3.1. Communication of KCVL Services: ** "What's New" page will be incorporated into the kcvl.org behind "About KCVL" bar. ** 3 listservs have been set up: one for reference, one for document delivery, and one for systems.
3.2. Databases: We started negotiating with the top-ranked vendor. Both the independents and the schools are in by bringing $ into the pot. There is a premier academic database that we would like to have, but the price is beyond what we can afford with our $. Miko would like for libraries to consider bringing more $ to the pot to get this database.
3.3. KCVL Roll Out: Lee described some of the publicities the Alabama Virtual Library did to get their funding. Miko reported that some publicity activities might occur in September. These are preliminary and the Marketing Subcommittee will be involved in it. It was proposed and passed that KLN explore soliciting corporations giving to support KCVL.
