Minutes of the December 22, 2004 TERMinators meeting

Present: A. Krieger, M. Lehman, T. Lehman, L. McGowan, K. Ryan-Zeugner, C. Smith

Following the agenda distributed by Tom:

We discussed where to move Tests from Resource Types - to "Formats" or to "Research Tools." Since the sources listed provides sources of tests rather than texts of tests we settled on "Research Tools."

The term, Treatises, was deleted.

The term, Arts and Entertainment, was deleted. Items listed under it were moved to Local and Regional Information. A&E has already been removed from the Reference Shelf page.

The following definitions were agreed upon. Revisions were made in the interest of consistency and parallel structure where appropriate throughout the list. Definitions are meant for selectors. Wording should be familiar to selectors and users, not jargon.
