Cataloging & Metadata: Database Maintenance -- Review of Recommendations, Ideas, and Suggestions

We concur with the team's assessment that centralization vs. decentralization issues prevent much integration before a shared system.  The group's report and their Phase 2 charge will be considered in conjunction with Batch Processing as there may be opportunities in batch processing .  The Phase 2 charge should encourage idea sharing in preparation for Alma.

1. Keep each institution's "database maintenance culture" similar to how they were pre-2CUL, especially since both systems would require major overhauls of maintenance procedures, policies, and personnel in order to make them work the same.
2. Share documentation. GREEN LIGHT to explore idea. Any documentation must be portable.
