attended.

possible locales for government documents public services. Included in this discussion was a
recognition that government documents staffing will be changing and this will need to be considered
as we look at the various models. At our next meeting, we will try to review all of this
information and rank the potential sites in order of preference.
Once we have done the ranking we will begin to conduct focus groups and online surveys to
gather reactions to the possible sites. Two sub-groups of the task force will be appointed to
arrange the focus groups and develop the surveys which we hope to conduct in mid-February and early
March.
We decided to start maintaining a list of topics that will require our consideration before
our task is complete. Janis will maintain that list which as of this date includes:
The task force will not meet next week since many members attending ALA Mid-Winter. In
the interim, Janis will make sub-group assignments. We will invite Karen Hogenboom to attend part
of the January 29th meeting if her schedule permits. We will ask Michael Norman to
attend the February 5th meeting and Lynne Wiley to attend the meeting on February 12th.
