>The person does not have to be a "leader" if you are a member who is interested in the issue of technology in relation to SLA,
>please write to me (pcia@langara.bc.ca) or to Daniel Lee,

>We will be presenting an interim status report to the Chapter and

>This fall the Toronto Chapter brought a recommendation to the SLA Board
>of Directors asking for an investigation into the technology needs of
>units and inquiring into making it easier for units to access technology
>available via SLA HQ. The Board of Directors has directed the Cabinets
>to look into the matter.
>
>So we (Brent Mai, Division Cabinet Chair & Patricia Cia, Chapter Cabinet
>Chair) are calling for expressions of interest in a "Technology Review
>Advisory Group" (title can be amended)
>
>We are looking for six volunteers (3 from Chapters, 3 from Divisions) to
>work in the group. A Chair has not yet been appointed, let me know if
>you are interested.
>
>The following are some of my thoughts on the scope of the group, however
>the Technology Review Advisory Group should feel free to amend/augment
>their scope.
>
>I was thinking that the scope might include:
>
> - Review technology needs of units (Chapters, Divisions,Committees)
> - Review what SLA Headquarters can provide
> (as well as their plans for future technological enhancements)
> - Review process or procedures for unit/headquarters interchange
> (how they communicate their needs and available technology)
>
>[Pam Rollo had added: "the only thing I would add would be for this
>group to explore what the partnership between members and the
>Association needs to be in the future. This is another process which
>would benefit from getting to be part of daily business and not treated
>like a project."]
>
>Final rport to Cabinets at the Annual Conference in Baltimore (June 2006):
> - identify potential gaps where needs are not met
> - Report on type of toolkits needed to support existing technology
> - Report on future technological needs
