JA Agreements

In September, an agreement between each member library and the MVLS/SALS Joint Automation Project will be mailed to each Board President. The agreement updates the information libraries received when they went online. The purpose of the agreement is to clarify the responsibilities of each library and the Joint Automation Project. It also provides an explanation of how the project works. All libraries in MVLS and SALS will receive the same document. We’re asking for Board approval of the agreement. Return two signed copies to Sara by November 30, 2006. Please contact Sara if you have any questions or concerns. Feel free to leave a comment.
