Network Bulletin No. 00-32 Date: July 7, 2000 Subject: Staff, NLS Index term: Travel plan for FY2001 network requests for NLS staff visits NLS is now planning for travel for next fiscal year, October 1, 2000-September 30, 2001. If you would like an NLS staff member to visit your library for a specific purpose, please submit your request on the enclosed form, noting the date or month. We rely upon your input in our planning process. If at all possible, please avoid requesting visits for September and early October. These are difficult times for NLS staff to travel because of the fiscal year transition. Regular Network Services consultant visits to all regional libraries are made every two years as funds permit. Consultant visits can generally be scheduled in conjunction with local consumer, volunteer, or professional events; however, we need these dates well in advance. Generally, funds do not permit us to make consultant visits to subregional libraries. NLS representatives are also available for workshops and special events. These include consumer advisory committee meetings, Internet access overview for patrons, volunteer recognitions, machine-repair workshops, "Take a Talking Book" senior outreach campaign kickoff events, assistance with MLA inventory procedures, subregional library meetings, and open houses or dedications. We will consider other events. Please provide as much information as possible about the type of visit desired. Requests received after August 7, 2000, will be considered only as schedules and funds permit. Return the form with all pertinent data by email, by fax, or in the enclosed addressed envelope by August 7, 2000.
