Agenda

1. Approve minutes

A couple of corrections were made to the January 7, 2001 meeting.  Reinhart will make the changes.

2.  Announcements

Bill Ghezzi - Jennifer has received responses on the 'limit' concerns. Greg McCall is working with her on the limit screen and the broken hot link in series.  The Language limit has been changed based on the top 20 languages used in our present catalog.  Material type - we sent them what they needed to begin working on this problem and hope for a solution soon.  Series - the display formats are inconsistent (hot links go to different fields...)  Response from Innovative has improved, much to Bill's relief.

3.  Continue discussing the Main Menu Subgroup Report - Mark
