In attendance: Sara, Brad, Suzanne, Keith, Paula. Others were there in spirit.
The first action item is to check the integrity of Metalib for dead links, and to see if any new databases can be added that weren't available in the past.
To do this, team members will check their Quick Search categories by running searches and noting the above problems.
The found problems will then be noted in this blog by adding comments to this posting. They will then be aggregated and sent to Jackie for resolution.
Here is the list of team members assigned to this action item:
Business -- Brad
Social Science -- Sara
Science - Paula
Education - Susann
Health Sciences - Elizabeth
Humanities - Keith
Communications - Suzanne
Time line: end of March. That is when our next meeting will be.

Social Sciences looks good, no problems. - Sara
For Communications, under the search children and listening, I got the following message for ABI/Inform:
Internal error. MetaLib cannot retrieve the number of hits from the target
Project Muse is just search and link, so we should consider adding something different in its place.
Checked Science Quick Search 2/11/08 5:53 PM
genome drosophila melanogaster
Problems:
Remove: Basic Biosis
Add: Biological Abstracts
Error: Science Direct "cannot parse result"
Humanities Quick Search has one problem:
Literature Resource Center Periodicals:
The database is currently not available. Try again later or ask a librarian for assistance
"Business+Economics" search:
- nafta and truckers
- interest rates and great depression
Problems: ABI/Inform Global "Internal error. MetaLib cannot retrieve the number of hits from the target.” However, if I went directly to ABI/Inform, I would get vaild results.
Perhaps "EconLit" database could be added as a database.
