Meeting was called to order by President McKinney followed by the correction and approval of the minutes of the March 16^th KCALL and the February 24^th KCALL Executive Board meetings.

Treasurer’s Report:

Chair Linda Roser reported that the Executive Budget is now approximately $44 over-budget for the year. 

Membership Directory changes were distributed.

Discussion of faxing/e-mailing meeting notices versus mailings were presented as money-saving alternatives.

Lunch expenses for program speakers were discussed with the amount of $30 per lunch being agreed upon. This amount will be allotted to Programs Chair Susan Duede.

Posting of the Membership Directory on the website was discussed with the possibility of it being converted to a Word document and being e-mailed as an attachment starting with the 2001 directory.

Programs:

Programs Chair Susan Duede informed the board that our speaker on May 18^th at Spencer Fane will be Vivian Jennings.  Her topic will concern the plight of small bookstores instead of the previously planned speaker on copyrights.  The August speaker will be Patricia Harris-O’Connor.  The October speaker will be Joyce Sikel.

Technology/Union List:

Chair Barbara Fullerton reported that John Pickett and Nancy Stancel continue to work on the KCALL website.  We are encouraged to continue to e-mail them with ideas concerning the website’s design.  We can also contact them in reference to it hosting the password protected Membership Directory as well as the Union List.

It was stated that library.com would charge $356 per year to post the Union List on their website.  KCALL would not retain ownership of the Union List and updates would need to be given to library.com.  The Union List would be presented in MARC format.  It could be updated up to 4 times a year; it was questioned as to what our editing rights would be.  The Union List would be updatable in ACCESS if it were to be on the KCALL website. There was a suggestion made that we pay a consultant to do the setup; thereafter we would maintain it ourselves.  It was proposed that we may link to the Union List off of our website. 

Jim Huesmann was suggested as a possible resource person for setting up our own Union List.  It was proposed that a meeting with him and Tranne Pearce, Joan Thomas, John Pickett, Nancy Stancel, and Barbara Fullerton be held prior to the end of May, before the arrival of summer associates.

The possible placement of the Membership Directory on the KCALL website was discussed.  It was proposed that information on the subject be sent out by e-mail and presented at a meeting.  Voting might be done by meeting and/or e-mail.  Greg McNown moved that KCALL mount the directory on kcall.org pending approval of the membership.  Announcement of the vote would be included in the next meeting notice.  Members could e-mail their concerns to President McKinney.

It was noted that KCALL is not listed in the current Missouri Legal Directory nor the Kansas Legal Directory; it was decided that the Secretary would see to our organization being included. 

New Business:

Greg McNown announced that he had sent membership forms to non-member representatives of LOIS law and GFS.

The need for an update on the Union List for the Executive Board in June or July was stated.

 No date was set for the next meeting of the KCALL Executive Board.

 Meeting adjourned.
