Library Process Discussion of April 17, 2000
In an effort to perhaps provide some framework for our discussion this evening,
I have put together a brief outline that you may wish to work from on Monday
evening. I am attaching the outline to this cover memo.
I take no pride in authorship and simply offer this outline as a place to begin our
discussions. I expect fully that there will be significant deletions or additions to
this framework at our meeting which will be attended by Betsy Chase, Melissa
Brechon, and perhaps other interested members of the library community.
Thank you.
