Good afternoon all,

Thank you for attending the kick-off meeting this morning. We are all very excited to begin work on your project and are eager to address the challenges of the MedRen collection.

As Stephen identified at the end of our call, the items Columbia will provide to Luna are as follows:

1) data (approx 1400 records - possibly via ftp site or web download) and any necessary data description information. Information regarding availability/retrieval of data (ftp or web site) can be sent to me.

2) images (approx 4900 images - PCD copies). Please let me know when PCDs will be ready for shipping and send to the address below.

3) search scenarios which involve multi-level hierarchy for testing and use in development

4) collection description as mentioned in Implementation Questionnaire 5.0.3: indicated as "To come [Consuelo Dutschke will supply]"

5) starting point for generic Columbia background for cross collection searching (typography, image if necessary). For the MedRen collection, we will be utilizing the existing background (jpeg attached); however, currently the background contains the collection name "The Digital Scriptorium". Please provide new collection name if required.

6) Luna will utilize a generic "no image available" placeholder image for those records with no associated image unless Columbia would like to deliver a specific graphic for this purpose. In the questionnaire you mention that the linking value between the catalog record and the image file will be provided, please specify how data records with no image link will be identified.

Immediate tasks for Luna (will be provided before the end of the week):

1) summary of the existing preferences/display/search/sort options for the DS collection currently in Insight for review & enhancement

2) rough draft timeline for implementation which will is dependent on delivery of materials and availability of Columbia staff to provide feedback and information when necessary. (Columbia indicated ideal timeframe for install and training mid-August)

Please let me know if you have any questions/concerns that were not addressed at this morning's meeting. I will be out the office June 9-13th and will provide contact information in my absence.

Thank you for your time,

Gina
