TO: Georgetown Library Board
FROM: John R. Duer, CTLS Lay Representative
RE: CTLS Membership Meeting: 2/26/93
Dear Board Members:
On February 26, 1993, the CTLS had a membership meeting at Waco
Public Library. The meeting was fairly well attended, and several
items of business were conducted.
1. Two people were elected to the Advisory Council. They
were: Adele Wilkin from Burnet; and Dr. Bob McConnell from Salado.
Both were elected by acclamation, with no other nominations from
the floor.
2. The CTLS Long Range Plan 1994-1999 was presented by Clara
Mounce of Bryan Public Library, and it was adopted by the Advisory
Council. The plan calls for a budget of $818,930 in fiscal 1994,
which represents only a $5,000 increase over the fiscal 1993
amount.
What the plan provides for is a shifting of funds from some
areas and their relocation to other areas. For example, although
the overall budget is only going up by $5,000, the budget for
consulting services is going up by $35,000.
And, of course, all of these figures are tentative, because no
one knows what the Legislature --in its INFINITE wisdom --is going to
appropriate.
I have attached a copy of the plan to this report, for your
perusal and comments.
3. Denise Carter from Groesbeck reported on the Strategic
Planning Task Force Reports and their implications for CTLS
members. Among other things, the reports call for a state-wide
library card system, and for all library directors in Texas to have
an MLS or some other "suitable" training or experience.
Several problems with these recommendations were discussed.
Concerns were voiced as to the availability of funds to pay a
librarian with an MLS, which would be very difficult for the small
libraries (especially those serving 10,000 and under), and there
were concerns about the vagueness of the details of implementation.
Also --and this was a major concern --several people had problems
with the lack of representation of small libraries on the Task
Force. Small libraries make up 680 of the libraries state wide, but
only made up 100 of the members of the Task Force.
The State is working with a timetable which provides for a
final report in summer of 1993, writing of appropriate legislation
beginning in summer/fall of 1994, and implementation of the plans
in 1995 when the Library Services Act, etc., come up for sunset
review.
To cope with this process, and "Swat Team" was formed from CTLS
members, to monitor the progress of the plan and to ensure that
CTLS members have significant input into the process. It is further
recommended that all Boards, lay reps, etc., read the reports, so
that we can make our ideas known on the issues that affect us.
4. Pamela Bonnell of Waco Public gave a short presentation
on Intellectual Freedom, and shared with us her policy on removing
books or materials from the shelves: if a court orders her to
remove it, she will comply. Otherwise, forget it.
5. Meeting adjourned, there being no new business from the
floor.
Respectfully submitted,
qohn R. Duer

PLAN OF SERVICE
FY 1994
SUMMARY
The Texas State Library has requested $818,931 from the Legislature for CTLS in FY 1994. If the
Legislature provides that amount, the FY 1994 Plan of Service will begin the program changes envisioned by
the members in the CTLS Long Range Planning process. In FY 1994 several programs will be realigned and
staff will be added to provide additional continuing education and consulting services.
ADMINISTRATION - $87,673
The administrative activities of the coordinator and support staff, including the 800 number and monthly
newsletter, will continue much as before.
AUTOMATION - $59,742
The union catalog, CaTaLySt, will be placed in at least 10 new sites during the fiscal year. Five new members
will add their holdings to the catalog during the year. The System will continue to maintain three
retrospective conversion units which enable member libraries to convert their holdings to machine readable
records. Support for Lateral Interlibrary Loans will continue. The financial incentive for direct borrowing
has been' dropped.
COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT-$377,071
Approximately 40510 of the grant will be used to buy library materials for member libraries. In addition to
books, members will now be able to purchase videos, CDs, audio tapes, and other formats, a departure from
long-standing policy. A business manager will be hired to oversee the increase in paperwork generated by the
ew purchasing options. The new Collection Development formula will be implemented.
ONSULTING - $136,322
The Collection Management Consultant and Children's Consultant will no longer have additional
responsibilities for the CD and Media programs; in FY 1994 they will devote full time to the Consulting and
Continuing Education programs. The Automation Consultant will continue to divide his time between the
Consulting, Continuing Education, and Automation programs.
CONTL't"LZNG EDUCATION - $34,618
This program will be significantly different from previous years. On -site workshops for small groups will be
provided on request by the Coordinator and consultants for 24 member libraries.
MEDIA - S84,018
A half-time Media Librarian will be added to supervise the Media program. The three -quarter -time Media
Assistant will become full-time, and the half-time Media Clerk's position will be eliminated. The System will
purchase approximately 200 new videos and 10 16mm films.
LITERACY - $16,107
The System will fund 3 or 4 projects in member libraries during the fiscal year.
PUBLIC RELATIONS - $7,189
This program will offer the same Level of service as in FY 1993. Promotional materials for member libraries
will be provided for National Library Week, Book Week, and the Summer Reading Program.
SERVICES TO THE ELDERLY - $16,190
The System will continue the Large Type Circuit and Deposit Collection program.
