Edward Meachen (WILS), Associate Vice Chancellor, Information Services, University of Wisconsin-Parkside was elected as Delegate-at-Large to fill a vacancy on the 1996/97 Users Council Executive Committee. Cynthia Clark (OCLC Pacific) of the University of California-Irvine and John Harrison (AMIGOS) of the University of Arkansas were introduced as new Users Council delegates filling unexpired terms. 2. Brad Baker, Chair of the Ad Hoc Committee to Review Nominations and Elections Procedures reported that the committee has completed its deliberations and will submit its final report shortly. By adjusting the nominations timeline and making some changes in the meeting structure of the Nominating Committee, the Ad Hoc Committee believes that the process for electing OCLC Board of Trustees and Users Council Executive Committee members will be strengthened. If adopted, the list of some 20 recommendations will result in a limited number of changes in the Users Council Bylaws. 3. In her Executive Committee report, Victoria Hanawalt stated that the annual calculation of the Users Council Delegate Algorithm resulted in the number of delegates for FEDLINK changing from three to two and the WILS delegates increasing from one to two. The number of delegates for all other networks and service centers remained the same for 1997/98. The Executive Committee completed a thorough review of the Users Council Bylaws and forwarded four possible changes to the Bylaws Committee for its consideration. If these changes are recommended, they will be sent to delegates 30 days prior to the May meeting where the vote on changes would take place. Planning for the May meeting on "Model Partnerships: Information Producers, Libraries, and OCLC" has begun. New Users Council Assistant Jessica Smith was introduced to delegates. Action Summary Page 2 4. Delegates listened to Dr. K. Wayne Smith, OCLC President and Chief Executive Officer, report on the status of OCLC*s activities in its three priority areas of reference services and electronic publishing, enhancements to cataloging and resource sharing services, and international expansion. In addition, he spoke to delegates on the importance of strategic planning and the process for accomplishing it at OCLC. Donne Olvey, Vice President and Assistant to the President, gave an overview of OCLC*s draft strategic plan. Delegates met in small groups by type-of-library and service area to discuss the plan and to respond to questions prepared by the Executive Committee. 5. Betsy Wilson (OCLC Pacific) summarized the type-of-library and interest group discussions by noting that strategic planning at its best creates a culture of thinking (as well as planning and acting) strategically. Users Council recommendations included: - OCLC should continue to expand WorldCat with specific emphasis on enrichment. - Delegates reaffirm the direction of controlling library costs as a fundamental purpose. - Increasing global expansion and perspective is crucial for OCLC, but requires changes. - OCLC should focus on what it has always done best - cooperation and sharing. - Integrating core services is critical for seamless delivery and access for library users. - Libraries need OCLC to integrate its services with local systems. - Delegates encourage OCLC to develop integrated solutions via network consultancies. - OCLC must use and promote standards that facilitate integration and local customization. - OCLCs work was applauded and it was asked to encourage electronic archiving. - Delegates reaffirm OCLC*s emphasis on education/training & encourage a broader focus. 6. Dan Iddings (PALINET), Assistant Director at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, moderated a panel discussion on *Partnerships As a Means of Achieving Strategic Goals.* Participants included Dan Arbor, Vice President of Marketing/Serials Publishing at UMI; Dan Halloran, President of Academic Book Center; and Don Muccino, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at OCLC. Panelists noted that partnerships often enable organizations to accomplish better and quicker together that which they could not do alone. c: Board of Trustees Network Directors OCLC Executive Committee Users Council Alternates
