1. Minutes of Previous Meeting (March 21, 2000)
   Accepted as amended

2. Notices about New Indexes
   Some librarians have expressed concern about new electronic indexes being added to the list without advance notice. It was proposed that, when a new database was added to the list, the list maintainer (currently Doug Morton) would send out a general message about the database, naming the selector who purchased it (if applicable) as the resource person. It would then be up to the selector to arrange and announce any necessary training sessions. Doug Morton will send out an announcement to this effect and discuss it at the next ISR meeting.

3. Ask us/Tell Us / ASKLIB Concerns
   At a recent ISR meeting concern had been expressed about the new Ask Us/Tell Us on the new Uwelib. The task group comprising Marina Wan, Christine Jewell, Judy McTaggart, Anne Fullerton, and Wish Leonard reported that:
   • the Ask us/Tell us button and functions be available to the world
   • the "Distance Education" part of the service would be listed as "for UW people" and ask for name and ID number. "ASKLIB" is restricted to the UW domain.
   • the "ASKLIB" and "Other" queries are filtered before forwarding to someone for a response; inappropriate questions will be filtered out.
   The group is sending out a more complete report.

4. Upcoming Topic
   Next meeting will be facilitated by Susan Moskal in Davis conference room, concerning the handling of multimedia databases. An agenda will not be issued.

5. Discussion about ISR/Systems Relationship
   The draft document was further revised. The current plan is to give a "heads up" at the next ISR meeting (Apr. 7) outlining the process we've been through and how much we've learned, pointing out that there are things for both groups to move forward on. We will review the next draft at the April 11 ISMC meeting after which the document will be distributed to ISR before discussion at the Apr. 21 meeting.
