I just uploaded the most recent save of the Powerpoint, if anyone would like to take a look at it. I went off the memo and included the most important info, as well as working from each of your slides. I still have a couple of screen shots and citations to add. RM

 * Welcome, SIRSI group!
 * 4/7/10 ETA: Please check the Tasks discussion thread for new information!**

A couple of recent changes to note: -I moved Connie's information from Research page 2 to the main Research page. I will try to delete Research page 2 when I figure out how. -All of our discussion so far has been under the "Hi everyone" thread, so I started a new thread that we can discuss our delegated tasks. It is titled "Tasks."

Have a great Monday!

Here is Sally's email c&p'd. I started a "What do we want to know?" page so that we can list our questions there. Let's continue to post our references on the Research page, just make sure you include your initials with your references. 1) I gave you a list of questions as a starting point. Your group should be able to generate a long list of questions about what you want to know about your system. So you might add a new page to the wiki - what do we want to know. another page might be - what do we know? Use the Big 6 model to help you get started on this. EVERYONE in the group should find 3 different references about your system. I gave you starting points for information. Talking to other libraries counts. If you are using the system yourself, the manual is a resource. Start a page for your references - As a group you should generate 12, 15, 18 references Take to the end of the week if you need to. At this point, all I need is a reference list. It does not even have to be annotated.

2) Write a talking points memo. Decide who is going to cover each topic. One person might be the compiler so the memo looks like it was written by one person instead of a group.

3) PowerPoint or another presentation tool each person generates 2-3 slides about their topic. Again - you could have a compiler to make it pretty Upload each section of the presentation so that I can see that each person is doing their part. Research -Features, Strengths and Weaknesses** Connie and Kathy, would you like to work on compiling this, please?
 * So based on the above email, we will need to redo the list below. We've got a good start on some of the research, but we need to make our list of questions that we want to know. Then we can move forward more effectively.

 * -What other librarians have to say** Becca is working on this. Melissa, can you do some digging in this area as well, please?
 * -Personal observations** If you have personal experience, please step forward. Otherwise, we'll have to go off of what other librarians say.
 * -Hardware specs** I think someone already found this and posted it on the Research page.
 * -School IT Network compatibility** Seth, would you check into this using your school as the "guinea pig," please?
 * -Web-based** Based on what I've seen so far, I would say the answer is "yes."

I've made files an uploaded them for the compliation and the TP memo. I'll also create one for the PP and upload it shortly. ETA: Here it is: ETA: If you guys think it would be better to use google docs for the compliations, that's cool with me. TTFN, Becca

Maybe this might help... Here is a google docs file for the Talking Memo. I used the info on the OWL info page. Maybe it might be a useable guide for us to work off of. I think Sally wants us to follow the OWL format; maybe as we add our information we can then edit out the orginal stuff. (Google Doc allows anyone to edit) Click on the link [] KL

Here is information about Sirsi's user inservice ... looks good KL
