Catalina's time report

Steering Cttee reviewed a detailed report from Catalina on her allocation of time to local and consortial projects.  Scottie requested that the tracking of her Oberlin time be more detailed.  Carol suggested that Catalina plan some working days at OWU just to increase her visibility and accessibility.  Mark noted that Wooster's feeling more connected with project work after a couple of workshops (gen. metadata + metadata for local project) led by Catalina

Catalina's using the "clocking it" software to track her time
