Hi Katie,

PINES has an Executive Committee made up of 9 regional library system
directors that are voted in by the entire group of 53 directors. Requests
for policy changes come from the Directors and go to the Executive
Committee, who then makes decisions with input from the rest of the
directors as well as Subcommittees that are made up of library staff. We
have PINES Director meetings three times a year, and also have private
list-servs for Directors and for Subcommittees.

Other types of feedback, such as patron feedback and suggestions on the
system, either go to the libraries and then get moved up along the chain if
needed or get sent directly to us (PINES support staff).

[Tim Spindler]

C/W MARS doesn't have a User Group but our entire consortium is on
Evergreen.   We do have functional committees and interest groups that look
at and decide policy on specific functions including circulation, resource
sharing (holds/ILL), and and cataloging.  In addition to that, we have an
OPAC interest group, serials interest group and acquisitions interest group.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Members of consortia--how do you give input to your leadership?

[Diane Disbro]

Good morning –

 

Missouri Evergreen does have a user group. There are currently five executive 
board members. That number may be increased to seven or nine in the near 
future. We also have cataloging and circulation committees which meet monthly. 
Full membership meetings are held as GoToMeetings six times a year.

Hello Evergreen community!

 

I'm the newly-elected Vice President of the Users Group of the SPARK 
consortium, which provides Evergreen to over 100 libraries in Pennsylvania. We 
are beginning to write our by-laws and we're wondering:

 

Are there any other EG UGs out there? And if so, how do they function?

If your consortium doesn't have an UG, how do you give 
feedback/complaints/requests to your leadership? 

 

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Katie

- Assisting with documentation updates
