Debrief on ITIS and GBIF calls (Pam and Carolyn)
Pam, Martin and Bianca attended ITIS Staff Meeting. Staff shared how they use BHL. Positive feedback overall. Had some general questions, informed about scan requests. Synonyms and expanding searches - ITIS said they could help with that. Discussion of moving to common taxonomic backbone. Funding model, BHL + EOL + ITIS for central funding.

Carolyn and Pam met Dmitry Schigel who works with community of scientific users. He shared some of the surveys they've done. Geographic names finding. Dmitry mentioned journal where we could post the proposal.
