  4. There was general discussion regarding the NetLibrary order for the trial 500+ titles for UCLA. YRL Acquisitions has input a purchase order into the Classic database so that the contract with NetLibrary could be finalized. Procedures will be established once members of the Task Force for this project (namely Andy Stancliffe, YRL Acquisitions, and Valerie Bross, YRL Cataloging) have returned from ALA Mid-Winter. Guidelines will be developed on how to deal with payments for this initial order.

  5. There was a general discussion of the status of the Classic Supplier file cleanup. TPAC will tell LIS when we’re ready to produce lists to send to the Units for cleanup. There was a question raised as to what kind of priorities should be set for this cleanup. TPAC will discuss further at a future meeting.

  6. There was discussion of the procedure for editing SRLF holdings information. TPAC was asked to discuss the procedures with the YRL Serials Department. Sharon will ask them to attend an up-coming meeting.

  7. Selector training in Classic will be discussed at a future meeting. TPAC has been looking to the feasibility of using Web2. Before we proceed with the training several issues about what Web2 will and won’t provide need to be discussed. Lola will confirm with DRA what information is supposed to display on Web2.

  8. It was decided that TPAC would continue to rotate who takes minutes. New members will be included in this rotation once the cycle has gone through the old members once more.
Next meeting will be January 25,2001.
Carlo will take minutes.
