Transcript Award:

The Team has narrowed down the nominations to four which should receive final consideration. The Team discussed the merits of each transcript and further narrowed the pool down to two. It was decided to recognize both final transcripts.

Emily will compose a draft of an announcement, including the criteria the Team used, and will get feedback from Michele and Barbara via email. Emily will also discuss options for announcing the award with Caleb.

The Team discussed whether or not to refer to the highlighted transcripts as receiving an award. There was agreement that this should not be perceived as a competition. The highlighted transcripts will be referred to as "Notable transcripts".

The process of deciding on notable transcripts has been very time-consuming for the Team, but there is consensus that it will be easier next time, now that the Team has a process for soliciting and evaluating transcripts. Next time we will also limit nominations to a specific time period.

Other:

Barbara and Michele initially agreed to serve on the Team for 6 months and have agreed to remain on the Quality Team for another 6 months. Other L-net librarians are always welcome to join the Quality Team (and any other L-net team).

The next meeting will be Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2:00. The agenda may include:

Evaluation of the Notable Transcripts recognition
Refresher curriculum for experienced L-net librarians
Possible involvement with L-net Summit
