Library User Training Fred Hurst briefed the group on the visit to the USF Library and the implementation group for the Reference and Referral Center. USF has agreed to house the Library User Training module of the project and will develop a proposal outline as soon as possible. USF will be forwarding a draft Memorandum of Understanding to Hurst and Madaus for final review prior to the release of funds. The Steering Committee will review the Memorandum as part of its final acceptance process. Document Delivery Carol Turner reported for the Document Delivery working group.
Work continues on both the electronic prototype and the ground-based courier plans.
Another all day meeting is scheduled in Gainesville on Oct. 23. The goal is to have prototypes functional in January. Borrowing Privileges Madaus reported on his meeting with Linda Rackleff and Denise Potvin on this part of the Distance Learning Library Initiative. They will work on this issue within the BOR and SBCC processes, once the library community is unified in its approach. It was decided that a working group from the Steering Committee should continue to work on this issue to insure its continued priority.
