•Independent colleges are meeting with 2 year colleges to finalize report on reformatting of the task force

•Thanks to Ellen for her most recent report and her excellent work on this project. The project is going well though shelving still needs to be disposed of.

7) Summon
•Michael sent the full OhioLINK central catalog to Summon, not sure how long processing will take but hopefully it will be ingested soon.

8) CONSort
•Still have a conflict with batch loading records stopping the system. Mary and Michael will set up a way to run a test to quantify this problem then begin looking for solution.
