Understanding the Strategic Framework

Submitted by larry.white on Thu, 10/28/2021 - 09:12

I want to help everyone understand the strategic framework and to learn more about the next steps in the process. I created a video to discuss the framework: what it is, why it is needed, how it will work, and the next steps in the process of implementing it.

News & Departmental Updates:

Experience Passes - Our Day at the Zoo Book Zoo vouchers have been replaced and are being disseminated to the libraries.
- Kim Terry was able to secure a verbal agreement with the Oklahoma History Center for another Experience Pass venue. Next steps will be to finalize the agreement and get information and images established for the passes so we can set an implementation date. Other venues are still being checked on to see if there is 1 more that we want to implement this year.

Morgan – Updating Strategic Plan for FY19

Morgan recently sent out an update to the strategic plan. In the interests of the Commission looking for measures to indicate we are meeting points on the plan, she would like 3-10 metrics that set the standards for departments or divisions. Once the metrics are determined, Morgan and Jennifer will work on a data collection plan to be ready to use January 1st.. Morgan would like the metrics to be sent in to her by the end of September and will send out an email with those expectations.

Defining Development

Submitted by heather.zeoli on Wed, 08/24/2016 - 12:14

The other day we had a question from a colleague about the difference between Development and Volunteer Services (DVS) and Organizational Development for Metro Library. How can we simply explain the difference? Development and Volunteer Services is about developing financial resources beyond tax dollars in order to help our libraries grow. We also develop relationships through volunteers and the community to support our libraries.

OCLC Combined Contract Discussion - All

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.
