Steering Committee Update: July 7, 2010

• We welcomed Catalina to her first Steering Committee conf. call. Alan reported that Catalina was reviewing project documentation and local project proposals, looking into project management software, and reviewing a lot of saved emails Alan passed on relating to services and ideas for the project that have come to his attention over the past 6 months. Kenyon and Denison have given some guidance on dates for Catalina's orientation to those campuses; Alan has encouraged the other campuses to suggest dates too and said there might be opportunities early on for her to visit other OhioLINK institutions' digitization setups.
  
• We're unsure who will be the interim OWU steering committee representative
  
• Oberlin is considering 3 local projects; others are in the works for a later round of committee deliberations
• Wooster has used local projects funding to hire Deardra Fuzzel as a 1/2 time Digitization services associate
• Denison has approved a 3rd local project; Kenyon has approved 4 projects; Ron will send the project proposals to Catalina for background; when all projects are formally accepted (see next item) we will post the proposals at the project's major documents site
• Drafts of a Project Approval letter to send to faculty and a Project Grant Acceptance for faculty to sign were discussed. Alan and Catalina will come up with revised wording about intellectual property.
