Review of last meeting's minutes.

1. IP policy.  Tom McFadden distributed revised (final?) versions of the new Intellectual Property and College Name and Logo use policies.  These will be provided to the FEC prior to going to the Board of Trustees for adoption.  The College lawyer recommends registering two logos:

   and     

2. Discussion of priorities for faculty computers. The existing priority list, adopted some years ago, is:
  • Department Secretaries
  • Junior tenure-track faculty
  • Senior faculty (by seniority)
  • Visitors
  • Adjuncts

3. Cable TV installation.  This summer a campus-wide cable TV system will be installed by Falls Earth.  Students will have access to some 40 cable channels.  The College will be able to assign 20 or more channels.  One will be a bulletin board, which will be administered by the Central Scheduling office.  Another could be used for live or taped campus events.  Others could be used for special feeds (e.g. international channels).  One unresolved issue is who will be responsible for administering the campus channels, beyond the bulletin board. 

4. Upcoming conferences.  Union will be hosting two IT conferences this Spring:

5. Library update.  Schaffer Library has received proposals from four online catalog vendors.  Some of those vendors will be invited for on-campus demonstrations.  The goal is to select a vendor this Fall, and have the new system running in about 12-18 months.

6. For future meetings:

  • Patriot act (schedule a discussion)
  • Review advising system
  • Training sessions
  • Update from ITS
  • Update from the Web office
  • Campus computing and network security issues

Meeting adjourned at 4:40.
Next meeting: Thursday, April 18, 2002; 3:30, Steinmetz 237.
