Julie, Ann and Sandy gave an overview of the Economic Growth Center 
Digital Library Project (PowerPoint is linked from the Dev Forum site:
http://www.library.yale.edu/~lso/iacdevforum.html ) . (Thank you to 
Julie, Ann & Sandy!)

Other topics of discussion:

-I am attempting to coordinate joint meetings between the Dev Forum and a 
similar group that is meeting at ITS - more details to follow.

Suggested topics for future meetings included:
-OACIS
-Greenstone (tentatively scheduled for April)
-unalog 
-The Jonathan Edwards Project

For the March meeting I am trying to schedule a web seminar demonstration 
of OPUS ( http://www.imageaccess.com/dlsg/products_dline.htm ) - this 
product was seen by several Library staff members at ALA and appears to be 
of interest to those producing digital content. I am hoping this can be 
arranged for:

March 18th at 9AM  ... more details / confirmation will follow.

And now for a brief survey on the Dev Forum ... if you could please let me 
know:

If you don't attend Dev Forum is it because:
-Day of week doesn't work
-Time doesn't work
-Agenda/Topics not of interest
-Other? ....
-Not interested (can you suggest another from your unit/department who 
might be a better fit?)...

Ideas on what would make for more productive/useful meetings?
Would it help if I booked these meetings via MM so you'd get a reminder?
Other comments? ....

Thanks and have an enjoyable weekend.
