   2. GIST discussion

      1. ASTG has been asked to possibly work with RSTG to look at GIST

      2. GIST training has moved over to ILLiad Atlas people

      3. UMBC will move ahead with investigating GIST for possible implementation.

2. CPC -

   1. Tiffany did a presentation for CPC on UMBC's Patron Driven Acquisitions pilot project.  As a result of this presentation and discussion a new Item Process Status (IPS) for PDAs will be created. The new code will be PA. UMBC would be able to use this item processing status for their PDAs as well. When items are purchased, the PA status should be changed to [blank] or whatever other code applies. This will allow for batch retrieval of those that still have a PA in the IPS.

   2. K. Glennan created a spreadsheet that contained validation and indexing recommendations from Technical Bulletin #260 so that the group could discuss her recommendations.  Before implementing, the information will be shared with the CatDBM COI and UITG.
