Meeting Notes

Stahl, Judy Dyki, Peggy Keeran (Chair)

The Technology Education Committee reviewed their assigned strategic
planning action items, proposed projects to address these action
items, discussed establishing a more formal relationship between the
committee and Technology Relations Committee, and brainstormed about
possible programs we could sponsor in Vancouver.

Last year, the Board directed our committee to discover which local
and national ARLIS members remained unconnected to the Internet, and
to find ways to provide them with access.  Our first order of
business was to draft a letter to chapter officers seeking names of
non-connected members as well as local internet providers who could
be approached for donated internet access.  Tech Ed members submitted
a draft of the letter to the Board for approval.  If approved, we
will send out to chapter officers.

We also discussed such issues as:  surveying the membership to
determine which systems are being used to access and manage
collections; creating a web site to respond to technology questions,
evaluate products, and information about vendors; and possible
programs for the ARLIS meeting in 1999.
