STATUS OF PROPOSAL: LL

Handout: NJDH Timeline 9/03-10/06

• Linda Langshcied received a call from IMLS stating that the overhead charge was essentially unacceptable. Linda was given 5 days to revise the wording which she did. Shortly after revision was submitted both Linda and Grace Agnew received verbal confirmation that the proposal was accepted and $440,000.00 was granted for IMLH. It was stated that IMLS perceived the proposal to be perhaps too ambitious.

• Month 1 for this grant was defined as 10/03. Discussion ensued regarding what needed to be in place for month 1. For example metadata structures need to be addressed, equipment specifications need to go out to bid, etc.

GOALS: AM

Handout: DAWG Goals

• It was decided that the Swedish farmhouse collection would be used as first collection object.

METADATA REQUIREMENTS:

Handout: http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets

After much discussion and looking at various possible scenarios, given the complexity of metadata and it's requirements, it was concluded that individuals will need to meet as groups and work at assessing needs and resolving issues.

WORKFLOW DESIGN

PH has been out and will need to review work done in his absence and move on from there. Expectations will be sought at the 8/21 DAG meeting and the work will proceed from there.

Because the discussion on metadata ran as long as it did, 2 hours, it was decided that the meeting should be adjourned and the remaining agenda items will fall to the next meeting, which is scheduled for Wednesday, October 15th from 9:30- 12:00 in the Heyer room at Alexander Library.
