Conference call meeting

Members attending by teleconference:

Joanna Haney, Lewis and Clark College, Chair
Teresa Hazen, Mt. Hood Community College
Diane Carroll, Washington State University
Carrie Fry, Seattle Pacific University
Laurel Kristick, Oregon State University
Donna Packer, Western Washington University
Lee Keene, Whitman College
Greg Doyle, Alliance Staff

 

1. Start and end time of meeting

There was some email discussion about possibly changing the start/end time of the meeting. But it was decided to leave times as they are.

 

2. Digital Services Program Manager

Kyle Banerjee – only interviewee for position. He gave presentation and then met with search committee. Decision is not yet finalized but generally it looks like he will fill this position. Comments from those who attended his interview presentation were favorable. 

 

We should probably have him come to annual meeting to discuss his vision. – Probably as part of business meeting section.

 

3. Fill in the annual meeting agenda

Streaming Media: Carrie will introduce. Greg is working with Films on Demand rep; Theresa will talk to PCC person to see if they would be willing to give a more general picture of streaming

More interested in general possibilities than a specific product

 Network space issues

 Licensing issues

 How is it being used on campus?

Another option for streaming: Recorded Books working with myLibraryDV

 

Birds of a Feather Tables for Lunch:

 Lee will head the SUSHI table

 Greg will invite the person interested in business resources to facilitate at a table

 

Federated Searching: Laurel will facilitate the panel. Panel members will include

 Barbara Valentine from Linfield – Central Search

 Jeremy ? from OSU – Library Find

 Alex Merrill from WSU – MetaLib from Ex Libris

 Hoping to get someone from George Fox to talk about Metafind

 

Licensing Language: Diane will lead – what are others doing on their website. Good idea to pull together what some others are doing. This could even be an email survey project – maybe doesn’t need to be part of the meeting if space seem tight in the meeting

 

Ejournal Packages and impact on staff time – Donna will lead. Format will be a brainstorming session. Steering team feels that they need more background information and guidance about what directions we should take given the high interest on the survey.

It would be a good idea to have some questions in reserve, for example:

· How many people have merged print and e-resources into one department and how many keep them separate?

· For those that have ERMs and put in the up front work of loading the data – has it been worth the effort.

 

For the evening “happy hour” it was recommended that we go back to the same place as last year

 

Susie is still working on the location for the meeting – but will probably be the same place as last year.
