SUBJECT: Technology Plan and Goals and Objectives
The draft Technology Plan in your packet is a minor update of the existing technology
plan. The Library Commission generally revises its goals and objectives at the January
meeting. Until we do that, the technology plan, which is somewhat related to those goals
will remain in draft format. It may look something like the plan in the packet, but may
also be revised. I have removed any goals and objectives from the previous plan that have
been achieved over the last three years.
As a reminder, we are no longer required to submit verification of an approved
Technology Plan with our E -rate application. That verification generally is provided upon
submittal to the Alaska State Library. It is, however, very helpful to have a plan on file
which is why I am beginning the revision process.
I am also including a copy of the 2010 Library Commission Goals and Objectives which
will be a discussion item for our January meeting. 1 am mindful that the packets often are
only available to Commissioners for a few days before a meeting and want to be sure that
you have these for consideration since our meeting in January is scheduled for the 4` of
that month.
