ENHANCEMENTS (Pam Nicholas)

Pam made copies of the NAAUG Enhancement Groups for 2001-2002 membership list and the NAAUG Enhancement Requests for 2000 for those who were interested. Pam explained to the group that the enhancements submitted for 2000 by the Serials Enhancement Group were not included by the overall Enhancement Group since the module is expected to be rewritten in 2003. Pam described how difficult it is to gather enhancements without the 14.2 version of the system being implemented, but encouraged the group to submit to her any changes. Mary Lehman asked what version would the enhancements effect? Pam said she was not sure based on the fact that ExLibris was planning on rewritting the serials module and that last years enhancements did not get included.
