Past-Chair Cindy Muller opened the OHSLA business meeting at 9:40 a.m., in the absence of Chair Michael Hurley.

Minutes:

There were no minutes from the last meeting to approve.

Announcements:

Cindy Muller announced the new Board members: Rose Jackson, Treasurer and Madelyn Hall, Secretary.

Old Business:

President – Elect:

Cindy stated that no OHSLA member had come forth to volunteer for the President-Elect position, and she did not know what further action to take. Names of OHSLA members to contact were provided by the members present; Cindy will contact Andrew Hamilton from OHSU, and/or Beverly Schriver from Sacred Heart in Eugene, to see if either would be willing to accept the President-Elect position.

By-Laws:

Dolores Judkins and Melisssa Horner are working on these at present. The issue will be re-visited at the OHSLA Business meeting in July.

Support staff:

Meredith Solomon offered the assistance of the OHSLA Support staff during the October 2005 PNC/MLA meeting in Portland. The membership discussed using this group for help at the Registration Desk, hospitality, and stuffing envelopes and/or goodie bags. Ann von Segen, Co-Chair for the PNC/MLA meeting, acknowledged the group’s willingness to help, and will discuss it further with her committee.

Health Reference Triage Class:

Judith Hayes sent a report about the class: “Dolores Judkins and Patrice O’Donovan team taught a class in December at the coast to the Reference Roundtable (OLA)…Rick Severson of the Naturopathic College is working on the Alternative and Complementary Medicine module, because we have been asked to present this at a 2 hour class at Oregon Libraries Association on April 8 in Portland. I will be teaching and I would be really happy to have someone help me teach it. Bev Schriver and Melissa Horner are going to work on some evaluation elements to go with Rick’s work…I have a short list of 9-10 medical librarians from around the state that have indicated an interest in helping to teach…let me know if you want to join in.”

New Business:

Silver Falls:

Silver Falls will be held July 21^st-22^nd. Pat Wagner from Denver, will present “Time, Money and Project Management for Librarians.” The class will be offered to other library organizations (e.g., SLA, OLA), so Cindy and/or Michael will look into the possibility of getting a larger room to accommodate everyone comfortably.

Silver Falls personnel announced a very slight increase in lodging and food rates.

The date for OHSLA’s Silver Falls meeting in 2006 will be July 13-14, one week earlier

Stationery:

It was decided by the members present to use the new logo that was designed for OHSLA.

OHSLA sponsorship of free registration:

As Registration Chair for PNC/MLA October 2005 meeting, Rose Jackson asked if OHSLA members would be interested in sponsoring a free registration for a member of PNC. Ann von Segen suggested that the request first go to the PNC/MLA Planning Committee for approval, and OHSLA members agreed. Rose will suggest the idea at the 3.10.05 meeting.

Other new business:

Rose Jackson announced that OHSLA sent flowers to Karen Lippert, OHSU, in celebration of her new baby.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:05 a.m.
