The following list reflects the consensus reached at the 1989 FCLA Joint Meeting and the October 14 Circulation meeting held at UNF. The top five items in each of five categories of NOTIS functions are identified. On the scale, "1" is the highest priority. FCLA's primary commitment is to the projects already identified on its tasklist, namely ongoing production and planned dataloading. The items prioritized by the Joint Committee are candidates for FCLA human resources if such resources are available during the current fiscal year.
