The team agreed that TS presentations should be loaded into DSpace and linked from TS Web using the URLs provided by DSpace.

Nate?s asked Marty Kurth and Karen Calhoun via email where they would like to see TS presentations live within DSpace and whether or not he can move their presentations. Once he hears from them, he will go about loading their presentations and his own into the repository. Once those presentations are loaded, the TS Web team can show DSpace to various groups within CUL Tech Services (Metadata Working Group and Working Group on Cataloging) to encourage them to have their presentations moved from TS Web into DSpace and remind them to send any uncollected presentations to the group.

Nate will demo DSpace to the rest of the TS Web team at its June meeting.

The team briefly examined the charge and membership for next year?s group. The membership of the team will be expanded to nine members. Its responsibilities will be expanded to include merging the content of the CTS web site with TS Web content, eliminating the CTS Web site; changing TS Web to align its content with the new CUL-wide Library Technical Services organization; implementing CommonSpot for managing TSWeb content; and completing an analysis of technical services policy and procedural documentation from CTS, Music, RMC, and Mann Library technical services.

Paul Houle will get back to working on the implementation of the Nutch search engine on TS Web the week of May 23. He will set the search engine to crawl daily and wrap it in the header and footer common to fourth level web pages on TS Web (see the dictionary page on TS Web for an example of a fourth level page: http://www.library.cornell.edu/tsweb/dictionarypage.htm). Nutch is currently set to display only the first two results of a search with a button for linking to the rest; although we would like to see all the results of a search displayed at once, this cannot be done at this time.
