Executive Director's Report:
- Anne provided an overview of the budget.
- The SWON Libraries staff continues to explore the idea of an Open Source Symposium. Several speakers have been identified and contacted regarding their interest.
- The SAALCK website is technically ready to go. Carrie needs to select the template and more content will be laid into the site this summer.
- FoKAL preparation is complete. It is not too much of a drain on the staff, since each year builds on the one before.
Chair's Report:
- Carrie will continue to work with the SWON Libraries staff on the website until it is complete.
- The group asked Anne to check with Lyrasis for workshops that could be hosted in Kentucky.
FoKAL:

VLAC:
- Elsie reported that regular meetings are now scheduled. The SAALCK Collections Committee will stay attached to the discussions.
- KYVL considered looking at disaster planning as a project, but it may not fit their mission. The Strategic Planning Committee work will be allowed to conclude first.
Collections Committee:
- Mary Beth reported that Anne should cancel the SAALCK renewal with Proquest as that will now be handled by Lyrasis.
- All upcoming renewals should be sent to the Collections Committee for consideration and eventual transfer to Lyrasis.
WorldCat Local Trial:
