1.  Minutes of Previous Meeting - Deferred.

2.  Add'l Agenda - 8. Purchase Access to U of T Data

3.  EDS Open House - 
    It was decided by the group that rather than having an Open House,
    the EDS could be promoted and publicized as part of the T.R.A.C.E.
    Faculty week in September.  Sue will contact Bruce MacNeil and then
    Gary Griffin to make arrangements.

4.  EDS Office Hours Newsletter - 
    The group reviewed the proposed hours of service memo prepared by Sue 
    Moskal.  Shabiran Rahman suggested adding an additional time slot to
    the existing schedule.  Sue will revise the current memo to reflect
    the additional hours of service, and present it to the group for review.

5.  EDS Brochure - 
    User Education has offered to include information about the EDS in
    their Grad Student information package.  It was agreed that much of
    the same information in the Office Hours Newsletter could be used
    for this purpose.  Doug Morton volunteered to contact Linda Hastings
    regarding adding EDS information to the new faculty packages.

6.  DLI Update - 
    The group felt it necessary to defer discussion on this topic until 
    Debbie Tytko (Materials Acquisition) could be present.  Debbie plays 
    an important role in the DLI data request/retrieval process.  Some
    of the outstanding issues involve how requests for DLI data should
    be handled, and how to proceed in the event of Debbie's absence.

8.  Purchase of Access to U of T Data - 
    Doug Morton is following up on this and will have a report ready
    for the group when we meet again on March 6th.

9.  EDS General Discussion - 
    The original mandate and mission of the group was revisited.  It was
    agreed by all that a report on the status of the working group should
    be prepared and presented to PP&G.  Doug Morton will prepare a draft 
    version for the group's review.

Next Meeting: March 6, 1996, 1:30 p.m., Davis Conference Room.
