Members of the group introduced themselves.
Project charter
Sarah reviewed the project charter and goals.
Information gathering
Sarah stated that she and Janet will be responsible for the first stage of data gathering. They will utilize reports available through CarlX and CollectionHQ.
Brainstorming
The group shared ideas as to what type of materials they feel should be housed at the Collection Anywhere Center, and what type should be housed at libraries.
Janet, Pauline, Anne and Kellie discussed the umbrella license/contract from OCLC. The discussion mainly centered on which products MLS was currently subscribing to and how invoicing would be done since managers have budgeted for the different products in their respective budgets. Janet will ask Susan to follow up with the OCLC rep. and communicate any information to the managers.
ILLiad, aka ILL online, is now live! Library staff members were allowed to create personal accounts beginning on April 18; all members were allowed to create accounts beginning May 2. Currently there are around 120 personal online ILL accounts. Several ILL “power users” have already begun using the service.

Job Description, Director of Collections and Digital Strategies – Tim
Tim referenced the job descriptions that he had forwarded to the managers earlier. The Director of Collections and Digital Strategies position would replace the previous position of Deputy Executive Director, Materials and Outreach. The duties of the position would include supervision of the managers of Materials Selection, Cataloging & Interlibrary Loan, and Technical Processing. The duties of supervising Outreach have been moved to the public service side and will no longer be a part of this position’s responsibilities.
