Re: lib-ir: IRG meeting cancelled for today

[Heather Briston <hbriston@darkwing.uoregon.edu>]

Here is a question that I was going to bring up today at our meeting, but 
will mention here. In your discussions with Ed Teague and others at AAA 
regarding the terminal projects - what answers did you receive? I've been 
part of e-mail discussions with Ed Teague and others (Carol I think you 
were cc:'d on a message or two) on this topic. We've been looking at this 
from the Thesis/Dissertation end - e.g. are terminal projects the 
equivalents of theses and dissertations when done for a graduate degree, 
and therefore are they a permanent record of the University. Currently I 
don't think we have an answer to that question, we were looking to meet on 
this topic sometime this spring. Thus, I'm interested to see how this 
discussion fits with the role of the IR (maybe it's inconsequential), and 
to find out if there is updated information that I don't have.

Thanks,
Heather
