In order to buildthis plan we need to hear fromour members about your visionfor the association. To that end, wewill have a Long Range Planninglistening session at theMLA Conference in Natchez.This will give you an opportunityto express your thoughts and ideas. Iinvite you to share your ideas with Jeff,Catherine and other members of the ExecutiveCommittee.As you may know by now, MAGNOLIAfunding is secure again this year. Thanks tomany individuals throughout the state,MAGNOLIA was funded at the same levelas the previous year! Although the legislativefunding was not enough to pay for allof the MAGNOLIA databases the MississippiLibrary Commission paid for OCLCFirstSearch and a portion of Credo Referencefrom their LSTA funding. The balancewas paid by contributions from MELO, thevarious community colleges, and variousuniversities and public libraries fromaround the state. We are indebted to theselibraries for keeping this valuable resourceavailable to the citizens of Mississippi.Like most of the libraries around thestate and the country, the MississippiLibrary Association is trying to be as frugalwith our limited funding as possible. TheFiscal Management Committee under theStephen Cunetto2012 MLA Presidentdirection of Carol Green workedvery hard to establish the 2012budget. It was a very difficulttask and one that requiredthe MLA Board to makesome tough decisionsincluding raising conferenceregistration fees, raisingmembership dues andreducing the number ofissues for Mississippi Libraries.The increased conference registrationfees will be take affect withthe 2012 conference but membershipfees will be voted uponby the membership at the MLAconference, going into effect inJanuary 2013. We also asked Alex Watson,editor of Mississippi Libraries, to reduce thenumber of issues from 4 to 3 to save funds.I have also appointed an ad hoc committeechaired by Ann Branton to look into transitioningMississippi Libraries to an onlinepublication. To assist with the financial situation,we are asking everyone to renewtheir individual and their organizationalmembership regardless of whether you areable to attend the MLA conference. If youhave new librarians, please encourage themto become active MLA members and tosupport their statewide library association.Vice-President Lynn Shurden and herconference committees have been workingvery hard this summer planning for theMLA conference in Natchez. I know this isgoing to be another excellent conferencethat will be inspiring and educational for allof us. I hope that you will make plans toattend the conference.I look forward to seeing you in Natchezin October! Susan Sparkmanssparkman@jackson.k12.ms.usSpecial Libraries Section ChairSheila A.
