Setting 2007-08 Goals. 
Choose from:
1. Improve consistency across campuses of the MetaLib implementation
2. Assist smaller campuses with automation needs - can we centralize more functions; can we offer more training?
3. Review recommendations for system-wide consistency of SFX and MetaLib
4. Investigate the need for an electronic resource management tool (such as Ex Libris' Verde)
5. Assist campuses with D2L/Library Integration Taskforce recommendations (putting more library resources into D2L/Learn@UW)
6. Review options for a new OPAC; keep apprised of new products like WorldCat Local, Primo, Evergreen
7. Look into Distance Education problems - some students don't have a UW home campus and therefore don't have access to our library resources
8. Assist the CUWL Records Management Committee, if requested
9. SFX/MetaLib assessment (with User Services Committee) - this requires further direction from CUWL
10. Voyager invoicing and number of Oracle licenses
11. Other suggestions
