1) Library Gateway
Tom reported that the CGI used for subject browsing was engaged 6,755 times over a three day period. This would seem to indicate that subject browsing in the Gateway is "alive and well." Tom will be meeting with the Gateway Committee (and guests) on February 15 to present what he has learned so far about Networked Resources integration into Voyager.

2) Pointing WebVoyage to Cornell's test database
Because the Team will be focusing our efforts over the next two weeks on searching configuration, which requires access to the System Administration module, the Team agreed that we should ask George Kozak not to point WebVoyage to the Cornell test database until the System Administration module is "unlocked" and available for use.

3) Search configuration
The Cataloging Task Force (David Banush, Karen Calhoun, Betsy Gamble, Marty Kurth, and Ed Zieba) described the work they have done and what they had learned about configuring searching in the Systems Administration module. The OPAC Team and the Cataloging Task Force will be configuring the same kinds of searches for the OPAC and staff client searching. The system is flexible enough so that searches can be configured differently in the OPAC than in the staff clients, but the Team agreed that the default should be to configure the searches the same way for staff and OPAC unless there is a compelling reason not to. The OPAC Team agreed to work on the following tasks (Philip, Elaine and Lynn will take the lead) with the goal of reaching preliminary decisions on the following issues prior to the February 28 IRPC meeting:
* Decide on the specific search elements that in the drop-down menus on the "Guided search" (keyword) pages
* Decide how the search elements will display (e.g., what the elements are called and whether codes will be included)
* Decide how results will display and sort in the title listsDecide on the specific elements comprising the heading type (composite) searches
* Look at field weighting (this will most likely take place after the February 28 IRPC meeting)

We agreed to the following protocol with the Cataloging Task Force:
* Record decisions on the same spreadsheet the Task Force created to record their staff searching configuration decisions. This spreadsheet will be made available in the Voyager Manual.
* Send all search configuration changes we decide to make in the System Administration module to Marty Kurth, who will maintain the master copy of the systems administration documentation and who will make the changes in the module. This will allow us to keep track effectively of the configuration the two groups are doing as the Cataloging Task Force will be working with the same System Administration searching tables as the OPAC Team.
* The Cataloging Task Force will send changes they want to make to the WebVoyage directories, if any, to Philip, who will maintain the master copy of the WebVoyage directory documentation and will make all changes to these directories.

The next two meetings of the OPAC/Gateway Configuration Team (February 14 and 21) will be devoted to search configuration issues.
