 issues:

• publisher field
• author browse
• display fields
• date issued
• browse index for creator
• rights field is not indexed - need to pull records together based on their rights statement (Jolene)

 Discussion:

• The brief record (can be adjusted at the collection level - keep in mind that it will display differently only in that collection but not Dome wide)
• Need a subcommittee to make recommendations about brief records:
  • We need a default brief record
  • Specific use case recommendations

• Indexing:
  • Which fields are used for which searches

• Can we re-index Dome test to experiment or will it affect all of Dome?
• Are we indexing fields in Dome that are not in use and therefore unnecessary.  would the removal of these make the search go faster?
• What indexes do we want and which fields do we want mapped to them
• What do we call these fields (ie. instead of author, browse by creator?)
• Date Display!!! - can we remove the accessioned date
• Display item record (re Visual Collections - Aerial Photo)

Subcommittee to-do by 3^rd week of July (report out to Nina, Tom, and Ann prior to Ann’s departure):

• create a spreadsheet:  Old field, new field, label, etc...
• Recommendations in the area of Mapping, indexing
• How we label - make sure to communicate to UI group
• Review the indexing decisions made
• Default display - browse display record and brief record: pay attention to the template
