Announcements:

  • Space video loading procedure using Box has worked successfully. The next step is to load the descriptive content, and then promote the site.

Discussions:

  • For the Security Concerns Forum, we reviewed the volunteer elements and approved them all, as they offered very different and complimentary perspectives.
  • For the space videos, we are still exploring a generic account for people to use to upload.
  • White paper: David will load the next iteration into the wiki; all members will contribute (see details below).
    • prepare sections for: why these reports are valuable, what these may mean for non-Voyager members,

    • Customization possibilities using other reports, what additional questions could be answered, (future survey for other reports)
    • Confidentiality concerns (Best Practices)
    • Cooperative efforts that would benefit from group analysis (ILL reviews, designated in-depth areas of collection)
