Present: Michael Biggins (U of Washington), Janet Crayne (U of Michigan), Murlin Croucher (Indiana U), Joe Dwyer (Hoover Insitution), Beth Feinberg (UCLA), Dima Frangulov (East View Publications), Diana Greene (New York U), Jared Ingersoll (Columbia U), Mike Markiw (Arizona State U/U of Arizona), Larry Miller (U of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; Chair), Miranda Beaven Remnek (U of Minnesota), Karen Rondestvedt (U of Pittsburgh/Stanford U; Secretary), James Simon (Center for Research Libraries), Grazyna Slanda (Harvard U), Nina Shapiro (Princeton U), Mary Stevens (U of Toronto), Olga Tabolina (East View Publications), Patricia Thurston (Yale U), Allan Urbanic (UC Berkeley), Cathy Zeljak (George Washington U)

 The meeting was called to order by Larry Miller at approximately 8:00 a.m. Representatives introduced themselves. The minutes from the 1999 meeting were approved.

Announcements (James Simon):

• He passed out 3 documents: SEEMP holdings, Web site update and hyperlinks to CRL's catalog. This material, including an up-to-date list of SEEMP's holdings can be found on SEEMP's Web site <http://newsite.crl.edu/areastudies/SEEMP/index.htm>.
• The search for a new president of CRL is still ongoing. Meanwhile, Beverly Lynch agreed to stay on until the new president is in place. She has been very supportive of the area studies programs.
• CRL has increased non-member borrowing fees to $110 per loan and $75 per photocopy. These fees apply to libraries that are not members of CRL; if a library is a member of SEEMP but not CRL, non-member fees apply.
• SEEMP microfilms can be purchased for $60 per reel by members and $95 per reel for non-members. Income from microfilm purchases goes to SEEMP.
• ICON. Their NEH grant application was approved. They will receive $265,000 to create a union list of international newspapers. They are negotiating with OCLC. Goal is an online, free list.
• Web access to CRL finding aids. Will include foreign dissertations. There are 12,000 records of these, of a total of 800,000 dissertations. Allan Urbanic (U of California, Berkeley) asked if these included avtoreferaty of Russian dissertations. James said he would ask. Nina Shapiro (Princeton U) asked who catalogs this material. James answered that they are cataloged in-house. They are looking for outside funding. The foreign dissertation project is not growing quickly because of increasing use of electronic format for dissertations.

Financial Statement:

James distributed a financial statement for SEEMP current to November 7. The project has a balance of a little less than $49,000 and commitments of approximately $46,000. This is good.

Reports on current projects:

• Luczkiw Collection. Mary Stevens reported that 2 reels were finished, of a projected 90. Material is being filmed by Xebec Co. Material is publications by Ukrainians in dispaced person (DP) camps, 1945-1954. They are trying to figure out a way of speeding up the filming. Delay is being caused by filming in alphabetical order, while the material is shelved randomly. There is a bibliography of collection, Publications by Ukrainian "Displaced Persons" and Political Refugees, 1945-1954 in the John Luczkiw Collection, Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, University of Toronto: A Bibliography, which is produced as a print-on-demand document for approximately $25. Films have index numbers that correspond to bibliography. Most items have records in OCLC. James to group: How important is it to have material in alphabetical order? Mike Biggins: material in 18^th century Russian books project is random. If we have a guide, we can live with random order. Diana Greene: How much of a time difference will that make? Mary: probably a lot. Joe Dwyer: Hoover has many of the same serials that are in the bibliography. Serials were not included in Toronto project because holdings are too spotty. Other institutions probably have them, too.

• Newspapers from Former Yugoslav lands. Janet Crayne reported that Vreme was never filmed because microfilming was too costly using material from two institutions. Original plan was to use U of Washington's holdings 1993- and Hoover's for the rest. The original calculation for 1993-1996 was $5500. But Yale by itself may have fairly complete holdings. Norman Ross (Norman Ross Publishing, Inc.) says he can film it for less, but he first needs to find out if he can get the rights. James asked the group if it would be OK to go ahead with filming once the problems are solved, since the money has been committed. The proposal was approved, regardless of who does the filming.

• Newspapers of the October Revolution. Larry delivered the report of Michael Neubert (Library of Congress). Materials have been brought together, but 1918 issues can't be found. Project will be twice as expensive as they had estimated, but LC will make up the difference. Project should be completed, filming and all, in 6 months.

• Russian Regional Newspapers. Olga Tabolina reported that East View has finished the filming for the first part of this project and has begun work on the next part, 1996-2000 for the same newspapers. CRL has cataloged the papers and they’re available. If a SEEMP member wants to buy some of these films for his/her library, they are available from East View at the special price of $115 per reel. Someone commented that this project is "the best thing SEEMP has ever done." The issue of making the project ongoing was not discussed.

• Russian Right-Wing Extremist Press 1990-1999, pt. II. Larry reported that the U of Illinois had delivered its part to be filmed and that UC Berkeley will soon. These materials will be listed on the web, with holdings, rather than having individual titles cataloged. They will also go into CRL’s Foreign Newspaper Database. It was suggested that this project should also work with Hoover. Involving Hoover is complicated; Joe Dwyer (Hoover Institution) said he would think about it.

• Eurasian Pamphlets. Rob Davis’s (New York Public Library) report was given by James. There was a delay in the project, due to an NYPL grant deadline for another project. To date, all of the Project pamphlets—in Chuvash, Yakut and Kumyk—have had cataloging worksheets prepared. The pamphlets are expected to be sent to the Preservation Microfilming Office in mid-January 2001, and SEEMP can expect to be billed in the spring.

Digitization Projects: What can SEEMP do? Discussion led by Miranda Remnek.

• Introduction of issues involved. The number of digital projects is mushrooming. They include the East View databases and other commercial projects like NetLibrary, and grant-funded digitizing efforts like the Letopisy at Indiana University. There is a great deal of potential for duplication. There are four major issues:

1. Selection
   a. Purpose. Why digitize rather than film? This is an access issue rather than a preservation one.
   b. Type of material. What is more useful, current scholarly publications or older primary sources? Miranda feels older primary sources are probably better for such projects, but that view may be colored by her own interests. She gave as an example such 19^th-century "thick journals" as Russkaia starina.
   c. Date of publication. Newer materials involve copyright considerations. Russian/Soviet materials published before May 27, 1973 are not protected by copyright outside the Former Soviet Union. See the letter that Miranda received from Peter Roudik, Senior Legal Specialist at the Law Library of Congress at <http://etrc.lib.umn.edu/copy-1.jpg> and <http://etrc.lib.umn.edu/copy-2.jpg>.
   d. Format. Is what is being digitized microforms, hardcopy, manuscripts? James reported that the South Asia Microform Project purchased a microform scanner. It is in India, being used for scanning photos, maps and text material. This camera is available for other projects. There are also materials "out there" that are already digitized and just need someone to host them.
   
2. Processing. Who does it? It is always time-consuming and there are many problems, even if the digitizing is outsourced. It could be collaborative and used to improve expertise at the local library. It is important to use a standard encoding for markup; most projects use XML.
   
3. Cost. It is possible to find out what is a reasonable price.

• Discussion

1. OCR software. Miranda is using Fine Reader, which she finds very good for 19^th-century Russian. Dima reported that East View is also using Fine Reader. Fine Reader was reported to cost ca. $350 and Cuneiform $59 for the old version and $99 for the new one.
   
2. Cost. Dima said the cost depends on how you digitize: image only or text. Only text is searchable. But OCRing (to produce text from an image) multiplies the cost by 10. Even with the best OCR software, there are always errors that require a human editor to correct. This is true with all formats.
   
3. CRL’s digitization projects. James reported that such projects are generally grant-funded because they are extremely expensive. Both the Brazilian and the South Asian projects provide free access to the materials for everyone. Use of Brazilian speeches is heaviest from Brazil, meaning that the project is giving back to the country of origin.
   
4. SEEMP and digitization. Digitization is included in CRL’s microform project guidelines. Non-roman and lesser-used languages are a natural for CRL. If SEEMP wants films, they can be made from digitized material. SEEMP can be a guiding force in applying for grants for such projects.
   
5. Larry mentioned the American Council of Learned Societies’ project to digitize major history texts. It was scheduled for discussion in the Bibliography & Documentation Committee meeting, so he didn’t give details. See <http://www.historyebook.org/>.

LC-Russian State Library project to preserve of rare and fragile materials. Mike Neubert (Library of Congress) reported in absentia that LC has two cameras in RSL that were formerly owned by the Department of Defense. They will accommodate bound materials of modest size, but are not suitable for filming large bound or unbound materials such as newspapers. (The cameras were chosen by DoD, not LC.) The two libraries now have a formal agreement of the "protocol" type, describing in rough terms how LC will support the project. LC’s participation will be to buy the output of the cameras. LC will designate certain subject or other areas of interest, RSL will generate lists of possible materials for filming, and LC will make selections from the list. This is already being done. So far there has been a wide variety of materials proposed by RSL: music, bound periodical runs, books and manuscripts. SEEMP could participate in this project. It could purchase some material that LC has selected (LC is willing to give up some of what it selects in favor of SEEMP). If camera capacity outruns LC’s interests, SEEMP could select subject areas itself. Or SEEMP could even make selections of material for filming instead of LC. This is still something of a "work in progress," but the important point is that there is the potential of some SEEMP-directed filming using LC’s cameras at RSL. James said he would stay up-to-date on this project and keep the membership informed.

New project proposals:

There were no proposals to discuss.

General microfilming issue: it is very difficult to determine what has actually been filmed and what hasn’t.

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) has ongoing subscriptions to newspapers from Romania. They have so far made no active preservation efforts for these materials, because there are microfilms listed for them in Norman Ross’s catalog. But have they actually been filmed? Allan reports a different stage of the problem with some Bulgarian newspapers. Libraries have promised to send Norman Ross issues of the papers, but he can’t get them to deliver. Berkeley has one of the titles, and will ship them to Ross. The company has permission to film the papers already. UIUC has thrown out issues of newspapers because they’re in Ross’s catalog. Maybe he could have used those issues to make films. Ross needs to publicize which newspapers he has rights to film but can’t get issues for. East View is currently filming the Bulgarian newspaper Demokratsiia in Moscow.

Janet remarked that we need a registry of what is being filmed. Nina suggested that we also need a registry of what we have and could film. Mary told the group that the University of Toronto has a list of newspapers they subscribe to on their website, as well as a booklet. James said what we need is an information-sharing site. Would vendors submit information to it? Mike Biggins reported that both the East Coast Consortium of Slavic Library Collections and the Pacific Coast Slavic and East European Library Consortium (PACSLAV) have newspaper lists. (The East Coast list was not quite ready.) CRL can make links to these. Joe said that the Library of Congress has a master list of films in progress. An information-sharing page including information like this would be useful for coming up with projects.

East View is not willing to put information on the web saying what stage filming is at for different titles, but they are glad to answer questions from libraries.

EROMM (European Registry of Microform Masters) should be consulted, too, when looking for existing films. Its website: <http://www.brzn.de/eromm/>. It is not accessible to commercial firms, but it is to libraries.

Do SEEMP’s proposal guidelines include checking with vendors for existing films? EUROMM and other such sites should be included, too. See the Area Studies Council of the Center for Research Libraries’s page Resources for Foreign Microfilming Projects for additional sources to consult.

Material that could be filmed:

Berkeley and UCLA are interested in filming Mezhdunarodnaia evreiskaia gazeta from the 1990s. They can submit a proposal to SEEMP.

Dima had a meeting with Russian librarians at the Crimea Conference. Galina Kislovskaia had sent an e-mail to Russian libraries asking them to make lists of what they have that needs preservation. The list would then go to East View to put on the web, so that Western libraries could choose. Galia got only one response. She isn’t willing to push the issue, because she doesn’t want to be seen as working for East View.

 CRL is getting the Comintern Archive. This is a good illustration that it is not the case that vendors will not sell to CRL. SEEMP can propose purchases to CRL.

Timetable for new proposals

Feb. 1, 2001: final deadline for new proposals
Feb. 15, 2001: proposals will be sent to members to vote on
March 1, 2001: ballot deadline
March 15, 2001: results of ballot will be announced to the membership

Respectfully sumbitted,
Karen Rondestvedt
