Technology Services Management Group Meeting
Minutes
June
14 , 2005
Members
Present: Cathy Mook, Michele Crump, Martha Hruska, Erich Kesse, and Betsy Simpson
• A Joint CSUL & FCLA meeting is tentatively scheduled to be held in Gainesville, November 2005
2. Updates
• Budget status 0405 – Michele Crump, all
OCO - $9.85
DSR - $118,524.82 (goal is to carry forward $100,000)
OPS - just enough to finish out the fiscal year• Budget status 0506 – all
As of now it appears the budget allocation will be approximately the same as last year. It is not clear how much, if any DSR funds will be allocated to the Library.
Dale Canelas would like to try to move some portion of funds spent on OCLC, some supplies, postage, and shelf-ready materials to expense without taking the funds out of the materials budget. Dale has asked for additional funding and if received the above scenario would not be problematic. If additional funding is not provided approximately $250,000 will come out of salary savings. Therefore, positions that have been vacant for a lengthy time period should no longer be considered vacant as those lines will need to be taken.
In the last couple weeks $100,000,000 that has been being carried forward has been committed to buying Library West furniture.
• LAD move
Trying to figure if LAD materials could be moved into the Publix Annex when Law moves out. Lowes may possibly want the LAD space and would be willing buy out Library’s lease.
• Committees
John Ingram will be charging a Library East space planning committee.
Bill Covey will be charging a Disaster Plan Committee.
Erich Kesse will be charging a Digitized Collections Projects Advisory Committee.
