Letter from the
Chair

Granath
Happy Spring! It's hard to believe that May is here and summer is just around the corner. We survived the Y2K hoopla, but now we're coping with some nasty viruses. I hope none of you were bitten by the "Love Bug" or one of its equally nasty cousins!
First, some good news--the annual meeting in Seattle last October gave us a big financial shot in the arm that we really needed. Thanks to all of you who attended, and more thanks to Chris Beahler and Sarah Safranek for putting together a terrific conference. Our finances may look great now, but in reality this chapter spends more money than it takes in each year. That's a trend that was a major concern for the board at this year's spring meeting. We're not alone either--other MLA chapters are struggling with this issue too. To get us moving in the right direction, the board designated a task force to make recommendations for keeping our chapter financially viable for the future. We believe that making some sound decisions now will keep us active for many years to come.
More good news--I've been checking other chapters' Web sites, and I must say that PNC's site is one of the best! Our site is easy to navigate, we provide lots of information, plus we make our newsletter available. To those of you who post information on the Web site, keep up the great work! Committee chairs remember that we want your committee information on our Web site too. If you're interested in getting committee information on our site please contact Emily Hull (PNC Webmaster) or any board member. We'd love to see even more information added to our site. If you have suggestions about other items you want to see on our Web site please let us know.
Our Web site is a great way for communicating with our geographically diverse membership, but to be most effective this chapter still needs People Power. Please consider serving as a PNC officer or committee chair. It's lots of fun (really!), and it's a great way to meet and work with people in our region. If you're interested please contact any board member. For you newcomers out there, we'd love to see new faces involved too!
I'm looking into my crystal ball and see travel plans to Alaska are in the future for many of us! Your calendars should be marked for September 16-20. Kathy Murray and her crew are working on a great conference. The 2000 conference will be PNC's 40th! Let's celebrate!
Have a great spring and summer everyone!
From the Editor
Please accept my most my most sincere apologies for the lateness of this issue. Loretta Andress and I have been just about ready to put this issue out for some time. Kim sent in her column in late March and then it sat while I spend a glorious month in Australia. In addition, Northwest Notes is taking a back seat to planning for the September chapter meeting. The next issue will be distributed in August. Please send your news or articles by August 21st.

Program and Registration materials are posted the Web at http://www.slice.gsm.com. This meeting is designed to fill a specific niche. The focus is on multimedia, technology and healthcare education. The group will look at new trends and tools as well as new applications, standards, directions and uses. The first two days consist of full or half day pre-workshops, most of which are hands on. The final 2.5 days are presentations, demonstrations, breakout sessions and interest groups. The group size is limited in order to avoid concurrent sessions and to encourage interactions and networking. Materials can be viewed on the Web or the acrobat pdf file can be downloaded and printed.
After June 1 the registration fee goes up and the workshop limit of 250 paid registrants may have been reached. Don't be disappointed. Be sure you reserve a place in the pre-workshops (optional and additional) and workshop as well as one of the hotel rooms. The program submissions this year look exciting. There are 27 brief auditorium presentations, 73 computer demonstrations, 15 posters and 16 breakout session.
The early bird registration fee is $295 for the meeting and includes lunches, breaks, nightly hospitality suite at the Marriott University Park Hotel and a buffet evening dinner at the Red Butte Gardens Arboretum.

News from the RML:
Susan Barnes, the new DOCLINE/SERHOLD coordinator for Region 6,
arrived from snowy upstate New York on January 3. Susan grew up
in Washington and went to library school at UW, after which she
ventured forth to be a Library Associate at NLM -- the interview
at NLM was only the second time she'd been east of the Rockies.
Although it was always Susan's intention to return to the Northwest,
she was sidetracked into positions at UCLA, Columbia, and Cornell,
spending 20 years away from home. Susan is very pleased to be
back in the Northwest and is looking forward to helping the region
migrate to the New DOCLINE.
Meanwhile, Nancy Press was pleased to return the RML Associate
Director's reins to the control of Neil Rambo, who had been on
a special public health-related project for two years. Nancy is
now working in the consumer health arena at the RML.
Linda Milgrom is still sunning herself in Tuscany. Her September
return is eagerly awaited by her colleagues.

MLA is committed to its Benchmarking Network. We are now in Phase 1, which will end after 100 MLA institutional members complete the Beta version of the Benchmarking Database. One hundred participants will give MLA a statistically valid sample to test the questions and their format. Before we proceed to a national effort, our instrument must be clear and its definitions known and understood. The data must be available and useful. No vital data must be left out.
To satisfy those conditions, a thoughtful
and critical review of the survey by MLA members is needed. The
best way to evaluate a survey is to take it. Please go to the
MLA website
< http://www.mlanet.org> and enter the member section. Benchmark
Network Phase 1 is easy to find. Go in and complete the survey.
REMEMBER THIS IS A BETA VERSION AND BENCHMARKING
DATA WILL NOT BE GENERATED FROM THESE RESPONSES!!!
If you have questions or problems, use the Comments area lavishly!
We are trying to de-bug the product now and no suggestion is TOO
TRIVIAL. Please share your comments with me as well, <mailto:braunr@empirehealth.org> , so I can forward them to the Benchmarking
Content Team. Right now the survey has 5 parts: Institutional
& Library Profile (single or system); administrative questionnaire;
Public Services questionnaire; Special Services questionnaire;
and Technical Services questionnaire. The website will save your
survey as a work-in-progress" and only submit when you're
ready.
Join with other MLA members and add your data to the MLA Benchmarking
Network.
