At the Technology Committee meeting, retired member Jenny Lorentowicz reported on standards issues. This was a particular interest of Jenny's and nobody on the committee was interested in pursuing this area. Nothing formal was ever published and David would like to drop it as a committee responsibility. J. Niles commented that there is nothing in the committee's charge regarding keeping track of standards. Karl Rebus was appointed to attend a discussion on the 2000 Annual program.
Planning is ahead of schedule.
The program will be on links between ILS vendors, materials vendors and libraries. The process will be emphasized in the program, with acquisitions, systems and collection development librarians as a panel. CMDS will be contacted for co- sponsorship. S. Somers suggested that the committeee work on a catchier title. D. Marshall asked about the formal proposal form-how to get one.
