13.4.18 Final Narrative: Provide While MISP funds may be and were used to enhance what
a brief narrative, no more we can do for the hospital members via HLSP(which
than five hundred (500) filters back to all residents), MISP is primarily used to
words, describing the benefit all SCRLC members with regard to health and
major activities carried out medicine. 90% of MISP funds were used for
with these State Aid health/medical electronic resources including Consumer
Funds. Health Complete ($25,611), which is available to all full
(governing) SCRLC members; and $4,223 fo the hospitals'
New England Journal of Medicine subscription. 10% of
the funds were used to support staffing for the program.
Beyond $44, funds were not used for interlibrary loan this
past year. SCRLC staff continued to work with the
hospitals that use EFTS to find free, quick suppliers, which
has reduced the need to use MISP for interlibrary loan.
Other contributing factors were the pandemic and the
migration to a new EFTS provider (the Medical Library

14. Summary of Library System Accomplishments
Library System Accomplishments
Using the goals from Section 4 in the approved 2016-2021 System Plan of Service, BRIEFLY
describe the final results of each element for Year 4 (2019-2020).
14.1 Element 1: Resource """"""""""""""""GOAL: COOPERATIVE COLLECTION
Sharing - Results DEVELOPMENT. FACILITATE THE CCDA PROGRAM
FOR ACADEMIC LIBRARIES PROGRAM TO
ENHANCE ACADEMIC LIBRARY COLLECTIONS,
INCREASING THEIR COLLECTIVE BUYING POWER
AND STRENGTHENING REGIONAL RESOURCES
AVAILABLE TO NYS STUDENTS, EDUCATORS,
RESEARCHERS, AND RESIDENTS. OBJECTIVE:
ASSIST LIBRARIES IN COMPLETING THEIR
FORMS. RESULTS: SCRLC staff assisted CCDA
libraries, answering several questions. A problem with old
FTE figures appearing on the CCDA applications was
discovered, despite institutions updating their figures with
SED Higher Ed. (Note: as of 8/2019, the problem
remained, which led to some libraries having to do waivers
for maintenance of effort. We do not yet know if this issue
continues.) OBJECTIVE: REVIEW AND COMPLETE
THEIR APPLICATION. RESULTS: SCRLC staff worked
with academic members to ensure their applications were
submitted accurately and on time. There were no major
issues this past year, but one of our academics was deemed
defunct and could not submit an application. They
continued to be in business and this was never resolved.
We also continued to retain copies of each form in case
they are needed. OBJECTIVE: MAINTAIN ONGOING
RECORDS FOR THE PROGRAM AND PUBLISH ON
SCRLC'S WEBSITE. RESULTS: SCRLC staff updated
the comprehensive listing of funds received and subjects
collected. A total of $176,962 in CCDA funds was
distributed among 23 academic library applicants. Four
libraries modified their subject areas, resulting in 5 new
ones.; two were discontinued. The subjects are located
here:https://scrlc.org/data/CCDA_Subject_2019-2020.pdf.
The award amounts are located here: https://scrlc.org
/data/CCDA-Award_Stats_2019-2020.pdf. OBJECTIVE:
ENCOURAGE CCDA RECIPIENTS TO USE THE
DISCUSSION LIST TO NETWORK AND
COMMUNICATE CHANGES IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL
COLLECTION AREAS. RESULTS: The CCDA
discussion list continued to be updated to include new
71 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
individuals working with CCDA. Communication within

the group was minimal; SCRLC's staff used it for
occasional communications with the CCDA members.
OBJECTIVE: HOLD A MINIMUM OF TWO
COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT-RELATED
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE FIVE-
YEAR PLAN OF SERVICE. RESULTS: During the past
fiscal year, SCRLC hosted several collection development-
related learning opportunities. In May, there were two
webinars on "Rediscovering the Power of Your FirstSearch
/ WorldCat Discovery Subscriptions" (one for publics and
one for academics). In June, "Project Outcome for
Academic Libraries: Data for Impact and Improvement"
taught attendees how to use surveys and other tools to
assess patron satisfaction with digital and special
collections among other areas. GOAL: CATALOGING
SERVICES. ENSURE NYS STUDENTS, EDUCATORS,
LIFELONG LEARNERS, AND RESIDENTS
EFFICIENTLY DISCOVER MATERIALS HELD BY
SCRLC LIBRARIES. EXPLORE REGIONAL AND
STATEWIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE ACCESS
TO MATERIALS FOR THESE GROUPS. OBJECTIVE:
OFFER CONTINUING EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
ON RDA AND OTHER CATALOGING TOPICS.
RESULTS: The Digital Services Librarian provided one
cataloging training session for a historical society member.
Additionally, a MarcEdit workshop to learn more about
tools for batch record processing was planned for July.
GOAL: BE A POINT OF CONTACT FOR HELP WITH
CHALLENGING CATALOGING ITEMS. RESULTS:
The Digital Services Librarian consulted with one
historical society as a point of contact for challenging
classification items. GOAL: DELIVERY. SUPPORT THE
EFFICIENT AND FAST DELIVERY OF
INTERLIBRARY LOAN MATERIALS AMONG SCRLC
MEMBERS TO BENEFIT NYS STUDENTS,
EDUCATORS, LIFELONG LEARNERS, AND
RESIDENTS. OBJECTIVE: CREATE GUIDELINES
FOR A RESOURCE SHARING SUBSIDY TO BE
DISTRIBUTED AS POSSIBLE. RESULTS: Last year we
had indicated that it was unlikely that SCRLC would be
able to continue to fund resource sharing subsidies due to
funding levels, and unfortunately that came to pass, after
having awarded resource sharing subsidies for three years
in a row. ESLN's Empire Library Delivery service
remained unaffordable for additional SCRLC
libraries/systems to join. GOAL: INTERLIBRARY
LOAN: ENABLE LIBRARY USERS TO EFFICIENTLY
AND QUICKLY OBTAIN MATERIAL NOT
AVAILABLE IN THEIR LOCAL LIBRARIES.
OBJECTIVE: THROUGH TRAINING AND
72 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
CONSULTING, ASSIST LIBRARIES IN THE

MIGRATION TO OCLC WORLDSHARE, ILLIAD, AND
ANY OTHER CHANGES IN INTERLIBRARY LOAN
WORKFLOWS. RESULTS: SCRLC has continued to
monitor OCLC's TIPASA ILL cloud product and will offer
a session about it during the upcoming 2020 Resource
Sharing Special Interest Group workshop. SCRLC
launched the South Central Onsite Reciprocal Access
(SCORA) program to member libraries in January of 2020.
See https://scrlc.org/Resource-Sharing for more
information. Prior to the COVID-19 shut-down, 3 libraries
had enrolled in the program. It is currently suspended due
to libraries continuing to have limited service. We hope to
expand the program in 2021. OCLC FirstSearch was
provided for member libraries and library systems.
OCLC's WorldCat remained the de facto union catalog for
most regional ILL among members. OBJECTIVE:
UPDATE THE RESOURCE SHARING AREA OF THE
WEBSITE. RESULTS: The LibGuide for Resource
Sharing was continually updated for new content,
including a page on COVID-19 to assist members during
the pandemic. https://scrlc.libguides.com/ResourceSharing.
Relevant portions of the website were also updated.
OBJECTIVE: PROMOTE AND MONITOR
BIBLIOGRAPHIC AND REFERRAL CENTER (BARC)
USE. RESULTS: SCRLC continued to outsource its
interlibrary loan clearinghouse, the Bibliographic &
Referral Center (BARC), to Tompkins-Cortland
Community College. Due to the pandemic, the service had
to shut down in March. As of this writing, it is not in
operation and it has not been possible to obtain statistics
remotely from ILLiad. Before the shutdown, two public
library systems, two school library systems, and several
individual members (primarily specials) used BARC. In
the first half of the year, use of the service was up by 301
requests, representing a 38% increase (807 in July-Dec
2018; 1,128 in July-Dec 2019). In that BARC is a referral
center, it does not lend material; instead, it refers requests
to regional libraries and beyond, though TC3 will try to fill
within its own collection first. BARC is funded January-
December, which had been the RBDB FY. Now that the
FY has shifted, we are paying 18 months of expenses out
of a 12-month program. We have worked with TC3 to shift
payment to next July. OBJECTIVE: REVISE THE
GUIDELINES FOR USING BARC. RESULTS: They
were revised and approved by the Board for
implementation on July 1, 2017 and updated in 2018.
OBJECTIVE: HOLD A RESOURCE SHARING
SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP EVENT. RESULTS: The
Resource Sharing Special Interest Group event "ILL Goes
to the Moon and Back" (in celebration of the 50th
73 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
anniversary of the moon landing) was held in conjunction

with CLRC on September 24, 2019 in Cortland. The day
offered presentations from NNLM/DOCLINE, OCLC's
Discovery & FirstSearch, as well as a preview of ILLiad
9.1; "A Day in the Life of Tracy Grimm", Barron Hilton's
Archivist for Flight and Space Exploration, Purdue
University (featuring their Neil Armstrong collection); and
"Constant Change is the New Workflow: Understanding
Change to Create Calm." DIGITAL COLLECTIONS
ACCESS. GOAL: INVESTIGATE THE NEED FOR AND
FEASIBILITY OF BUILDING OR SHARING A
REGIONAL OR MULTI-REGIONAL DIGITAL
REPOSITORY THAT WOULD ADDRESS REGIONAL
PRESERVATION NEEDS AND WOULD INCLUDE
ORIGINAL RESEARCH, NON-PRINT REGIONALLY
PRODUCED WORK, UNIQUE WORKS, DATASETS,
PUBLICATIONS, AND OTHER TYPES OF BORN
DIGITAL AND DIGITIZED OBJECTS. OBJECTIVE:
EXPLORE REGIONAL DIGITAL PRESERVATION
NEEDS AND POTENTIAL SERVICES. RESULTS: The
Digitization Advisory Committee developed and
distributed an extensive survey about digital preservation
needs in our region. The 22 results represented a wide
range of digital preservation needs. We piloted the Digital
Dark Archive Service, a project of the Southeastern New
York Library Resources Council (SENYLRC), which is
based on Archivematica and Amazon S3. We expect to
offer it for free up to 5 GB for our New York Heritage
participants; SCRLC members wanting to use outside of
NYH will also be able to participate at cost. GOAL:
MEDICAL INFORMATION SERVICES PROGRAM
(MISP): DISTRIBUTE MISP PROGRAM FUNDS TO
IMPROVE ACCESS TO MEDICAL AND HEALTH
INFORMATION. OBJECTIVE: MONITOR
ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFER SERVICE (ETFS)
ACTIVITY, WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR FREQUENT
USERS OF NN/LM RESOURCE LIBRARIES.
RESULTS: The University of Connecticut Health Center
announced this year they would no longer manage the
Electronic Fund Transfer Service (EFTS). The Medical
Library Association (MLA) agreed to take over
responsibility for it. SCRLC's outreach services librarian
and fiscal services manager assisted our EFTS members in
moving their accounts to the new MLA platform. Due to
this changeover and the pandemic, interlibrary loan use fell
dramatically and additional funds were not distributed.this
past year. Additional factors may be the continuing
evaluation of and assistance with the DOCLINE routing
tables resulting in using more free locations listed first;
and, the availability of electronic resources. OBJECTIVE:
FUND RELEVANT HEALTH-RELATED ELECTRONIC
74 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
RESOURCES, AS FEASIBLE. RESULTS: MISP funds

continued to support EBSCO's Consumer Health
Complete, including Spanish, Vietnamese, and Mandarin
language material. The TDNet for hospitals was dropped
for 2019-2020 due to lack of use. """"""""""""""""
14.2 Element 2: Special Client """""""""""""GOAL: SERVE THE INFORMATION

Groups - Results NEEDS OF REGIONAL HEALTH CARE
PROFESSIONALS THROUGH THE PROVISION OF
HEALTH AND MEDICAL INFORMATION
RESOURCES AND SERVICES TO THEIR LIBRARIES.
The Hospital Library Services Program continued to
support the improvement of patient outcomes through the
provision of medical and health-related information and
materials. OBJECTIVE: CHECK IN WITH THE
HOSPITAL MEMBERS AT LEAST TWICE PER YEAR,
INCLUDING VISITING EACH MEMBER MINIMALLY
BIENNIALLY. RESULTS: Prior to the statewide shutdown
in March, the outreach services librarian visited half the
member hospitals. She checked in with others via phone
and Zoom. After the shutdown, many hospital librarians
and liaisons were either reassigned temporarily to other
crucial duties or were furloughed. The outreach services
librarian also assisted with an instruction session on
eResources with the liaison at Cayuga Medical Center for
new residents in February 2020. One member was lost this
past year (Delaware Valley) and a three-hospital system
(Arnot Ogden Medical Center and affiliates Davenport and
St Joseph's) are due to leave in 2019-2020. Although they
paid their membership dues for 2019-2020, they declined
grant money and participation in the OVID journal cost-
share package because they are now affiliated with
LECOM (Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine).
Unfortunately LECOM's service does not extend to nurses
on the floor or to physicians unaffiliated with LECOM.
Phone conversations with the executive director and
outreach services librarian, letters, statistics, and the
"Value" study did not change their mind. After their
degreed medical librarian retired, they simply saw this as a
way to save money. The HLSP Advisory Committee
developed and sent out a needs-assessment survey for our
member hospitals' administrators/physicians/nurses
/residents/staff to better understand how library services
are perceived and how to improve them. The survey
garnered extensive results from 2 institutions (Lourdes
Hospital and Cayuga Medical Center). This data reinforced
the need for a marketing plan. The surveys showed that
most who utilized the library and/or library resources
found them extremely helpful; however, other responses
indicate a lack of understanding about the availability of
75 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
library services. Suggestions were offered for improving

communication with the hospital sector. The outreach
services librarian, with assistance from the HLSP Advisory
Committee, will use the results to create an effective
marketing plan for all remaining hospitals. OBJECTIVE:
SUPPORT MEDICAL/HEALTH-RELATED
ELECTRONIC RESOURCES, AS FUNDING PERMITS.
RESULTS: The New England Journal of Medicine was
funded for 16 of 17 hospitals (Guthrie in PA is excluded
from this arrangement). OVID electronic resource
subscriptions were provided on a cost-sharing basis (35%
SCRLC; 65% for hospitals) for four hospital libraries:
Bassett, Cayuga, Lourdes, and UHS. STAT!Ref was
provided to 11 hospitals -- Auburn, Bassett, Cayuga,
Chenango, Davenport, Jones, O'Connor, Schuyler, St.
James, St. Joseph's, and UHS/Wilson. All 16 hospitals had
access to EBSCO's Consumer Health Complete database,
which is funded under the auspices of MISP funds.
OBJECTIVE: OFFER GRANTS TO HOSPITAL
LIBRARIES TO SUPPORT COLLECTIONS,
HARDWARE, AND CIRCUIT INFORMATION
SERVICES AS FUNDING PERMITS. RESULTS:
Individual grants enabled 13 hospitals to purchase print
and online resources. For the 13 hospitals that received
grants, over 80% of the funds were spent on books and
journals; Hardware & Software as well as Circuit Services
were the categories where the remaining funds were used
this year. 11 hospitals spent a total of $9,340 on various
library materials, including books and journals (83% of
grant funds); two (one split their funds between categories)
hospitals spent a total of $1,278 on hardware and software
(11% of grant funds); and one spent $625 on circuit service
(6% of grant funds). The total HLSP funds spent on grants
was $11,243. OBJECTIVE: OFFER AT LEAST ONE
CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM EACH YEAR;
SEEK INNOVATIVE WAYS TO OFFER
INDIVIDUALIZED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES.
RESULTS: We purchased an MLA webinar, "Serving
Patrons with Disabilities" which was offered through a
"Lunch and Learn" viewing to members in May of 2020.
OBJECTIVE: UPDATE THE HLSP LIBGUIDE AND
THE SCRLC HLSP WEBSITE SECTION. RESULTS:
The HLSP LibGuide was continually updated as
information and needs changed. A page for COVID-19
resources was added this March,
https://scrlc.libguides.com/HLSP. Relevant sections of the
website were also updated. OBJECTIVE: SERVE AS A
BACKUP SEARCHER FOR HOSPITALS WITHOUT A
LIAISON. RESULTS: The outreach services librarian
provided 15 information searches for hospital staff. She
and the executive director staffed an information table at
76 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
the regional Tompkins County Workplace Wellness

Summit on January 21, 2020 to promote Consumer Health
Complete and NLM resources. OBJECTIVE: NETWORK
WITH OTHER REGIONAL HLSP COORDINATORS TO
BRAINSTORM SERVICES AND EXPLORE
OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE THE IMPACT OF
SCRLC'S HLSP PROGRAM. RESULTS: The outreach
services librarian met monthly via Zoom with the other
regional HLSP Council coordinators in an effort to
strengthen our efforts to assist our members. We worked
together to identify ways to cost-share resources and
offer/share continuing education webinars and events. We
met in person in September 2019 during the ESLN retreat.
"""""""""""""
14.3 Element 3: Professional """"""""""""GOAL: PROVIDE 14.3 HIGH QUALITY

Development and AND RELEVANT LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES,
Continuing Education - BOTH FACE-TO-FACE AND ELECTRONICALLY, TO
Results MEET THE CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS OF
REGIONAL LIBRARY WORKERS. OBJECTIVE:
ANNUALLY ASSESS LEARNING NEEDS (MULTIPLE
PATHWAYS). RESULTS: Until early March, we were able
to host and/or facilitate in-person workshops and trainings
including a number of digitization and metadata programs,
our annual Resource Sharing Users Group meeting, the
SCRLC annual meeting of the membership & workshop,
the annual All-Advisory Committee meeting; two ESLN
programs at the NYLA 2019 conference (curated by
SCRLC); and two Digital Census Preparation Training
Workshops. Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, we
have hosted exclusively online learning opportunities,
some of which have addressed the crisis at hand. Topics
included dealing with conflict, change, distractions and
productivity in our new work environment. We also hosted
programs on workplace safety amidst Covid-19. The
engagement and turnout for many of these events was
excellent. We also held space for library workers through a
variety of regular online meetings for directors, resource
sharing staff, local history and archives professionals, as
well as the general membership. Additionally, we have
been collaborating and sharing events with the other eight
ESLN councils more than ever, greatly expanding the
depth and breadth of professional development
opportunities available to our members. Rapidly evolving
learning needs were identified on an as-needed basis
through post program evaluation forms and our virtual
member meetups. The biennial Educational Services
Survey was sent out in early March 2020 and received 35
responses. However, due to the onset of the pandemic, the
Educational Services Advisory Committee elected to
77 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
postpone the survey and continued to plan responsive

programming to meet membership needs in a rapidly
changing environment. OBJECTIVE: INVESTIGATE
CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS AROUND VARIOUS
TOPICS AND CREDENTIALING, INCLUDING
DIGITAL BADGING; IMPROVE AND PROMOTE
MYCE. RESULTS: In the 2018 Educational Services
Survey 32% of respondents to the needs assessment survey
indicated that they do not need recognition for attendance
at SCRLC activities and 61% prefer to just receive a
certificate. 29% need Continuing Teaching and Leader
Education state certification (school librarians) and we are
able to provide this as of September 2018. This will be
revisited in the future to ascertain changing needs. MyCE
use continued to be minimal. OBJECTIVE: SET UP AN
"ONLINE LEARNING" SECTION OF THE WEBSITE;
EVALUATE USE. RESULTS: There is a section of the
webpage for "On-demand Learning" where members can
access archived webinars and request access to Skillshare
and Tech-Talk. In 2019-2020, there were 77 SCRLC
webinars available, many of which continued to receive
new viewers. Six webinars were produced in the last fiscal
year with 603 views. As with other electronic resources,
Skillshare use has been lower than anticipated despite the
pandemic. We have one seat for our members to use and
between July 2019 - June 2020 we had 4 users. We also
offer Tech-Talk to our members, both as a weekly
newsletter and as a database of tech articles that they can
access at any time. One component that has seen increased
use during the pandemic are the IMLS-funded Design 4
Learning modules, which are housed at WebJunction.
SCRLC and WebJunction updated the links and monitored
the increased activity. OBJECTIVE: UPDATE THE
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES LIBGUIDE BASED
AROUND THE MONTHLY EDUCATION FOCUS.
RESULTS: We changed the monthly education focus to a
longer series of events that allows us to delve into topics
more deeply. The Education Guides had 364 views
between July 2019 and June 2020. We also expanded upon
our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion LibGuide and it had
299 views during this past fiscal year. OBJECTIVE:
ENLIST A DIVERSE GROUP OF SPEAKERS AND
PRESENTERS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED
GROUPS FOR CE OFFERINGS. RESULTS: We had a
diverse group of workshop and conference speakers,
particularly in the early part of the year. However, in a
profession that is majority white, we need to continue to
prioritize hiring BIPOC speakers and this has been
identified. GOAL: ENHANCE THE ACCESSIBILITY OF
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE REGION.
OBJECTIVE: OFFER A WIDE VARIETY OF
78 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES, BOTH FACE-TO-FACE

AND ONLINE THAT MEET REGIONAL NEEDS AND
ADDRESS THE EMERGING REALITIES AND
DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS, INCLUDING
WORKSHOPS, SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS, AND
WEBINARS. RESULTS: SCRLC hosted and/or facilitated
a variety of educational activities this year including
workshops, conference programs, webinars, meetings,
vendor demos, virtual happy hours, trainings, and
advocacy events. There were ample opportunities for
member networking. Additionally, there were
asynchronous learning opportunities made available to our
members, including six new webinars archived on
YouTube, as well as Skillshare and Tech-Talk.
OBJECTIVE: MONITOR INNOVATIVE CE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR MEMBERS AND/OR
THEIR USERS/MEMBERS. RESULTS: This was a year
of innovative and responsive CE, due to rapidly-evolving
workplace changes. Many of the events that we offered
met our members at their point of need. For example, we
hosted programs on dealing with conflict, change,
distractions and productivity in our new work
environments. We also hosted programs on workplace
safety amidst Covid-19. Many of our online opportunities
also evolved from a more traditional webinar format into
more engaged and interactive meetups or trainings
involving polling, breakout rooms, etc. OBJECTIVE:
DEVELOP A TOOL TO SHARE REGIONAL
EXPERTS/SPEAKERS. RESULTS: The Google Form on
our website developed to identify regional speakers had
minimal use. However, SCRLC members presented or
contributed to a number of events this year and shared their
knowledge and expertise. For example, local academic
librarians shared resource sharing initiatives at the
Resource Sharing Workshop; a local academic librarian
presented a program on student employment; and
librarians from public, academic, and special libraries all
regularly shared information about their institution's
response to Covid-19 and the movement for racial justice.
GOAL: PROVIDE CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. OBJECTIVE: OFFER
PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON ISSUES OF DIVERSITY,
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, ETC. RESULTS: The
programs that we offered that focused on diversity and
social responsibility included our annual meeting where
we looked at strategic planning through the lens of
diversity, equity, and inclusion; a NYLA ESLN luncheon
about uncovering privilege and addressing
microaggressions; workshops on Digital Census
Preparation; and more informal meetups to discuss how to
advance racial equity in our institutions. This will continue
79 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
to be a focus for the upcoming fiscal year with book

discussion groups and programs focusing on decentering
whiteness in our collections and outreach to indigenous
communities, among others--we want to move from
dialogue to action. Our membership benefited from access
to excellent programming on these topics from our sister
councils across the state. Furthermore, the Educational
Services Advisory Committee identified a need to
incorporate these issues in all of our programming, not just
programs that explicitly speak to Diversity and Social
Responsibility. To that end, all speakers will be asked to
consider and address how these issues play a role in their
work. """"""""""""
14.4 Element 4: Consulting and """""""""""GOAL: TO FACILITATE THE PROVISION

Development Services - OF EXPERTISE- ADVICE, TRAINING, OR
Results REFERRALS IN SPECIFIC AREAS OF LIBRARY
LEADERSHIP AND OPERATION, OR CUSTOMIZED
TEACHING AND SERVICES TO MEMBERS.
OBJECTIVE: PROVIDE ASSISTANCE BY EMAIL,
PHONE, VISITS, AND OTHER AVENUES. RESULTS:
SCRLC provided assistance by email, phone, the web
form, virtually, and in-person. Council staff conducted 63
field visits and consultations with members, including two
new director visits (GST School Library System and the
Corning Museum of Glass's Rakow Library) via Zoom.
The number of visits and consultants increased from 22 in
2017 to 45 in 2018 to 63 in 2019-2020, despite the
pandemic. The Digital Services Librarian provided
customized training to 15 member institutions over the
course of the year, with multiple trainings and visits in
many cases. Despite decreased funding and having to
cancel some of the online resources, our most valuable
resource is the SCRLC staff. OBJECTIVE: OFFER
CUSTOMIZED TRAINING TO MEMBER
ORGANIZATIONS. RESULTS: Customized training,
onsite or remote, was offered on digitization, metadata,
cataloging, grant consultations and Board orientation--in
total, 37 sessions. GOAL: FACILITATE KNOWLEDGE-
SHARING AND MEMBER COLLABORATION.
OBJECTIVE: SHARE INNOVATION THAT IS
HAPPENING IN SCRLC MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS.
RESULTS: Innovative ideas were shared through the
advisory committees, the RBDB-funded grant final project
reports that are posted to our website (see https://scrlc.org
/Grant-information), and through member meetups where
members shared projects and changes they made to their
workflows due to Covid-19. Twenty-nine member meetups
were hosted over the last half of the fiscal year for
director's, resource sharing staff, local history & archives
80 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
staff, and the general membership. Member innovation is

also shared through our weekly newsletter. OBJECTIVE:
OFFER GRANTS FOR KNOWLEDGE-SHARING.
RESULTS: The RBDB grants that were funded met this
goal, and yet SCRLC had hoped to offer an innovative
grant opportunity called The Dolphin Cove Innovative
Grant using its operating budget. Loosely based on the
concept of the Shark Tank program, members would have
been invited to pitch a creative idea to a pod of "Dolphins,"
in person. The Board approved the plan in March just as
libraries closed for the pandemic. The concept may be
adopted for online pitches in the future, but with the
budget situation, it seemed best to hold off for now.
OBJECTIVE: OFFER A SWAP AND SHOP TO SHARE
IDEAS. RESULTS: Programs that have included Swap
and Shop elements included the annual Resource Sharing
Users Group program; the "NYLA, SCRLC and You: a
Conversation about Diversity and Inclusion in
Librarianship" program; the 2019 annual meeting that
focused on sharing ideas about strategic planning within
our institutions; and our many member meetups over the
past year in which members have presented on and shared
ideas of programs, services, etc. in their institutions.
OBJECTIVE: EXPLORE THE HARWOOD
COMMUNITY CONVERSATION KIT; USE IF
RELEVANT. RESULTS: SCRLC had planned to
implement a Community + Libraries program during the
late spring of 2020. This model was inspired by the
Harwood Community Conversation Kit). The program
would mentor librarian and community partnerships in
order to solve specific community issues. The executive
director had visited NNYLN's implementation of the
program and had two meetings with the developer. Due to
the circumstances with the pandemic and budget
constraints, it has been postponed for the foreseeable
future GOAL: INCUBATE INNOVATIVE
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES
THROUGH SCRLC-SPONSORED INITIATIVES AND
GRANT OPPORTUNITIES THAT IMPACT MEMBERS
AND ADHERE TO SCRLC'S GUIDING PRINCIPLES.
OBJECTIVE: CONTINUALLY REVIEW
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TRENDS. RESULTS:
The Advisory Committee on Information Technology and
Services reviewed current trends data in reports including
the Horizon Report at various meetings. SCLRC continued
to highlight links to trends information in our weekly
online News (e.g., Center for the Future of Libraries,
Horizon Reports, Pew). OBJECTIVE: OFFER GRANTS
FOR REGIONAL PROJECTS AND INNOVATIVE
EXPLORATION, AS FUNDS PERMIT. RESULTS: In
2019, the SCRLC Board of Trustees awarded nine RBDB
81 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
grants to members, totaling $37,128, as follows: $6,683.00

to Alfred University Scholes Library to digitize 114 hours
of at-risk audio recordings relevant to the history of Alfred
University and the College of Ceramics, as well as 20
tapes on the topic of "Voices of Native North America".
$4,050.00 to the Seymour Public Library District for a
collaborative documentation project with the Cayuga
Museum of History and Art to collect oral histories
documenting historically oppressed groups in Auburn, NY.
$2,243.00 to SUNY Cortland to digitize the student
newspaper, Normal News, 1906-1925. $8,325.00 to Wells
College to digitize the Howland Stone Store Museum,
including materials relating to women's rights, the
Underground Railroad, and the education of formerly
enslaved people post-Civil War. $4,418.00 to the Fenimore
Art Museum to digitize newspapers spanning 1816-1924,
including New Berlin Gazette, Oxford Times, Norwich
Journal, Norwich Chenango Telegraph, and others.
$620.00 to the Chemung County Historical Society to
digitize oral histories from 1988-1990, documenting the
local African-American community in Elmira, NY.
$3,245.00 to the Cortland County Historical Society to
digitize over 1,100 images from the Brockway Motor
Trucks Collection. $3,000.00 to the History Center in
Tompkins County to digitize historical photographs and
maps. $4,094.00 to the Yates County History Center to
develop a portable digitization kit and help nine rural
townships begin to digitize their materials through a series
of scanning events. All of the resulting digital materials
will be added to either New York Heritage or New York
State Historic Newspapers. """""""""""
14.5 Element 5: Coordinated """"""""""GOAL: FACILITATE PARTICIPATION IN

OBJECTIVE: PARTICIPATE COLLABORATIVELY IN
NYS VIRTUAL REFERENCE INITIATIVES, AS

members participated in Ask Us 24/7 virtual reference via
an RBDB-funded, cost-share. OBJECTIVE: PROMOTE
PARTICIPATION IN THE STATEWIDE ASKUS 24/7 VR
PROGRAM. RESULTS: At the end of the fiscal year, two
additional libraries had joined: Houghton College and
Corning Community College. Corning soon dropped out.
The other six SCRLC participants continued to be Broome
Community College, Cayuga Community College, Cornell
University, SUNY Cortland, SUNY Delhi, and Wells
College. We expected an untick in participation due to the
move from QuestionPoint to LibAnswers as well as the
pandemic, but so far this has not happened--most likely it
is too challenging to consider changing a service
82 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
component in a time of such uncertainty. OBJECTIVE:

ANNUALLY EVALUATE PARTICIPATION IN VR
SERVICE INITIATIVES. RESULTS: AskUs 24/7
migrated from QuestionPoint to LibAnswers this past year
due to the discontinuation of QP and its sale of the backup
reference service to Springshare. This disrupted statistical-
gathering, i.e., the service had to rely on the individual
libraries to send them to the statewide coordinator.
January-June figures are missing from one of our
participants, so the figures would be a bit higher. Questions
asked by regional users: 5,069, up from 3,929 the previous
year; questions answered by regional librarians: 3,872, up
from 1,026. Ideally, the proportion of questions asked to
questions answered should be 50:50. Longitudinally, the
volume in 2011 was 6,026 (users asking) and 5,631
(librarians answering). GOAL: RESOURCE
ACQUISITION & ACCESS: FACILITATE AND
ENHANCE ACCESS TO INFORMATION FOR
MEMBER LIBRARIES AND LIBRARY SYSTEMS,
NYS STUDENTS, EDUCATORS, LIFELONG
LEARNERS, AND RESIDENTS. OBJECTIVE: REVIEW
THE REGIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATA BASES
AND INTERLIBRARY RESOURCES SHARING
(RBDB) PROGRAM ANNUALLY, SEEKING ADVICE
OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES
(ACITS) FOR PRIORITIES. RESULTS: On the
recommendation of the Advisory Committee on
Information Technologies & Services, the RBDB grant
cycle was adjusted to follow the calendar year so that 90%
of grant funds are released in January and the remaining
10% released after SCRLC receives its funding and the
recipient has filed an interim report. This worked well in
2019, but due to complications from the COVID
shutdown, many of the grants were months behind
schedule as of June 30, 2020. To further complicate
matters, the RBDB FY was just moved from calendar year
to July-June. In this environment of reduced funding a 12-
month program now needs to carry us 18 months, i.e.,
January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 AND in a year where we
are operating on reduced funds. SCRLC was quite
unhappy with this switchover but will adjust.
OBJECTIVE: FUND ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC
RESOURCES, AS FEASIBLE. RESULTS: Through
RBDB monies, SCRLC continued to support regional
access to the following electronic resources used by the
region's residents: FirstSearch Base Package, EBSO Art
Museum Image Gallery, and EBSCO's Literary Reference
Center. There are also several free electronic resources
included with the EBSCO subscription, e.g. Teacher
Resource Center and GreenFILE. RBDB also funded
83 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
Skillshare, LibGuides, and Tech-Talk, which are available

to all regional library workers to better serve their users.
EBSCO Consumer Health Complete continued to be
funded using MISP monies. The New England Journal of
Medicine was funded via the HLSP as was a STAT!Ref
e-book collection. OBJECTIVE: PROVIDE
CENTRALIZED BILLING AND ORDERING FOR
PRODUCTS OF VALUE TO REGIONAL OR
STATEWIDE LIBRARIES AND LIBRARY SYSTEMS.
RESULTS: SCRLC provided centralized billing for
ESLN's RDA subscription discount (Finger Lakes Library
System and Ithaca College), and one non-SUNY ELD
Delivery participant (Alfred University). SCRLC also
maintained a Campus Ship account, used by the Otsego-
Northern Catskills School Library System. OBJECTIVE:
COORDINATE REGIONAL PURCHASES OF
ELECTRONIC RESOURCES ON BEHALF OF
MEMBERS. RESULTS: SCRLC continued to coordinate
an OVID subscription/cost share on behalf of Bassett
Healthcare, Cayuga Medical, Lourdes Hospital, and UHS.
SCRLC also continued to coordinate Davis College's
subscription to the Oxford English Dictionary online
through LYRASIS. OBJECTIVE: EXPLORE GROUP
PURCHASES AND DISCOUNTS FOR MEMBERS.
RESULTS: SCRLC, along with ESLN, continued to
explore opportunities and partnerships to benefit all NYS
libraries and library systems. Discounted services include
the RDA toolkit, FirstSearch, OVID, and the ELD service.
GOAL: FACILITATE COLLABORATION AND
PARTICIPATION WITHIN THE REGION TO PROVIDE
A COMPREHENSIVE DIGITAL HISTORY OF SOUTH
CENTRAL NEW YORK STATE. OBJECTIVE:
ADVOCATE AND COORDINATE COLLABORATIVE

Oneonta (45), and Wells College (465). Additionally, two
libraries, SUNY Broome and Yates County History Center,
began training in digitization in order to start their projects.
All together, 13 SCRLC participating libraries and cultural
organizations added 1,846 objects to New York Heritage
this year, bringing the total to 9,715 objects (made up of
over 38,000 files). Eight SCRLC members (Binghamton
University, Cornell University, Elmira College, Fenimore
Art Museum, George F Johnson Memorial Library, Otego
Historical Association, Steele Memorial Library, SUNY
Cortland, and Yates County History Center & Museums)
are also participating in the New York State Historic
Newspapers project. GOAL: PROVIDE INFORMATION
AND TRAINING IN THE PROCESS OF
DIGITIZATION, STANDARDS, METADATA, ACCESS,
AND DIGITAL PRESERVATION. OBJECTIVE: ASSIST
IN DEVELOPING DIGITIZATION WORKFLOWS AND
CLEARLY DEFINED PROJECT PLANS. RESULTS:
Each institution participating in New York Heritage was
provided with a template for digitization project plans, as
well as minimum scanning guidelines and a
comprehensive metadata dictionary for their project. These
documents are linked from our website for anyone to
access at any time. OBJECTIVE: PROVIDE
INFORMATION AND TRAINING IN STANDARDS
AND DIGITIZATION BEST PRACTICES, INCLUDING
METADATA, TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, AND
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. RESULTS:
One-on-one training was provided to new and existing
program participants. The digital services librarian offered
metadata/CONTENTdm training for members in
2019-2020 (35 sessions) before the COVID shutdown.
GOAL: ACT AS REGIONAL LIAISON AND
ADVOCATE FOR SCRLC MEMBERS TO NEW YORK
HERITAGE AND EMPIRE STATE DIGITAL
NETWORK. OBJECTIVE: CREATE A NYH USERS
GROUP TO OFFER SUPPORT, FACILITATE
MEETINGS, AND CONTRIBUTION INCENTIVES.
RESULTS: There was insufficient interest in starting a
regional NYH users group, so we will encourage our users
to join the existing statewide forum for New York Heritage
users. At the end of the fiscal year, considerations for an
annual users group event were under way, potentially to be
in conjunction with other regions. GOAL: PROMOTE

OBJECTIVE: EXPLORE AND PROMOTE OTHER
ACCESS POINTS FOR DIGITAL CONTENT.
RESULTS: Interest in the traveling exhibits remained high.
The women's suffrage and Erie Canal exhibits were housed
at eleven libraries before the COVID shutdown in March
of 2020. These exhibits showcase the diversity and historic
quality of materials found on New York Heritage. SCRLC
staff continued to promote the History Unbound LibGuide

mock interviews. The executive director continues to serve
on Syracuse University iSchool's Guiding Council.
OBJECTIVE: OFFER MLS/MLIS INTERNSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES. RESULTS: Internships have been
offered within the period of the Plan of Service but not
during this past year, primarily due to the resignation of
our digital services librarian and timing of some of our
projects. We also want to offer paid intern ships as a matter
of equity and inclusion, which will be challenging to do in
the current budget environment. GOAL: ENSURE,
PROMOTE, AND FACILITATE CULTURAL

OBJECTIVE: OFFER COMMUNICATIONS AND
TRAINING, ADDRESS AT DIRECTORS' MEETINGS.
RESULTS: The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Plan, which
the DEI Advisory Committee finished, was approved by
the Board on December 13, 2019. The Plan examines
SCRLC's programs and services through the lens of D-E-I.
For example, what does this mean for RBDB Grants
(applications now require applicants to address DEI)?
What does this mean for advocacy? For metadata? For
workshops? The Plan is available here: https://scrlc.org

FREQUENT COMMUNICATION WITH MEMBERS
THROUGH VISITS, EMAIL, WEBSITE, CHAT,
PHONE, BI-WEEKLY NEWSLETTER, ETC. RESULTS:
Visits to SCRLC's virtual spaces totaled 136,217. The total
figure breaks out as follows: 45,827 for the SCRLC
website; 603 YouTube views for the 6 webinars produced
in the last fiscal year and (5,587 views including the older
archived ones); 8,704 visits to SCRLC's 15 LibGuides; and
76,099 pageviews of SCRLC member content on New
York Heritage. We were able to refine this figure to include
views of objects as well as searches within specific
member collections. Council programs and services
continued to be promoted through multiple outlets.
Frequent updates about Council activities are provided
through Constant Contact, the website, visits, social media,
and the weekly email newsletter. SCRLC published 37
weekly electronic newsletters, which continued to be well-
received by the 476 subscribers. Tech-Talk was also sent to
subscribers and remained very popular with our members
according to Constant Contact statistics and comments
from members. Council staff promoted SCRLC's programs
and services beyond the region via NYLINE & other
discussion/ distribution lists. A Communications Plan was
updated in 2019 and will be approved in the next fiscal
year. This will help SCRLC to better coordinate and track
our communication efforts. The outreach services librarian
continued to send HLSP periodic newsletters to members.
General membership meetups, as well as specialized ones
(directors, resource sharing, and local history & archives)
were initially held weekly and then biweekly March-
August. The above is very focused on electronic
communications, but the staff conducted in-person field
visits during the first half of the fiscal year. Generally the
spring is a major time for field visits, which was
impossible to do this year due to the pandemic. Two in-
person visits to new directors were replaced by Zoom
visits. OBJECTIVE: REDESIGN SCRLC'S WEBSITE,

ESLN collaborated with Finger Lakes Library System and
Broome County Public Library to host two Digital Census
Preparation Workshops. SCRLC contributed to the
planning for Academic Librarians 2020 conference on
behalf of ESLN, which was to be held in April 2020, but
was cancelled due to the pandemic. CLRC and SCRLC
collaborated to hold a resource sharing users' group
conference held in September. SCRLC staff planned two
2019 ESLN NYLA programs. One was on The Laws of
Managing Digital Assets and the other was a luncheon
with ALA's Office of Diversity, Literacy and Outreach
Services on uncovering privilege and addressing
microaggressions. Planning is underway for 2020 ESLN
NYLA virtual programs on "Resisting Achievement
Culture" and the "Lemonade of Crisis Response."
Additionally, since the pandemic, all councils have widely
shared virtual programming and have collaborated on
multiple virtual panel discussions. Council staff also
served on five of the six regional school library systems'
advisory councils. The directors and staff of the nine
ESLN Councils developed a strategic plan/field guide to
move forward even more cooperatively. GOAL: FORM

RESULTS: SCRLC, along with ESLN, continued to
89 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
explore other partnerships to benefit all NYS libraries.

Highlights are as follows: ADVOCACY: SCRLC
cooperated with other NYS library systems to coordinate
advocacy efforts, working with the New York Alliance of
Library Systems and NYLA to support statewide advocacy
including Library Advocacy Day. The executive director
served on the steering committee for NYALS.
PROGRAMMING: SCLRC coordinated the two ESLN
NYLA annual conference programs, including a luncheon
that has become a large draw for NYLA. All SCRLC
virtual programming continued to be offered reciprocally
to the other councils and vice versa, leading to an increase
in attendance to all our webinars across the state.
ASSESSMENT: SCRLC continued to maintain the ESLN
Assessment LibGuide, which had 370 views. The archived
YouTube assessment videos were also viewed.
DIGITIZATION: As noted in Element 5, Coordinated
Services, SCRLC continued to participate in New York
Heritage, which combines eight of nine Council's
digitization programs. SCRLC continued to work with
metadata, training, marketing aspects, and exhibits.
LEVERAGED PURCHASES: CLRC and SCRLC
continued to leverage the purchasing of OCLC's
FirstSearch Base Package through their "Route 13"
partnership. SCRLC also participated in ESLN group
purchase efforts, e.g. the RDA Toolkit. REFERENCE:
Also described in Element 5, SCRLC offered a cost-share
for SCRLC libraries participating in AskUs 24/7 virtual
reference service, which is coordinated by WNYLRC.
Related to this is the specialized Ask the Lawyer service,
which SCRLC subsidizes. There were seven questions
asked (Finger Lakes Library System: 3; Ford Library: 1;
Seneca Falls: 1; Southern Tier Library System: 2). GOAL:

new Board members following their election in October
2019. We continued the practice of offering additional
training/Q & A after one of the first meetings of the year.
The annual Board retreat was held in July 2019 and was
facilitated by Kirby Edmonds. The goal was to review the
vision, mission, and guiding principles and to establish
expectations for the Plan of Service Design Team. The
Board also "dotted" topics that had been identified as
important at the 2018 membership meeting, which used an
Open Space Technology format. OBJECTIVE:
ORGANIZE FACILITIES TASK FORCE TO RE-
EXAMINE OFFICE SPACE REQUIREMENTS AND
NEEDS OF THE STAFF AND MEMBERSHIP.
RESULTS: Space was not actively investigated, though it
will be on the agenda for 2020-2021. The pandemic has
changed the way that we operate; in the future there may
be more cost-effective alternatives. GOAL: SCRLC
DEMONSTRATES BEST PRACTICES IN
91 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, STAFF

DEVELOPMENT, AND WORKPLACE WELLNESS.
OBJECTIVE: PROMOTE BEST PRACTICES FOR
GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS AND
INITIATIVES. RESULTS: SCRLC continues to
participate in ReBusiness Partners Program at Tompkins
County Solid Waste. Workplace wellness was addressed in
webinars on conflict management, change, productivity
and coping with distractions. We also hosted two webinars
addressing Covid-19 and workplace safety. Additionally,
two virtual trivia happy hours offered members and staff a
chance to de-stress. OBJECTIVE: OFFER STAFF
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. RESULTS: A day
of staff development was held in August 2019 for team-
building. The staff meeting provided an opportunity to
review the Open Space Technology membership meeting
results and "dot" topics of interest. Staff continued to
attend programs and conferences that they and the
executive director identified as important to the Council,
though the format changed after March. GOAL: SCRLC
IS AN INNOVATIVE LIBRARY ORGANIZATION,
RESPONSIVE TO ITS MEMBERSHIP. OBJECTIVE:
OFFER PROGRAMS AND SERVICES BASED ON
IDENTIFIED NEEDS OF THE MEMBERSHIP.
RESULTS: Programs are offered based on identified needs
of the membership through feedback from surveys,
meetings and program evaluations. Examples of identified
needs from members surveyed included programming on
various aspects of leadership and managing one's
professional life. Programs are also offered responsively
through short-term needs that emerge. For example, there
were programs offered to the membership on covid-19 and
workplace safety and panel discussions on the challenges
of reopening physical spaces in both public and academic
libraries. OBJECTIVE: SUPPORT INNOVATION AND
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT IN MEMBERS'
ORGANIZATIONS VIA CONTINUING EDUCATION,
GRANT OPPORTUNITIES, AND CONSULTATION, AS
POSSIBLE. RESULTS: In March 2019, SCRLC offered
one SCRLC member a scholarship to the annual NYSLAA
Conference for Library Assistant's and one SCRLC
member a Continuing Education grant to a conference or
workshop of their choice. The budget did not allow us to
offer these grants during the 2019-2020 fiscal year.
Multiple trainings and consultations were conducted with
member organizations to offer RBDB grant opportunities
on program development for digitization. OBJECTIVE:
IMPLEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE
MEMBERSHIP DUES AND FEES TASK FORCE, IF
APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND
THE SCRLC MEMBERSHIP. RESULTS: Accomplished
92 of 96 9/16/2020, 11:28 AM
in 2016--the membership approved the dues restructuring

at the October 2016 membership meeting. Periodic
examination of the dues and fees structure is an on-going
process; both will need to be further modified in the years
ahead. LEADERSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION GOAL:
ENSURE SCRLC UTILIZES ITS RESOURCES IN AN
EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT MANNER. OBJECTIVE:
UPDATE SCRLC'S DISASTER PLAN. RESULTS: Our
Disaster Planning LibGuide had been updated and yielded
390 views during 2019-2020. The plan, which already
included a section on pandemic disease, will be further
updated to include our reopening plan as a template.
OBJECTIVE: HOLD ANNUAL MEETINGS,
INCLUDING THE 50TH MEETING OF THE
MEMBERSHIP. RESULTS: The 2019 annual meeting was
held on October 4 at Traditions at the Glen in Johnson
City. Kirby Edmonds of TFC Associates based in Ithaca
facilitated a discussion on strategic planning and how to
incorporate diversity, equity and inclusion into the
planning process. (Note: TFC stands for Training for
Change.) SCRLC celebrated its 50th annual meeting on
October 23, 2016 at LaTourelle in Ithaca. OBJECTIVE:
SUPPORT THE WORK OF THE BOARD OF
TRUSTEES AND OFFER BOARD DEVELOPMENT
OPPORTUNITIES. RESULTS: SCRLC accomplished
most of the projects and objectives outlined in the Board's
annual work plan, which is derived from the Plan of
Service. A few pieces carried over due to timing and
priorities. SCRLC's full audit was successful. Programs
and services continued to be planned with input from the
Board, advisory committees, and membership via
meetings, field visits, and surveys. RESULTS: Board
orientation was offered to our two new Board members
following their election in October 2019. We continued the
practice of offering additional training/Q & A after one of
the first meetings of the year. The annual Board retreat was
held in July 2019 and was facilitated by Kirby Edmonds.
