Other Topics
Susan: Dues paying members to DPLA given priority for harvesting and metadata mapping and we have mapping problems with Archival data, so are we going to have to wait to get these in? Important that the title include the dates of the material but it's not included, the 520 is used for a rich descriptions and that's not being passed to DPLA at all, finally we are passing a format of "Book" which looks odd for Letters.
Susan: What's going on with the design doc for segments? Joel: Working on it, and will include the specs for the bulk import of the segment data
Joel: Waiting on network team to open the firewall for the full text search server to connect directly to the databases then we will be able to index all of the content.
