Luna Upgrade -- new version (6.3.6)
Mira upgraded to production server on March 3

• Improved functionality for hand-held support
• Compound object support from admin side 
• Browser fundamentally the same
• 6 new Luna Commons collections added (publicly accessible collections in Cornell's Luna platform)
• Amica Library licensed collection added --108,000 images 

New Image Resource: Archvision Modules 3, 4, 5, 6 (see descriptions here: http://archivision.com/educational/overview.html)

• 53,000+ images, 64 video clips
• In Luna all modules available.
• In ARTstor modules 1 - 5 available; module 6 is not yet loaded.

ARTstor updates

• Handle system needs to be considered when moving entirely over to Shared Shelf.
• Service-level agreement may be necessary if ARTStor cannot keep up with KVRF loads, which are now down to two/year.
• Shared Shelf, although still extremely temperamental, is now being utilized for multiple collection development efforts, including multiple faculty grants; most small collections have been migrated to Shared Shelf (although they will continue to live in Luna as well).

Kaltura updates

• We agreed to proceed with front-end development for CUL (see MIT Tech TV as an example).
• We will also push for connection to E-Commons, though this is a ways off in terms of prioritization.

Subgroups 

• We agreed to form a Reference/Instruction/Outreach subgroup. Kaila will send out a call to VRWG and set up the first meeting.
• A/V subgroup will continue to meet to discuss ongoing development efforts for A/V support throughout libraries.
