LMDC visibility is higher outside the system than within - need to harvest role of libraries to other areas - hammering at issues

Work from bottom up - faculty up

Marketing

Get the library message outside ourselves

Frustration at being taken for granted

Turn over of VP of Instruction has had negative effects

Only hook to exploit is technology

Accreditation helps focus on libraries

Do we need to exist? – yes, continuing education

Need to focus on fewer things to accomplish

Turnover in Instruction Commission—need to re-educate

Communicate our purpose upwards and sideways

We may be more effective and visible than we think

Thematic years reflected in Strategic Plan

Marketing

Not hooked into 4 year college funding

Need fewer goals

Better communication within LMDC - monthly reminders maybe

Talking from the same page. Meeting.

Statewide information literacy
