1:00–4:30 p.m. | OCLC Research Library Partnership Briefing Given the general austerity measures being taken by most institutions, we've been experimenting with the notion of holding more frequent regional update sessions rather than less frequent international ones. These have typically been scheduled around other events where we expect at least some of our Partners will be gathering in hopes that our Partner staff are able to stretch their travel budgets a little further and sta informed about current activities and participation opportunities within the Partnership. As many staff as possible from our Partner institutions are welcome to attend these briefings. The agenda for this briefing meeting included updates on current work—including SHARES—plus ruminations and discussions on new and upcoming efforts. Agenda
Location: University of North Texas Systems Facility Room 421 The University of North Texas Systems Facility is located at 1901 Main Street, about midway between North Harwood and North St Paul Streets. (Main Street is the separation between North and South.) Contact: Nancy Elkington, Merrilee Proffitt or Dennis_Massie |
