Committee
Planning
DALNET will be forming committees to begin
planning for migration to a new shared system. One committee will be
charged
with organizing groups to help define the future system needs of the
various areas to be supported by the new system. Another
group
will be examining current expenditures and aligning them with
anticipated plans for future spending. Both committees will
have
access to information recently gathered from members via an online
survey about current member investments. Please consider if
you
may be interested in serving on one of these groups or on a sub-committee. We are hoping that all the various sizes
and
types of DALNET libraries will be well represented. More
information and formal charges coming this fall.
New Member Website Access
The DALNET member website logins and passwords will be changing this
month. Members will receive the updated information via
e-mail.
Good Luck Daria!
