  Anne distributed the Financial Report for September. Anne continues to work with JSTOR to set up a visit and presentation.They have asked to delay the presentation until 2008. Anne provided some statistics on the SAALCK website.The SAALCK site gets about 5% of the traffic that the SWON Libraries site receives.The most popular pages on the site are http://www.saalck.org/council/ and http://www.saalck.org/members/ and they are only being hit a few dozen times per month.Almost all of the traffic on the site is coming from search engines or people going straight to http://www.saalck.org.There are almost zero sites on the web linking to the SAALCK site.Not even the KY academics seem to be linking to the SAALCK site. Anne suggested that SAALCK think more about what they actually want from the website.There may be some other solution that would better meet the needs, such as a blog or a wiki. Anne will send examples of other blog based sites.

The program on Institutional Repositories available from LITA will probably not work as a pre-conference to KLA due to its cost.Anne is now investigating holding it as an event at the KHECC Conference.KHECC has not set their date yet, so we are waiting for that to happen before moving forward.Anne will ask if the LITA speaker can also do a shorter presentation at KHECC. NetLibrary now has most of the final paperwork.There should be little standing in the way of bringing the files online in early April.

  ...
