Response to draft SAALCK Brochure
The group wanted some statistics (Anne should have access) to highlight the funds we have saved with group purchases, the scope of our purchases, the number of e-book titles we have purchased and so forth…ending with “we are meeting the needs of ? (find number) of students and faculty in the Commonwealth”. List KCTCS as one group, (listing all the schools took up too much space). Add our new focus on continuing education, the number of attendees at our sponsored workshops, etc.

Have name tags. Hannelore asked about their advisory committee – what is the status? How can we help them know our needs for future librarians?
