Announcements:

Martha Hruska reported on the progress of the LMS process  in the selection of a vendor. A technical discussion with the favored vendor,  Ex Libris, was postponed last week due to terrorist activities and travel problems.  There is still some clarification needed before the final negotiation can be done.

Dale Canelas noted that the 9/19 Gainesville Sun reported a budget shortfall this year.  It could mean a call back on funding later this year.
