GENERAL

Susan:

  • Have gotten most Workplans and we seem to be on track to finish on time.
  • We are ready for our TS FY21 priority planning on Oct 5
  • FC books vacuuming cleaning started so that they'll be done for the collections move
  • Irina joining Dale/Matt onsite on Wednesday mornings starting Oct 7
  • We are sending batches of the Boston Ballet Slide collection to Lilli for processing so that they can be digitized by the Picturae folks while they are onsite in Lamont.
  • Folks are submitting wonderful YPE proposals--keep them coming!


Discussion about the 541 and putting costs of items in the field.  We all agreed that given this information is in the Acquisitions module, and everyone can access it, there is no reason to include the cost of items in the 541 anymore.
