ELECTRONIC RESOURCES COMMITTEE

• SEES Webpage: A discussion on the postings for the SEES webpage was led by Cathy Zeljak. Included were:
  • Deadlines: It was decided that minutes should be distributed on the SEES majordomo within a month of the ALA meetings and revised minutes sent to Cathy for the SEES webpage within 2 months of the meetings. New committee membership and officers of SEES should be posted within one month. The preliminary conference schedule should be posted on the WWW when announced by the SEES chair, including any highlights on programs, speakers, etc. The SEES website will be updated as information becomes available on the conferences.
  • Committee Procedures: It was decided that written procedures for committees would be beneficial.
  • Committee Information: Each SEES committee is responsible for posting and maintaining its own webpage.

• Old business:
  • Jackie Byrd reported on the progress of updating the Slavic Librarians' manual. The URL for this is: http://www.indiana.edu/~libslav/slavic_directory.html
  • Jared Ingersoll's webpage listing links from Slavlibs is now linked to the main SEES webpage.

PRESERVATION COMMITTEE

• Preservation Committee website: Brad Schaffner reported that the Univ. of Kansas banner was now on the website for the Preservation Committee. This is required by that University for websites posted on its server.
• Future topics: Brad asked whether SEES was missing out on some important discussions, such as the Marshall Poe issues, academic publishing or the preservation of electronic resources.

JOINT MEETING

• Atlanta 2002 meeting: Cathy and Brad suggested another joint meeting of the 2 committees at the Atlanta conference. They would have a vendor, such as JSTOR, speak and then have a 2nd speaker discuss preservation issues.
