On Friday, Aug. 3, from Noon to 4 p.m., the Libraries Planning Retreat (Post R2 Follow-up) will take place in Waterman's Memorial Lounge instead of the Staff Lounge. Also new, a sandwich buffet lunch and cold beverages, as well as hot coffee and tea, will be served.

The facilitators' summaries at the end of the retreat brought up some confusion about two topics: the idea of a Discovery and Delivery Council's and its role, and whether making changes to the OPAC would really be labor-intensive. Could we have a couple of forums or presentations about these topics?
It sounded like one of the tables (Angie's, was it?) had a very productive conversation about the Discovery and Delivery Council, which would be great to hear more about.
In her presentation last month at the VLA College & Special Libraries meeting, Winona mentioned an open-source program called vuFind that works with Voyager-- perhaps she could lead or contribute to that discussion.
I'd love to contribute to a discussion about alternatives to the current catalog display, pro's, con's and some real life examples. I also am really intrigued by the Discovery and Delivery Council, and think it is an idea with a lot of merit.
I've made some notes about my thoughts on the retreat on my blog
I really enjoyed the retreat. Talking to so many folks really got me thinking about a lot of things. So, following Toni and Winona's lead, I posted some (very long-winded)thoughts to my blog as well.
