Program Committee Minutes -- Orlando/Chicago-2004/2005
June 27, 2004

Present: Jackie Byrd (Indiana), Soobum Kim (Stanford), Terri Miller (Michigan State), Janice Pilch (Illinois), Marek Sroka (Illinois)

Janice Pilch reported for chair Inna Gudanets, who was detained due to conference transportation problems. Janice began by reminding attendees that we decided at the January, 2004 conference that the Program Planning task was no longer the responsibility of the chair-elect and that having a program was optional.

One topic, "EU and Libraries", to be jointly sponsored with WESS, was abandoned, because it was felt that it would be too difficult. Another topic, "Digitization of Medieval Texts: East and West", also to be jointly sponsored with WESS, was considered. However, the committee decided to opt out of sponsoring a program for the 2005 Annual Conference, due to excessive time commitments. Janice will meet with Heather Ward, the chair of the WESS Program Planning Committee to let her know. Janice will put Heather in touch with the speaker that SEES had in mind for East European portion of the program.

The possibility of SEES sponsoring the program at a financial level was discussed, as this would allow SEES to continue to support WESS in some way with the original program idea. Janice will discuss this with Heather Ward.
