  • Conference Rates Increase Update ULA General Board Meeting, February 23, 2018
    Conference Rates Increase Update ULA General Board Meeting, February 23, 2018 The Utah Library Association (ULA) continues to foster professional relationships across the state by providing opportunities to network and collaborate through roundtable and committee events and our annual conference. These events are largely funded from membership fees and revenue from the annual conference. With varying costs of programming, venues, and conference amenities (e.g., wifi) from year to year, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a budget that draws primarily from conference revenue and not the limited reserves. To facilitate the ongoing financial stability of the ULA, the general board began discussing rate increases at the October and December 2017 meetings. It was generally agreed that one jump now was more favorable than a gradual increase, and increasing one rate was more favorable than increasing both conference rates and membership rates. The president and general board asked a subgroup to research nearby state library conference rates and report back with findings and a proposed conference rate increase. The following provides information about this research and closes with a proposed conference rate increase that would go into effect January 1, 2019. 2014-2018 Review of Space Rental Costs and Overall Profit Year Venue Space Rental Profit 2018 Utah Valley CC $12,000.00 Unknown 2017 South Towne $18,077.57 $9,099.07 2016 Davis Conf. Ctr. $18,700.00 $12,511.60 2015 Dixie Center $11,095.00 $22,438.12 2014 South Towne $15,053.70 $15,465.53 This table above illustrates that aspects of the conference budget, such as space rental, can vary from year to year, as does our overall profit.

  • April 20, 2016 United States Senate
    April 20, 2016 United States Senate Committee on Rules and Administration 305 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Re: Broad Public, Library and Educational Sector Support of Hayden Nomination Dear Chairman Blunt, Ranking Member Schumer and Members of the Committee: We are organizations, societies, alliances and institutes from across the political spectrum. While we may differ in outlook and the matters of policy or legislation on which we focus, we write today with one voice. Specifically, we ask that the Rules Committee rapidly vote to recommend to the full Senate that Dr. Carla Hayden be confirmed immediately to serve as the nation’s fourteenth Librarian of Congress. For the first time in the 21st century, Congress has an opportunity to equip the Library and the nation with the unique combination of professional skills and sensibilities that Dr. Hayden will bring to the post. First and foremost, Dr. Hayden is a proven leader. She was named a Ms. Magazine “Woman of the Year” in 2003 and again, just weeks ago, Fortune magazine numbered her among 50 individuals selected as the “World’s Greatest Leaders.” Fortune’s award citation expressly recognized her ability to bring “fresh leadership” to the venerable Library of Congress. Further, Dr. Hayden is an accomplished manager, particularly of the kind of institutional technological change that the Library of Congress must rapidly prioritize and achieve if it is to fully serve the nation. Indeed, the President & CEO of the Internet Association noted upon her nomination that Dr. Hayden has “exactly the skills needed to modernize the digital infrastruc- ture of the Library of Congress.” We concur.

  • Appendix F Lewis & Clark Library Material Selection and Removal Policy
    Appendix F Lewis & Clark Library Material Selection and Removal Policy Joint ALA Chapter Statement Regarding E-Content Pricing “The American people long ago realized the importance of creating and maintaining a literate and informed citizenry. Publishers, authors, distributors, and literary agencies have long recognized the important role played in our society by our libraries. In the past, they have supported libraries by providing purchasing discounts of printed materials, promoting authors, and working with librarians to increase accessibility and enjoyment of the written word. “In this technological age, libraries must stay responsive to the public and deliver the written word in both electronic and print formats. The Indiana Library Federation, the New Jersey Library Association, and the Montana Library Association are increasingly concerned about the publishers and distributors whose policies withhold e-content from library users. “Libraries, like other consumers, should be free to buy any published e-content at competitive prices, to keep these items in their collection, and to loan them to their patrons. Anything less violates basic democratic principles of a free market, freedom of speech, and equitable access. If financial barriers are removed in libraries, all citizens would have equal access to this material. “The Indiana Library Federation is in agreement with the Montana Library Association, which asks publishers of e-content to place libraries on a level playing field with other consumers of e-content. The cooperative relationship among publishers, authors, distributors, and agents must be restored. “We are aware that the American Library Association is our national voice to advocate for access to content for all members of our society and that the ALA has a Working Group on Digital Content in Libraries examining many of the issues identified above.
