MELA Meeting Minutes 2018

traditional will start at the same time, and signed off on the overlap already. MELA will need to vote on calendar updates at March meeting.

6. Library Association Meeting – Krista LeBrun and Buffy Matthews attended. The MELO contract for the upcoming year is normally provided at this meeting. Price point was around 400k for the contract, and they do not want to lose services. Contracts with vendors are based annually, and it was requested by the MSVCC that they renegotiate to a different rate that was not as easily inflated. Should be able to review proposed contract by March meeting, vote, and have contract in place by July 1 st . Many of the services were surprisingly digital; Krista and Buffy spoke with vendors about facilitating training for use of the resources. Library Association is requesting changes with the Library Services survey; requested changes to be provided for a future meeting for approval.
