4. New projects
There was an interest that we look into running a workshop for liaison
librarians regarding assessing the sessions they give. This and other
project ideas will be discussed at our next meeting.

5. Computer set up in the LT3 - Carl Nagel
IST would like to use Polaris as the platform for programs. What does
this means to library staff training and User Ed?

Polaris is very secure and demo's using the Internet would work but
networked CD-ROMs could not be accessed. Possible solution would be to
have duo boot so that Polaris or another system could be accessed where
library staff could use networked CDROMs and the Internet.

Action: Carl - have Chris Gray forward list of 100 titles that are
networked. This amount will decrease as titles are accessed from the
Internet.
Action: Anne - after discussing concerns with ISR on January 14, 2000
prepare statement that we would need duo bout to be sent to Carl by
January 20th.
Action: Carl - investigate if duo bout is feasible and secure with IST
on January 20th. Another option might be to have a second hard drive
that could be interchanged in the laptop computers in LT3.
