Previous Meeting Minutes: 09-08-2010 Meeting Minutes

 

I. Feedback from LDN agreement

     Many members have asked about renewals for databases that were previously purchased through Lyrasis - those will be moved to LDN as soon as possible.

 

II. TennShare

     Ilona met with two representatives from TennShare as well as Anne to discuss possibilities for cooperation.

 

III. IMLS grant opportunity

     Ilona sent out a grant announcement from IMLS (http://www.imls.gov/applicants/grants/nationalleadership.shtm). They seek to fund projects on collaboration so it could be a good opportunity for FoKAL.  The grant does require matching funds, which might be a problem.

 

IV. KYVL/VLAC funding proposal

     A new funding proposal for KYVL was approved by VLAC and will be sent to members soon.  The new funding model could impact FoKAL libraries as they may wish to subscribe to resources via FoKAL instead of KYVL.

 

V. Collections

     Since Asbury, KSU, and EKU all have separate collection staff, Morgan, Sheila, Carrie, and their respective staff will meet to discuss the possibility of a collections committee and other issues surrounding collections.

 

VI.  Possible Summit topics

  • repeat of Leadership Summit
  • shared catalogue (there will be a vendor presentation for SAALCK in April/May)
  • learning commons (may want to include IT or other campus departments)
  • survey directors for topics?

 

VII. Issues from Anne

     Anne has been in contact with all member libraries.

     She will use a Google Doc to show offers

     There are two product demos set up already.

     She will create a separate document for subject /small groups.

     She will try to track subscription timeframes and see if it is possible to consolidate subscriptions to match with a July-June fiscal year.

 

Next meeting: December 1, 2010, at 1:00 p.m. ET at St. Catharine's.
