trees of Panama is another due diligence title, Grace to double check about this
- Just double checking: Everything clear/OK re: copyright metadatagoing forward in Picklist, Macaw? (Bianca)
- Keri to see if she can pass the CC license link, some doubt about being able to do this
- Recap of EOL/BHL flickr tagging event : Gilbert, Grace, Bianca
- next steps for tagging events: Grace, Gilbert
- Plan to continue with internal events with the goal of working towards a bigger public event
- SciELO visit recap: Bianca, Grace, Gilbert - it was good, see the notes via the link on left; for questions about these meetings, contact William Ulate

- Training Videos Offer: Grace, Bianca
- Received offer from Edward Keller II, works for Georgetown Gelardin New Media Center and PT w/ SI (Tim Coffer), to do some training videos for BHL
- Suggested we need a script and total plan for videos; Grace to work with others to come up with ideas about what videos we need and writing scripts to put them together
- Working on getting USGS some "BHL 101" info (Bianca) & Getting Started with BHL Scanning at IA
- As with BHL SciELO meetings, there is a need to assimilate some Intro to BHL materials for new BHL partners/members
- Would be good to add this to the Cookbook
- Maybe a cleaner format is needed for the final presentation; a packet of materials would be helpful
- Need folks to test Gemini Converse add on (Bianca)
- Gemini updates:
- Scan Requests backlog: 132 issues - Bianca needs help!
- New procedure for portal edits that are not so quick fixes - new queue available to collect portal editing and pagination related issues that folks do not have time for; these issues will serve as a queue for interns, volunteers, and BHL Staff when time permits; sort on resource = unassigned & component = portal edit + pagination (Note: you can save this filter to pull up quickly later)
