E content team will review the SFX knowledge by the end of June. ITD will generate a report of all 956s by campus; these should be compared to SFX knowledge base as well. Laura will try to arrange a joint meeting of ERIC Task Group and User Inter Task Group in July. ERIC is presenting a session at ELUNA in June. Purchase of Syndetics services still under consideration by E content folks and CLD. Serial titles in the KB but not in catalog still need solutions (possibly MarcIT ot Serials Solutions)
