I know many of you are anxiously awaiting word about what suggested outcomes have resulted from the second of the two meetings of my advisory committee. We did have a very productive meeting on Monday, October 29th, but we are not quite ready to post our findings yet. A small subgroup is working on consolidating the ideas generated by our last table talks of the day; we need to circulate and review or revise the draft notes from the meeting; and we are working on a cover document that will kind of walk you all through the process and help you understand what our notes summarize and how things evolved in the discussion. 
With the MLA annual conference taking up most of the week before last and Thanksgiving holidays next week, we need some extra time for communication back and forth amongst ourselves before we finalize a posting. I am also working with Library of Michigan staff to arrange for posting the documentation of both our first and our second meetings on the LM website, and we’ll be arranging for comment on all of it via this blog once everything is reviewed by the committee and we get it all posted. So, please understand that we are committed to getting it all out there for you to see and comment upon, but we need to take the time to do it right. Thanks in advance for your patience on this score. 
In the meantime, as you can see by these photos of our October 29th meeting, the participants were extremely engaged in the process and worked long hours that day, as they did at the first meeting on September 24th. Please thank them when you see them, as they have represented you well and deserve your appreciation for their time and commitment.
