Minutes
June 16, 2001

Present: Cathy Zeljak (George Washington), Brad Schaffner (Kansas), Mischa Buczkowski (Oregon), Jackie Byrd (Indiana), Joanna Dyla (Stanford), Diana Greene (NYU), Michael Herrick (Harvard), Jared Ingersoll (Columbia), Sandra Levy (Chicago), Terri Tickle Miller (Michigan State), Robert Rohrbacher (UCLA), Karen Rondesvedt (Stanford), Grazyna Slanda (Harvard), Andy Spencer (Indiana)

Guest Speaker: Thomas McKinlay Vanderlinden from Bridgeport National Bindery, Inc. spoke on ways to preserve library materials while maintaining, as much as possible, the look and "feel" of the original item.

Minutes: The minutes of the January 2001 meeting were approved.

Project updates: Andy Spencer reported on the progress of Indiana University's Letopis' zhurnal'nykh statei project to digitize 20 years of the letopis. Complications in proofreading the digitized texts have resulted in slowdowns. It is possible that several years of the letopis will be mounted on the WWW without proofreading.

Jackie Byrd reported that the online Slavic Librarians Directory is current for US libraries. Updating of non-US libraries will begin this summer.

Brad Schaffner announced that Slavic librarians were needed for the AAU/ARL Global Resources Program. Information can be found at: http://www.ku.edu/~slavlib/ARLproject.htm

Cathy Zeljak gave an update on the SEES website.
