Call for participation/feedback

[Karen Johnson <johnsonka at usfca dot edu>]

Folks,

Things are beginning to take shape for our Oct. 22 meeting.  We expect III 
to do a presentation on Metasource and Release 2005 enhancements.  There 
will also be a tour of the Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Library following 
the program.

One thing we are contemplating is a panel discussion.  We are considering a 
couple of directions for this panel and would like to know what you 
prefer.  The original premise emerged from a conversation about how much 
the system has evolved for some of us from a strict turnkey character based 
environment to the current trend of giving much more power and control to 
the institution.  This manifests in a number of ways--through advanced 
system administration, through the opportunities  for web opac 
customization, through the ability to create or tweak record load 
information etc.

1.  Would any of you be willing to participate in this panel 
discussion?  Please contact me if you are interested.  I know that there 
are many great resources among you.

2.  The topic might be too big, so what should we focus on?   Web Opac  or 
System Administration.  III will send different staff depending on the 
topic so I need to know asap.

3.  Other--is there some other topic you would like presented or discussed?

Please respond by Sept. 10 so that we can get on with the planning and 
preparation.

Also please forward this to staff that may not be subscribed to either the 
Norcaliug or IUG lists.

Thanks in advance

Karen Johnson
Chair, Norcaliug
Past Chair, IUG
