2. Discussion of testing pilots, projects and assessment and cost/benefits. Themes that emerged are: it should not be complicated, it should be uniform across teams except when it can't, and it is important to take into account cost/benefit up and down stream when doing an assessment. For example non-MARC metadata work is largely project-based and can't be consistently assessed and shelf ready is expensive for technical services but saves time for selectors and gets books to the shelves much faster. There was group preference for measuring work in "local currency" rather than in complicated MOUs and payments. We looked at 4 methods for measuring work which are available on Basecamp.
