COMMITTEE UPDATES

Advocacy – Naulayne credited Margo and the IL for coming up with the FoKAL/EC goals for 2012/2013.

 

Information Literacy – No report

 

SUMMIT 2013 – June 6-7, General Butler SRP

Naulayne and members discussed the following Summit-related items of business as follows:

 

  • Agreed to have a Summit presentation on LibGuides by Margo---members were asked to think about times of presentation i.e. Thursday afternoon or Friday morning of Summit?  It was pointed out that if the LibGuides session was held on Thursday afternoon the guest librarians could attend.

 

  • Discussed Adam’s plan for breakout sessions based on the “Challenge-to-Action Plan” model as it would be applied to the topic of e-books and all aspects therein, e.g. collection policies, acquisitions, access, downloads, e-readers, etc.

 

  • Breakout groups, made up by guest librarians, would be charged to define/describe outcomes for success in the form of an actionable item.  Each breakout group’s list of actionable items would then go to directors/deans for reporting to the group at large and soliciting comments from the same.

 

  • Breakout sessions to be guided by the directors/deans?  Feeling among EC members was … as we get volunteers to plan the “Challenge” in advance, we should poll the volunteers about choosing their own challenge(s) as relate to e-books. 

 

  • Proposed a second round of breakouts by FoKAL affiliates to devise their own action plans e.g. sharing ideas generated from the breakouts with their institutions and libraries.

 

  • Naulayne agreed to come up with some more ideas on Challenge topics related to e-books by our February conference call meeting.

 

  • Members concurred with Naulayne that having Better World Book representatives on Friday morning of Summit to give a presentation on their services would be both, timely and helpful.

 

LIBRARY DISCOUNT NETWORK – Anne Abate (ca. 2:30 pm ET)

Anne reported the following:

 

  • Meghan Meberg of Better World Books has agreed to speak at the Summit.

 

  • Naulayne agreed to notify Meghan of her inclusion on the Summit agenda.

 

  • FoKAL will need an attorney to look over the 501-C-3 status application before its submission to the IRS.  Attorney’s costs will be about $500.

 

  • LDN is moving along with more vendor discounts.  Presently, we’re looking at more flexible deals with the bigger vendors before they begin to push back with higher prices.

 

  • Anne suggested that the FoKAL affiliates in SAALCK be further broken down for the Summit “Challenge” breakout sessions into separate groups for AIKCU and KCTCS.  Judith Riney pointed out that this could be done based on Summit registrations.  Anne will have the registration site ready by February.

 

  • Anne will be checking with the new chair of SAALCK to see if it did move its ExLibris Bluegrass Users Group (E-BUG) conference session on e-books back to June 14/15 so as not to conflict with the FoKAL Summit.

 

OTHER

  • Naulayne will begin piecing together a tentative agenda for the Summit after the New Year.

 

  • EC members agreed that it was time to revise FoKAL bylaws to let the office of “Chair” rotate through the three affiliates.  Otherwise, FoKAL members would perceive AIKCU as dominating the organization.

 

  • Naulayne will review the bylaws on this matter and report back to the EC in February.

 

ADJOURNMENT @ 2:40 pm ET

 

NEXT MEETING (by phone) on Feb. 6 @ 2 pm ET / 1 pm CT

 

Respectfully submitted by Matt Onion, Secretary on 1/31/13
