Executive Board Meeting Minutes

Thursday, August 12, 1999
Change-Over Picnic, Nola Sterling’s House

Present: Vivienne Burke, Dawn Duddleson, Toni Emerson, Corey Murata and Nola Sterling. Alison Keyes submitted an apology for absence to Toni and Nola.

The meeting was called to order at 7:00.

This meeting was called to discuss two items put forward by Vivienne Burke, Lending Library Chair, concerning the Lending Library.

JOINT RESOURCE

It was proposed that SLA begin discussion with other special library professional organizations (LLOPS, MLA, ACRL, and ASIS) in the region to make our Lending Library a joint resource. This would involve talking to other organizations about matching funds on a per capita membership basis; pooling collections; and whether there would be a combined catalog housed on one organization’s web site with links from other sites. The motion was passed unanimously. We will look into money from SLA at a later board meeting.

WEEDING

It was proposed that Vivienne Burke should begin weeding outdated (pre-1990) material from the Lending Library collection. The motion was passed unanimously. Archival material concerning SLA will be turned over to Jean Pasche. Vivienne will compile a list of weeded material and post it on our web site.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:20.
