Ariel Expansion- KCVL will get an Ariel workstation. Further expansion to the Public Libraries will be postponed for now.
There is some extra one-time money that will be available since Ariel is not being expanded. There was discussion about what to use the money for. Upgrade hardware/software at the doc delivery sites? Buy a statewide license for CLIO? Tammie Clements will check on the cost for this through SOLINET.
Miko will email the SAALCK Interlibrary loan librarians and cc the library directors to see what they need and will tell them to get back to her within a week with their needs.
Ariel Training- Barb Hale and Jackie Kinder have planned Ariel Training workshops for October. The training outline and schedule were distributed and are also available on the KCVL web page behind About KCVL.

He has asked for Miko to call him and set up a meeting between the two of them to discuss further before he involves his National Account Manager in a presentation.
It was decided that we would like Miko to arrange for 5 vendors to come do presentations. They are-
