Deans & Directors Meeting in Sacramento, Mar. 17 & 18

Although I'm neither a library dean nor director, I attended this annual gathering on behalf of Oxnard College.  On Wednesday, we received updates today on consortium database purchasing, the Council of Chief Librarians, the Electronic Access to Resources Committee and other matters.  On Thursday, we heard from State Chancellor's Office staff about the overall State budget and the allocations for California Community Colleges.  Both sessions were productive and more upbeat than one would expect under the circumstances.  We did hear, however, about librarians receiving March 15 letters and similar unwelcome news.
