She wants to get event flyers coordinated with other meeting notices and with Bayline to the extent possible. She got new computer this year, which has been a big help, and upgraded software which should turn her Pagemaker files into PDF so we can put Bayline on the website almost effortlessly. Distributing the production schedule, she pointed out that she's no Nazi about deadlines, and flyers can be sent direct to the printer for inclusion in the newsletter IF you alert her to tell the printer they're coming. Marlene reports that it hovers around the 600 mark, with no major trends apparent. Perhaps the most important feature of the Intranet is the administrative calendar, in PDF for printing and in HTML for editability.
Annual reports are also a helpful resource for incoming officers.
Soon to be added are the Bayline production schedule and a budget request form. Marlene invites Advisory Council members to Board meetings, Eris especially as reporter to the membership, and urges chairs to call on her as needed. The draft calendar and SLA Officer Acknowledgement forms were distributed. Budget requests due to Debbie Jan by July 21. This year, the workshop will be a halfday session, probably Tuesday, on a topics to be suggested.
