- Scanning: What after Entomology?
- Scheduling a BHL overview session for all NPS and other new staff
- OCLC's Copyright registry program
- General workflow issues:
- Overdues/Circulation
- Serial bids
- Monographic deduping
- Titles added to the queue on special requests
- Serials that Erin posts as having permissions granted
- BHL Futures Issues (For a report that Tom will prepare for EOL)
- Specific digitizing proposals for that period. I need rough estimates of how much BHL scanning you would like to commit your library to for the above period. Be realistic about what your library can handle.
- What type of biodiversity texts?
- How many volumes/pages
- Meetings etc. – how many do we need? I think we need more than we budgeted for in the first two years. What are your thoughts?
- Annual Institutional Council meeting
- Technical/Architecture Meeting
- Workflow/scanning meeting
- Selection meetings
- New connections and partners. We have made strides in connecting with others in the first two years. How can we expand?
- New Directions. While digitizing the legacy literature must remain a central activity of our project for this funding, are there related goals that we have neglected? Aside from the obvious start-up missteps, what have we not done that needs to be done, e.g. Field notebooks? What services have we not planned for?
