  1. TPAC membership

    TPAC discussed membership for 2001. Cindy Shelton will take TPAC’s recommendations and appoint new members as needed and a new chair for next year.

  2. Electronic Serials

    Reynaldo reported to Cindy on TPAC’s discussion of the draft of electronic serials acquisitions and processing workflow, presented by Andy Stancliffe, at the last TPAC meeting (Oct.12). Cindy will oversee a revision of this draft by CMC, and will submit the revision to TPAC for review. At that time, TPAC will invite Sharon Farb to discuss this and her new role as Coordinator for Digital Acquisitions.

  3. SRLF Deposits

    Reynaldo will ask Cindy for advice on how TPAC is to proceed regarding SRLF deposit procedures and training issues.

  4. TPAC Website

    TPAC will continue to look at the website for possible revisions of both appearance and content.

  5. Deposit Accounts Question

    In answer to Sara Layne’s question, TPAC agrees that the 50 or so "deposit account” records, which had migrated from ORION1, can be deleted without consequence.

  6. WEB2 for Classic

    Reynaldo will discuss the problems involved in getting Web2 up and running with Cindy. TPAC has also noted that the delay in Web2 has become a public service issue as well, as the number of rush requests has decreased because of an ongoing reluctance by non-processing staff to use the regular version of Classic.

  7. Training for Selectors

    TPAC recommends that this be put on hold until the Web2 for Classic issue has been resolved.

  8. Miscellaneous

    TPAC will follow up on the progress of serial rewrites in various units.
    Reynaldo will contact Gary Thompson regarding the progress of O1 Archive searching capabilities.
    Next TPAC meeting will be Nov. 2.
    Minutes for Oct.12 were approved.
