1. Permissions update = http://www.sil.si.edu/BHL/BHL_permissions.cfm (to provide simply a list of titles we have permission to scan; maybe includes queue of titles we want to scan but do not have permission for?) + Gemini (issues entered for all permissions titles requiring gap-fills/follow-up; issues entered for new permissions titles) -- this sound like a good plan for now?
2. Pilot pagination program update
3. Gemini upgrade update
   1. If you have not already completed the survey about Gemini, please take a few minutes to complete it at

1. ILL slush fund -- how much $ do we think we need? HOW do we process payments? (ex. SIL uses an OCLC's fee management system)
2. Do people want a portal admin how-to user guide in the wiki? or a Word doc? Yes!- Pilsk
   1. Wiki Page for Guide Discussion
3. Ingest serial bidding - ingested California serials and the need to bid them retrospectively in the mashup
4. BHL-US survey?
5. BHL Staff listserve: who's going to set it up? - lipscombb Jan 4, 2010 I vote we create a list with just BHL digitization staff and CC Tom, Chris, Martin, etc. as needed, sound good?
6. Duplicates, we agreed to keep them in the portal -- how should they be displayed?

Option A - Dupes in Search Results

Option B - Title Merge & dupes in vol. list

Search Results show: Transactions of the Linnean Society, 2 ser., Botany -- MOBOT Transactions of the Linnean Society -- NHM vols. 1-22 of 1st ser. duplicated with MOBOT title below Transactions of the Linnean Society, 2 ser., Zoology -- MCZ Transactions of the Linnean Society -- MOBOT vols. 1-30 of 1st ser. = complete run of serial, duplicates NHM vols. Title/Record view: Clicking on the 1st ser. NHM title shows its volumes and no duplication of MOBOT vols. Clicking on the 1st ser. MOBOT title shows its volumes and no duplication of NHM vols. Users simply need to click on both the MOBOT and NHM 1st ser. to see BHL's holdings Does sort order matter? This isn't doing anything, right? Not merging which means is that this option is do nothing? - Pilsk

Search Results show: Transactions of the Linnean Society, 2 ser., Botany -- MOBOT Transactions of the Linnean Society, 2 ser., Zoology -- MCZ Transactions of the Linnean Society -- MOBOT vols. 1-30 of 1st ser. = complete run of serial, INCLUDES duplicated vols. contributed by NHM Title/Record view: Clicking on the 1st ser. MOBOT title shows its volumes and duplicate NHM vols. in number order vol. 1 vol. 1 vol. 2 vol. 2 Users only needs to click on 1 option to see BHL's holdings User may be confused by duplicated vols. under a single record? how many dupe vols. is too many?! - lipscombb Dec 31, 2009 No more than 2 please! Lets keep lots of copies but work on the display and the record keeping of "unpublished" - Pilsk Vote Up and Vote down by usage? Naive quality assurance (From Mathew B.) - dukeg1We have had Gemini feedbacks asking us to merge all titles into one hit so that users don't have to go back and forth between title entries to see what we have. This being the case, I vote for this option
