News Release: Diversity Forum Brings Librarians Together: Comprehensive Community Outreach Programs Are Proposed (April 27, 2005)

2005 - 228
Attention OCLC ILL School Libraries: Remember to become a "non-supplier" of ILL for the summer months. OCLC has made it possible for you to make this change by yourself. Go to http://www.ltls.org/rs.html for further instructions.

2005 - 229
Watch for a new Illinois Handbook of State Government for 2005-2006 in your delivery soon. The Illinois State Library is sending them to each system for distribution in the next week or so.

2005 - 230
There is still time to register for "Empowering Library Staff to Meet the Technology Needs of Spanish Speakers" workshops. Learn how to build strong community partnerships and collaborate with the Spanish-speaking community to increase access to public computers and resources. Learn techniques for reaching out and marketing the public library and public computers to the Spanish-speaking community. Call the Illinois State Library Diversity Program for more information at 217-557-0136. To register, click CleO: Continuous Learning Opportunities at http://www.islcleo.org/.

2005 - 231
Deadline for Additional Bus to ALA Conference Exhibits Extended: The annual conference of the American Library Association, to be held in Chicago, June 25-28, has the oldest and largest vendor exhibit dedicated to the library market. This is a terrific opportunity to see the best and latest in products and services. There are still spaces available on the second bus. The cost of this event is $35 for non-CLaSS members and $25 for CLaSS members. Exhibit passes are included. To sign up for this bus trip, email ce@lincolntrail.info and indicate the event, the name of your institution, and the names of the people who want to attend. The deadline to sign up is Friday, May 27.

2005-232
The three Comprehensive Community Outreach meetings (formerly scheduled for May 26th at Lincoln Trail, May 31st in Arcola, and June 2nd in Watseka) have been postponed until July and August, 2005. This is a busy time of year, and it appears that rescheduling these important meetings will work out better for all concerned. We regret any inconvenience, and we look forward to helping to build more connections between libraries and diverse populations.

2005-233
Proposed revisions to the LTLS Interlibrary Loan Policy and Resource Access Policy will be submitted for approval at the LTLS Board meeting on May 23. The LTLS Planning/Policy Committee thanks the member libraries that submitted written comments. Final draft revisions for both policies and a summary of comments received are posted at http://ltnet.ltls.org/boardpackets/may2005/may2005bod.html under the report of the Planning/Policy Committee.
