PCC meeting
Naomi and Priscilla reported on the recent BIBCO/CONSER Operations Committee meeting. Much of the discussion dealt with preparations for a possible RDA implementation and the need for PCC guidelines.
Connexion upgrade
CMG reviewed the plan for the Connexion upgrade. Greg is part of the IT group testing all applications, including Connexion, to make sure there are no problems using them with Windows 7. When the testing is completed, IT will distribute the new staff computers. The Connexion upgrade will be part of the image for CatMet computers. Afterward, those staff not receiving new computers will get Windows 7 and the Connexion upgrade.
