DRAFT AGENDA, Museum Library Division Business Meeting Sunday, April 28, 1996 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. I. Call to order II. Appointment of recorder III. Review of Past Year/Old Business 1.

Election of new moderator 2. Appointment of column editor 3. Program ideas for 1996 V. Discussion of the Strategic Plan [available in the March 1996 issue of update] VI. Other business I spoke with a number of people before the conference about possible programs. A list of ideas follows: -- Auction catalogs: print and electronic indexes; bibliographic control of catalogs; housing and management issues. Stephen Van Dyk (Cooper- Hewitt Museum) and Lee Robinson (New York Public Library) are working on a program on this topic -- Gifts and exchanges: collection development, cataloguing, administrative and management issues involved in gifts and exchanges. Cecilia Chin (National Museum of American Art) is interested in putting together a program -- Museum libraries as information centers: the key to survival for many museum libraries? Pro's and con's, nuts and bolts of promoting public access and community outreach, and moving beyond the library as a collection to the library as an information center. Ursula Klomstetter, [correction: Kolmstetter] (Indianapolis Museum of Art), suggested this topic, and is interested in working on a program -- "Service" in the museum library context: balancing the curatorial and administrative staff's idea of what constitutes service with the librarian's. Conflicts re: access to materials (open versus closed stacks; circulation policies), collection development (need to develop a balanced collection versus requests to buy everything), bibliographic control/standards issues ("why don't the librarians update the cards whenever somebody dies anymore?") -- Tapping non-library-oriented listservs and other electronic sources for management information. Any and all other suggestions are welcome. See you in Miami. Elizabeth O'Keefe Pierpont Morgan Library (212) 685-0008 [log in to unmask]
