• Discussion on future development of the digital objects module scheduled for December 14 - registration at https://lyrasis.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEpce-trjkoGdSGvc2uCimrn5zVU0UM-027. We’ll be distributing a pre-discussion survey closer to the event. There is also some current development going on around some low hanging fruit digital objects issues like making it clearer in the public interface when there is digital content for a given resource.

Subteam-Led Discussion

This month: Testing!

Austin could not make it to this meeting. Cory Nimer may be present to discuss on his behalf. If not, I’ll open it up to the Team, and if not again, we will adjourn early!

• Something relevant to your subteam’s workplan, like workshopping an idea, getting feedback on a decision

• Suggestions for TAC documentation/training

• Simply to tell us what your subteam does! Walk us through a recent agenda, talk about a recent decision, pull back the curtain on your subteam!
