1. Topic: Agenda review

Outcome: No changes


2. Topic: Spring semester meeting schedule

Outcome: Meetings will remain on Tuesdays, 1:30-3:00 through end of May. Exceptions for LFA meetings are March 29th and May 24th, when they will be 1:00-2:30.


3. Topic: Ingenta free article faxing price limit increase

There is a fair amount of money in the account designated for subsidized ordering of articles for faculty that is non-transferable. Usage of this service has declined over recent years while prices for individual articles have gone up. An increasing number of articles are over the current per article limit ($35), and are therefore unobtainable.

Outcome: Increase per article faxing limit to $60.


4. Topic: Mass Deacidification and framing next steps

CMT's task is to identify by call number range those portions of the general collection whose value as artifacts is deemed likely to justify very long-term preservation in the print format. These ranges will guide long-term Preservation planning, prioritization and resource allocations. See also CMT minutes from September 13th, October 5th and October 12th, 2004.

Outcome: CMT members will begin considering likely issues and possible criteria, timeline, etc. This item will return to the agenda on January 18th, 2005.
