Users Council 2008 Annual Meeting – Catching Up

By Ellen Meltzer, CDL Information Services Manager

On Friday, May 9, the Users Council met in downtown Oakland for its annual meeting.  The group, representing all of the UC campuses, the national labs, and a group of other California partners, heard about and discussed a host of issues: CDL trends, eScholarship publishing, the Web Archiving Service, Bibliographic Services (UC-eLinks, Request, Metalib, Next Generation Melvyl Pilot), Digital Special Collections (Calisphere, OAC, and the UC image service), and Mass Digitization activities.  The day ended with a lively round robin of the group’s most important local initiatives.
