New Intel equipment (expected to arrive mid-April) will establish greater number of points of
access for research cataloguers, as well as permiting web and database services prototyping and enhancing server robustness.

Each department's databases has been outsourced for conversion to the MultiMIMSY database format, and we expect completion by late April. Uploading this information to our server will permit departments to update information directly.

Train-the-trainer work will start at that time, and we will no longer use department-specific databases for the shared image data.

We must establish policies and standards for language and data entry into the database structure so queries will work similarly across all departmental data. This will require testing and iterating our preferences over time.

We must develop a method to communicate between the Oracle server (MultiMIMSY) and the Luna Imaging System. MultiMIMSY contains information about the images managed by the Luna software.

We expect to develop the capability to use internet browsers to access certain elements of either (or both) the MultiMIMSY or Luna databases.

We must enhance the kiosk workstation's security and robustness.
