Susan:

  • With Carie and Francis needing temporary seating in Pusey from April/May-August while they renovate the Map Room we will be tight on space.  We just need to be patient for a bit.
  • Our next TS meeting will be to have status updates folks Year of Engagement projects who have not yet done them.  Irina will present hers in April.  I think we are going to have an all-Houghton summer event--a mini-unconference?-- allowing everyone to present their final projects.
  • Lewis and Susan are taking the Inclusive Managers Toolkit course this spring; Adrien, Dorothy and Linda will take it either in the fall or next spring (whenever it is next offered.)
  • Susan is coordinating the April all-staff agenda--what would we like to see happen at that meeting.  Should it be TS-themed, or invite someone to come talk, or ....?
  • POE sublibrary in Alma may change, Susan is working with Corinna and many others to find a good solution.
  • Linda and Susan are getting Edison job descriptions over to HR.

Adrien:

  • Rona has taken a position at the World Bank in DC, her last day will be in early May.
  • Project archivist search should be wrapping up.
  • Her workshop at Tufts went really well.

Lewis:

  • Working on getting better procedures for vendor payments, particularly large monetary payments.

Dorothy:

  • Amy Sloper and Dorothy are thinking of holding a Creative Arts digitization meeting every other month to share information, updates on projects, and policies/procedures
  • Adrien and Dorothy are going to come up with documentation regarding folders not in the finding aid when they are being digitized, or the folders need corrected metadata

Linda:

  • Eliminate the 908 from Holdings and move it to bib record, you will only need it if you DO NOT want the records to tape out.
  • Vidal is close to finishing, we will finish on or before June.
