I. Introductions and announcements:

There is a petition to hold ACRL in Columbus in 2008.

II. Re-organizing SSIG

• Should it be called Issues and concerns or Outreach and service committee. What does the change mean? Is it necessary?
  • To fulfill more of the goals
  • Have been no major rewrites since 1993
• PPC or steering committee
  • Does more than just plan programs

A motion was made by Doug to vote on new ALAO SSIG realignment proposal and as an addendum to proposal add :

• job descriptions compiled in 2002 and revised in 2005 by Gaynelle
• timeline compile by John Burke
• annual review of goals and objectives and other documents
• move awards from sec/chair elect to the past chair
• add draft numbers and dates to documents, when complete call them final with date

Becca seconded the motion and it passed.

III. Spring workshop

Where will it be held?

• Judy contacted the Columbus College of Art and Design by e-mail and received no answer.
• Doug contacted the Shisler Center at ATI. It is our best option at this time.

When will it be?
