Minutes
Present:
Michael Binder, Larry Besant, Martha Bowman, Coy Harmon, Don Lyons, Paul Willis, June Martin (rep. E.E. Weyhrauch) and Lois Schultz (rep. Mary Lou Rutledge).
Guest:
Sherrill Redmon
With the absence of the chair, Martha Bowman guided the meeting. Discussion centered around the following items:
CHE – The group felt that each director needed to identify the official institutional representative to the CHE, and attempt to educate that individual about libraries and their needs. It was also agreed that networking was necessary as an effort to compare requests/message from the CHE to insure that all institutions were providing the same types of information. Brief discussion then focused on the need for standardized statistics, and mention was made of an earlier report from a SAALCK Subcommittee whose task had been to establish statistical uniformity.
Brochure – Sherrill Redmon presented a draft of the special collections brochure, adding that she had had good response/cooperation from the representative of each institution. She asked that each director look at (1) the general, overall appearance of the brochure, (2) the write-up for their individual institution, and (3) the “tips” section. Any input/corrections should be directed to her by May 1st. Sherrill also planned to contact each individual representative for clarification on details, additional information, etc. Approximate costs for the project were also presented; this included a two-color printing on slick, professional-quality paper stock. The estimates were for: 5,000 - $900, 10,000 - $1,200; 30,000 - $1,800.
Arrangements were then made for Sherrill to construct a final mockup (after corrections were made, etc.); this was then to be shared with the directors prior to the brochure being sent to the printers.
The directors, as a group, complimented Sherrill on the excellent job which she and her committee have done.
Additional business – with the absence of the chair and the scarcity of time, it was decided that no further business could be addressed at this session. It was recommended, however, that the chair call another director's meeting before the fall KLA conference. Mid-June was the time period preferred by the group; and the suggestion was made that a “calendar of availability” be sent to all directors so that an appropriate date for the future meeting could be determined.
Meeting adjourned at 5:15 p.m.
