3. We discussed the Five Colleges Libraries' "Technical Services Consolidation Task Force Report" and the related November 2009 news article in American Libraries. Jim will ask Steve Folsom (who came to Cornell from the University of Massacusetts, Amherst) for some further background. We also talked a bit about the advisability of hiring a consultant for certain aspects of our work. Is this something we should bring up with the TSI Administrative Team? Or is the role for a consultant in conjunction with the Boaz's idea about a Culture Working Group? We will continue this discussion in a subsequent TSI Steering meeting.
