[Libs-Or] OLA's response to report on State Library Transformation Project

[Webster, Janet]

As most of you know, the State Library has been working with the Department of Administrative Services on transforming itself.  This comes as a directive of the Legislative.  At the end of October, Senator Elizabeth Steiner Hayward and Representative Nancy Nathanson (who are overseeing this process) issued a document with specific recommendations. MaryKay Dahlgreen shared this on Libs-Or in early November.  All of the key documents are on the State Library's web site: http://www.oregon.gov/osl/Pages/OregonStateLibraryTransformation.aspx

On November 13, OLA Preseident Penny Hummel alerted OLA members on what OLA was doing.  The response that was crafted by the OLA Leadership and the Library Development and Legislative Committee is available on the OLA web site.

The Library Development and Legislative Committee co-charied by Janet Webster and Abigail Elder met on November 18 and discussed the report and next steps with Sarah Miller, the DAS staff member who has been managing the transformation project.  Please contact Penny (phummel.ola at gmail.com<mailto:phummel.ola at gmail.com>), Janet (janet.webster at oregonstate.edu<mailto:janet.webster at oregonstate.edu>) or Abigail (aelder at beavertonoregon.gov<mailto:aelder at beavertonoregon.gov>) with questions, concerns and suggestions concerning the project.

We want to keep people informed and OLA's concerns appropriately communicated.
