Previous Meeting Minutes: 03-02-2011 Meeting Minutes

 

I.  Committee updates

    a.  Advocacy

          Sheila sent a message to directors and former members and has received some names of people interested in serving on the committee (which she sent to the Executive Committee via email). There was a question on the length of term for the chair.  The term would start right away and go into next year (so ~15 months), and that person may be asked to continue for another year.

     b.  Information Literacy

          Marge emailed Marcia and asked her to check with some people on being chair.  Marcia spoke with Margo Hamm, who is willing to chair. We need to contact Margo and ask her to convene the committee and give her the charge, etc. Marge will contact her.

 

II.  Summit

     Anne is dealing with arrangements for the speaker (Meryll Penson).

     There will be a panel discussion as well as small group breakouts; panelists invited to stay for reception/dinner.

     Topic will be future directions of KYVL from different perspectives.

     Invitations for panel on KYVL:

    •      KYVL - Enid Wohlstein - confirmed
    •      KDLA - Wayne Onkst- confirmed
    •      KYVL Steering Committee - Sheree Williams - confirmed
    •      KDE - Kathy Mansfield - will confirm after April 11th
    •      CPE - Rob King (President) and/or Aaron Thompson (Sr. VP for AA) - not heard back
    •      Legislators - Senator Leslie Combs - confirmed; Senator Williams - not heard back
    •      Higher Ed - W. Huston (SCC president and current AIKCU president) - interested, not confirmed; Gary Cox (lobbyist at AIKCU) - not confirmed

     FoKAL directors who were also on KYVL Steering Committee will lead small group discussions (Susan Brown (Transylvania), Carrie Cooper (EKU), Tara Cooper (Union College), Sheree Williams (JCTCS))

 

III.  Bylaws changes

     Bylaws changes require a thirty day notification to membership.  Ilona will send a notice to directors.

 

IV.  ILL Survey

     Billie Anne sent a summary report of the survey results to the directors.  There doesn't seem to be enough interest in having a committee or listserv, but a list of ILL contacts would be helpful.  Ilona will set up an ILL section on the wiki and Billie Anne will create the directory listing the contact information from the survey.

 

V. Wiki access

     Directors only can edit; others can just comment.

 

VI. LDN

     a. Summit

          Pat reported on registration for the Summit: 11 people have paid so far and a couple have declined. Directors may need a reminder since they didn't have to register.  Ilona will send a reminder in the message with the by-laws information and ask people to contact Pat with questions.

LDN is handling the guest registrations:

  • Enid (full)
  • Wayne (full)
  • Paul (pays) - KCTCS
  • Michael (pays) - KCTCS
  • Jeff (breakfast) – UK
  • Panelists (supper)

       Jeff Huber and Jeff Naidoo are coming from UK SLIS.  They are scheduled to speak on the second day but Anne will invite them to come early and participate on first day as well.

Anne is planning to give attendees a plastic sticker with the FoKAL logo.  If budget permits she will also get a reusable banner with the FoKAL logo.

     b. Participation

          Only 14 libraries ave NOT paid the LDN eligibility fee, and only 13 are not participating at all.  Anne will put together a cost savings list for distribution at the Summit (will also include saving of staff time).  We could also show a video clip highlighting benefits of using LDN, as well as have time for Q&A.

     c. OCLC

          Anne received a list of what services are being used by FoKAL members.  FoKAL could become an OCLC group in order to get discounts on certain services, but it would involve a lot of effort for only a few services.
