Elsie said that Morehead had received only one copy of the documentation. She called EISI and was promised a second copy as stated in the contract but has not received it yet. Sites that are implementing this Spring are in various stages of receiving functional and modular training. Perry announced that Don Frank, currently an assistant director at Georgia Tech, has been hired as the new library director at NKU and will start this summer. Issues that emerged during the reports and received some discussion follow.
People are uncertain about the best way to go about getting the clients.
If libraries want to use offline circulation, it is recommended that they use the 99.1 client. The clients will be available on the server but no one knows for certain when they will actually be available for download from the server. Miko offered to represent the consortium to EISI on this issue. Miko is arranging the second of our planned quarterly meetings with EISI staff. She wanted to know if the committee members could meet with them on April 27 but the sites implementing this year were scheduled for training.
