I moved (descriptive) metadata, which I didn’t get to last week, to this week, and moved some of the readings with it. Ditto copyright, to next week. There will be a brief committee meeting.

415 – phone list
I have put the “Phone, e-mail, snacks list” in eLearning, on the front page. Let me know if there are errors.
