At its most recent meeting (the April 8-9 retreat) the OPLIN Board voted
to cancel its scheduled June meeting and meet in May instead.  The
agenda for that meeting is attached at the bottom of this message.
OPLIN's board schedule, the agenda of the next meeting and the most
recent minutes can be found under About OPLIN>Board Actions on the
**new** OPLIN Web site new.oplin.org.   Take a look!
 
We hope you read yesterday's announcement.  Remember to check all links
you may have to the old OPLIN Web site.  They will change in June.
 
Thanks to all who reviewed and tested for us during development,
especially the OPLIN Web Users Group.  Thanks also to those who helped
us pilot test the impact of caching servers, particularly members of the
Network Advisory Committee.
 
We met recently with a group of libraries that subscribe to many
databases beyond those OPLIN provides.  We are exploring group purchase
opportunities aggressively, and following up on action items from that
meeting.  Others of you have asked how you can help.  Watch for the
annual OPLIN Connectivity Survey, which is going out within the next
week.  It will ask more detailed questions about who buys what and what
you pay for it.  We'll be asking all of library directors and/or their
designees to respond, and will use that data to identify areas where we
think economies of scale can be achieved.
