There was further discussion on the OPAC task force and the interface for union catalogs, and the technical difficulty involved in bringing up the union OPAC. Seamless was defined "as much consistency as possible."
Diann Davis reported on the evaluation forms for June 5-6 which were good overall.
Richard reported that an announcement has been made to the CCLA Executive Committee and Advisory Board that CCLA will not be doing their switch to production in June/July as originally planned. They will wait until December/January. That puts CCLA 6 months behind the SUS target date.
