1. Introduction:

The November 19th minutes were approved. Bill Richardson chaired the meeting.

2. Revised Task List:

Bill handed out the revised state publications task list which now consists of 8 tasks. Miko distributed and article from LJ by Roy Tennant ("Everything you wanted to know about digital imaging but were afraid to ask") and discussion revolved around capability of end users to access various formats, new technology, and the need to focus on database design and index building.

3. Digitizing Project:

The sample database of 1996 core collection state publications has been scanned at various resolutions and file formats and there is still problem with the file size required by some publications. The core lists need o be reviewed by a work group and criteria for selection delineated for future revision cycles. The last review was in 1991 and many electronic links exist today. Statutory authority might be used as one criteria. This review should be finished by the end of February.

4. CVL Project Coordinator/Consultant:

The draft job description was reviewed and revised. Clara Keyes will post the revised edition before the next meeting. Miko recommended that we format it in the sample RFP format that she distributed. It was decided to seek a two year appointment and to specify planning and implementation. Tasks 5 through 8 as well as Task 3D, E, and F are important to this position. The coordinator needs to understand technology, markup and access issues, and respond to technical assistance questions. Charles and Bill will write the consultant RFP draft and post it before the next meeting. The Consultant will be responsible for Task 3A-3F.

5. Next Meeting:

The meeting adjourned at 12:00 p.m. The next meeting will be January 7, 1999 in Frankfort at the CPE Conference Room starting at 10 a.m.
