Mission statement: CLIC exists to support member libraries in the fulfillment of their missions. Adopted by the Board, 2005.
February 24, 2005. These minutes contain the results of two joint meetings between the Board and the Coordinating Council creating an expedited decision making process and more concise objectives for CLIC based on the review of CLIC Organizational Structure.
Mission and Vision statements were not changed. CLIC objectives were reduced to four:
1. Provide improved and more comprehensive library resources and services to library users through the enhanced sharing of materials.
2. Operate and manage an integrated, automated library system.
3. Develop entrepreneurial initiatives in order to deliver new/expanding content and services.
4. Provide opportunities for staff collegiality, leadership and training.
A value statement was created: “Decisions within CLIC should reflect a positive impact for the users, improved quality to the catalog and consideration of staff time and resources.”
Organizational structure was revised. Coordinating Council and Executive Committees were eliminated. Working groups were retained. Two new groups were added: 1. Communities of Interest which would have a “sunset” provision and 2. Management Round Table to help expedite the decision making process.
Further work would be done and the structure implemented in July 2005, for a two year period.
The Board passed a motion supporting the creation of a CLIC Digitization Task Force.
