InCommon Library Services

1) create a list of the info providers that we'd like to see joining 
InCommon. Elsevier, OCLC, EBSCO, JSTOR, Thomson GALE (whatever 
they're called these days...), and Refworks are already members of 
IC. There are other vendors that have joined the various european 
federations.... and a thirsd group has implementations underway....

I think it would be useful to begin to create our own prioritized 
list for IC, however....

 so far, the discussion has centered around the game of chicken 
currently playing out between JISC and Eduserve (the Athens vendor). 
However, this should be resolved soon ;-), and I'm told we should 
expect to see the discussion move toward campus deploy issues....
