§ SAALCK Directors' Meeting
September 19, 1997 1:00 - 3:30 p.m.
University of Louisville Library
- Present:
- Larry Besant, Mike Binder, Fran Davis, Coy Harmon, Karen McDaniel, Miko Pattie (for Paul Willis), Hannelore Rader, Marian Winner (Chair)
- Absent:
- Marcia Myers
- Announcement:
- It was announced that both Larry and Marian will be making a presentation on the SAALCK Digital Library Project at the KHECC meeting at Western KY Univ. on Oct. 9. All directors are encouraged to attend.
- Jim Nelson's Report:
- Jim asked to be included in our agenda to report on what he needs to do in next 2 weeks. Based on the meeting Jim had with Crit Luallen (Secretary of the Cabinet) and Jim Ramsey (Budget Director) on Tuesday, the Governor would like to have a comprehensive plan for a statewide digital library. With the budget vehicle unknown (pieces might go to Council on Postsecondary Education or individual institutions), Jim asked directors to give him info needed to support such a plan. There will be a meeting on Wed., 9/24, 8:30 - 10:30 at KDLA to start working on this. Marian and Larry will join Doug Robinson, Steve Dooley, Sue Moore (CPE), Paul Willis, Miko Pattie and Charlene Davis for this meeting. The directors were concerned that our Project might be subsumed or co-opted by a greatly expanded infrastructure and that our link to the Virtual University might be affected. Jim assured us that our Project is essential and will serve as an important piece in this plan.
- NHPRC Grant Proposal:
- Miko, representing Marcia, asked the members to approve the proposed advisory and steering committees for the Digital Kentuckiana Project to work on a National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) grant. This was unanimously approved. Marcia will take the lead in getting the proposal together by Dec. 15.
- FirstSearch Subgroup Databases:
- Miko presented the final copy of the allocated costs for the three FirstSearch subgroup databases: BIP, MLA and CINAHL. All directors agreed to go with all 3 databases for 10/97 to 9/98. Miko proposed to send a request to KLN for SAALCK to take a more active role in setting the pricing for base package next year. Miko will draft this and send to Marian.
- Thanks for Paul Willis:
- Marian asked the directors how they can thank Paul for assigning Miko to work on SAALCK projects for the past year and half. Marian received enthusiastic support for the proposal that she write an official thank-you letter to Paul.
- Wednesday's Meeting:
- The directors firmly believed that our virtual library and the virtual university are one piece and should not be separated. It was suggested for Marian to invite Ruth Greenburg of CPE to attend Wed.'s meeting as we have already established the contact with her. All recognized the importance of coordination statewide, but separate and coordinated approach might be best at this time.
- Next SAALCK Directors Meeting:
- It will be at KLA fall conference in Lexington on Oct. 31, Friday, at 8:30 a.m.
- Information Literacy Work Group:
- It was approved that each director submit a name and community colleges submit 2 names to Marian by next meeting to form the work group so it could start working on a coordinated plan to deliver information literacy whether our project is funded or not.
