HEADLINE: Summary Report of Conference Call

January 30, 2002

1. Status Report on NEH Records

Matt reported 67 completed records with 12 in the holding pen. Patricia was rejecting 14 records and processing 2. Chuck was processing 5 records that looked good and is now tackling a final pool of 10. Assuming that 5 of Chuck's 10 came through, this would give us (67+12) 79 records with which to open a prototype to invited guests (if not the world). The group thought this was fine.

Chuck would be reporting his progress and any questions to the list.

We plan to close out the NEH list by Friday Feb. 15 and will next have a call Wed., Feb. 20 at 4pm (EST).

2. Prototype We encourage ourselves to check the Search Interface and comment aloud on what we find. [For example, I can get nothing on my screen from the URL this morning].

Although a fully live browse function could not be implemented before April, a "static browse" function could be rigged up once all the NEH data was in.

3. Getty

Once Getty is closed we'd move on to the 25 Getty records (David volunteers to find email addresses for the contacts). John is still looking for a grad student to help with the contacts.
