Conference Fun and New Year

As the hectic nature of the school year settles down and the holidays approach, I have some time to fill you in on the events of the past couple of months.

First:

A great time was had by all at the KLA conference in October. The attendance was decent and our joint session with the Resource Sharing Round Table was particularly well attended. Our business meeting for the LSSRT was held very early on Friday at 8:00am. So after some strong caffeine, and due to the low numbers that early in the morning, we held a joint meeting with the Resource Sharing Round Table which included our own LSSRT past Chair, Terri Brown. It was mutually acknowledged that with the condition of the present economy, attendance was a bit low, and participation statewide was very low on the staff level. Some alternative methods of meeting statewide were discussed but with the imminent change of chair positions, future plans seemed to fall as a footnote to the next person, if we can locate a new chair to take the reigns.

Second:

Which brings me to my most urgent message: Our round table is now without any officers! If anyone out there would like to serve, the new rotation began in October with the KLA meeting, but anyone can jump on this leadership bus at anytime and not lose a beat. Please consider serving in this vital role as staff are already under-represented as it is.....we need you!! Please contact me for further information:

It has been a great honor for me to serve as chair of this round table, and I intend to keep posting to the blog as new library issues arise, but would love to able to pass on the scepter as soon as possible!

Thanks!
