Primo Normalization Project Team Update: Mary Charles reported that the Team had met with ExLibris and presented a list of question for them to answer. One concern was the method with which Primo chooses the preferred record. The Team will be meeting tomorrow to discuss FRBR. Mary Charles asked that the Metadata Committee give some input on the 5xx fields to be included in the PNX record. She also invited anyone from the Committee who is interested to come to the meeting tomorrow. The Committee recommended that the 530s and 550s not be included. No decision was reached on the 551s.

Primo: Roberta asked for the Committee's input on the record enrichment data that will be used on the Primo records. The TOC data that we purchase from Marcive is owned by VU, whereas TOC data from other vendors is usually linked to the records from outside of the Acorn record. TOC and other enrichment obtained through Amazon will require a link to Amazon for purchasing purposed. There was concern from the Committee that this linking would be counter to the ALA Code of Ethics. It was generally agreed that we would probably want to continue getting TOC from Marcive and get other enrichment from another source. The subject of reviews is still under discussion and Roberta will keep the Committee informed of any progress on that and will also pass along any opinions from the Metadata Committee on the issue.

Series Project Team: Marshall will email the Committee members the Interim Report of the Project Team. There is nothing new to report since the Team was waiting until after ALA to continue their discussions. The main focus will be what do we want to do about series on the local level.

Java Client Training: Linda passed out the calendar for the training. Staff will sign up by emailing Machelle Keene. Linda will email the outline of the contents of the classes to the Committee members.

Minutes: Roberta asked that someone else volunteer to do the minutes for awhile. Eileen agreed and will start with the next meeting.
