1. Minutes of the Meeting of February 8, 2000
   Approved with two changes:
   • Correction to spelling of Maureen McCormack's name
   • Revision to wording in item 2(i), 2^nd bullet

2. Continuation of discussion about the ISR/Systems Relationship
   
   1. Jackie's notes from the Feb. 8^th meeting were reviewed. The group agreed to work through all of the issues on Maureen's merged document, to continue Jackie's format for documenting ISMC's discussions, but to consider this a 'brainstorming' document which will be used to form the group's recommendations.

   2. Chris' prototype for providing information about CDROM updates via a web report was reviewed. Overall it was viewed favourably by the group as an effective means of communicating this information. Suggestions for improvement included:
      • adding information when there is a problem and an update cannot be loaded
      • adding date of next expected update or frequency
      • including both the latest update completed and any update disks received but not yet loaded for each title (and, if this can be done, changing the report's heading)
      • including EDS databases
      • including cancelled and one-time-only databases

      Linda will convey this information to Chris for his consideration and will determine the status of specific databases questioned at the meeting. Doug and Shabiran will take the prototype to ISR for further review. Doug will forward any information he has on file about the older databases.

   3. Discussion about communication issues identified by ISR and Systems continued.

3. Next Meeting
   

   The next meeting is scheduled for February 29, 2000 at 1:30 p.m. in Porter 407.
