It is agreed that we will adopt the preservation metadata specifications that Carolyn Foster has drafted pending information from Preservation 2000 Conference. Allen will work with Carolyn on refining the assigned responsibilities for entering the metadata. Tom Rohrig will be attending on our behalf. Summerlee Foundation did not approve our grant request. Both are due to be completed on or about Nov. 15.
Plans are underway for a program on the electronic depository project.
Cathy Hartman, Allen Mullen, and Coby Condrey will present this program. They will incorporate collections from universities and colleges as well as recommendations for exempt publications. Will await input from the studies being conducted by TWU, along with assessment of resources issues by Technical Services. We examined the document on Preservation Metadata Recommendations developed by Carolyn Foster. While members will review further, it is assumed that these recommendations will be accepted with minor revisions.
