Status:
12/5/08: CUWL directors (at Green Lake meeting) asked for formal charges for the resource discovery and the library management system task forces (see links above). Steve Frye and Marlys developed drafts (which were shared with the LTCC) and will discuss with the Executive Committee next week. CUWL wants to approve the charges before the two groups proceed.

9/15/08: The LTCC meets in Madison on Sep 29 and will discuss the task force report and how we will proceed with this goal.

1/23/08: we will wait to see the report from the Madison task force and make plans after that is released. In the meantime, we are reading articles on this topic.
