There was discussion by the committee on how to disseminate information to libraries about the OCLC governing member criteria in the LTLS membership policy. A variety of points were discussed, including benefits, cost, explanations of the services, and others.

In other business, the committee also discussed possible changes to the existing LTLS Affiliate Agency policy. This policy was approved in 1993 and is outdated. A draft of possible changes will be considered at the next LTLS Membership meeting.

The meeting adjourned at 8:45 pm.
