1. The main order of business was to follow up on the 3/2 meeting with Jana re: the fund structure and reporting on funds. The decision has been made to go with a more simplified fund structure, where some of data needed by selectors is part of the fund structure itself, and some of the data is provided by custom queries or reports. Linda, John, Scott, and Bill are working with Lydia to provide Jana with a list of the kinds of information that we want to use for fund reporting. Jana will then advise us. Lydia brought a handout entitled "Developing a Report Specification" to guide the work. The "fund reporting sub-group" will meet Weds. 3/8 at 11 a.m. in the Olin 107 conference room to begin listing the data that is wanted and identifying where to get it. Scott agreed to draft a proposal to define the approach to the Voyager fund structure and associated reports; this proposal is to be vetted through IMT Steering. At the same time, Linda, Bill, Scott and John will begin building and testing the fund structure in Voyager. Linda reported that by April 19, we must be ready to build a fund structure to support the second test load.

2. Lydia provided some advice about the set up of the Voyager.ini file. To have your data go into the appropriate Reporter print queue your settings need to look like this:

[OPAC]
Server=132.236.27.123
...
[All Other Stanzas]
Server=132.236.27.122

3. Susan Currie reported on Lydia's meeting with Access Services to discuss print queues (aka Print Locations, in Voyager-speak). All appears to be well on that front.

4. Angela Horne reported she is on the agenda of the March 13 IRPC meeting to discuss public services reporting needs. She will bring the information she gathers back to the WG for consideration.

5. Michelle reported on progress with respect to staff training in Reporter and MS Reports. She and Adam have been serving as TAs for the Intro. to Access classes. Michelle is handling training related to Reporter and Adam is handling the prepackaged reports training session. They meet with Karen on March 14 to go over handouts and course content. The timing of the first reporting training session (the one hour class) must be AFTER the "Intro to Voyager" session. And, the first Reporter and prepackaged reports sessions need to follow the initial functional training sessions, because it would be difficult to train anyone how to use the various reports until they've been introduced to the functional module that the reports support. Karen announced that another "Intro to MS Access" class has been scheduled--for April 12, 8:30 to 12:30.

There was further discussion of the MS Access 97 vs. MS Access 2000 question. Should a person upgrade now to Access 2000, or wait until Voyager 2000, in which reports will be displayed and updated via Access 2000? The consensus was that upgrades to Access 2000 should coincide with the upgrade to Voyager 2000, if possible.

6. Agenda item NOT FULLY DISCUSSED at the March 3 meeting: Action item from Jana's visit--the Reporting WG must provide a list of essential custom fund reports on day one of Voyager. Jana agreed to help us with the specs for those reports.
