    Subject: Preservation Information on NOTIS
    To: exlibris [at] zodiac__rutgers__edu

    Regarding Dale Patterson's inquiry via NOTRBCAT via EXLIBRIS...

    At the first meeting of the NOTIS Preservation Interest Group, the
    participants discussed ways in which they used NOTIS to record and
    track preservation decisions.  Three methods were identified:

    583 field:  used by University of Florida
    NOTES field:  used by Kansas State University to record what is
    being done
    NOTES field:  used by Northwestern.  Searchable codes are placed in
                  the NOTES field to record treatment planned or
                  performed.

    If you would like to obtain more information about any of the above
    mentioned methods, contact either co-chair.  We can put you in touch
    with individuals at the above institutions or discuss your interest
    further.

    Minutes of the meeting are available.  The group will meet again at
    the ALA annual meeting in Atlanta, *probably* on June 30th,
    10:30-12:30.  Agenda will be posted in advance on e-mail.
