From dahlgreen_marykay at oslmac.osl.state.or.us Mon Mar 15 12:30:12 2010 From: dahlgreen_marykay at oslmac.osl.state.or.us (MaryKay Dahlgreen) Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:30:12 -0700 Subject: [AL-Directors] Action plan from Gale Message-ID: As I believe most of you know, the State Library hosted a meeting with Gale representatives and academic librarians in late January to discuss issues and problems with the Gale products that are now licensed for the libraries in Oregon by the State Library. Gale sent an action plan to us several weeks ago and last week sent a progress report on that action plan. I am attaching that document for you. I also wanted to let you know that at the last Statewide Database Licensing Committee meeting an ad hoc committee was formed to develop a list of journals the academic library community would like to see added to the Gale databases. Once that list is compiled we will give it to Gale and they will be working to add those titles. If there is someone else on your library staff who should have this information please feel free to forward it. And, please let me know if you have questions or concerns.

The purpose of the event is to allow practioners of virtual reference in Oregon and to bring great speakers to us so we don't always have to go to them. This year's Summit features keynote speaker Vanessa Fox whose book Marketing in the Age of Google will appear in libraries soon. www.oregonlibraries.net/summit Our event is hosted by L-net and everyone is welcome to participate. If you are thinking about reference, service and technology, this is the event for you. Participants will come away with practical knowledge for improving reference service, virtual or not. Registration is open at www.oregonlibraries.net/summit/2010/register and costs are affordable at $25 for staff at L-net partner libraries, L-net volunteers, L-net advisory board members and students; and $50 for everyone else. For those who are experiencing financial hardship, we are offering scholarships to cover the cost of registration. You may apply for scholarships when you register for the conference. If you are travelling far, we have a limited number of rooms reserved at Edgefield Manor for Thursday and Friday nights. Please note that room reservations for this block can only be made by calling Edgefield at: (503) 669-8610. Remember to do it soon or you'll miss the discounted rate! (Just for your information, most rooms at Edgefield do not have a private bathroom. There are several options outside of the rooms we have booked, so don't be afraid to ask the agent what is available.)
