·        2 issues presented

              o       Experiment with combining digital collections (from technical perspective)—a solid PSEC recommendation is needed for this

·        PSEC’s help is needed in identifying what is useful

              o       Would a federated search be useful?

              o       Are we adding content to local collectons?

·        The original charge should be meaningful
