OhioLINK will probably never be a member of DLF (I'm having a hard enough time scraping up the justification to rejoin CNI), but the work that is done does seem to be widely published, reviewed, and acted upon. (The prime example that comes to mind is the ERMI group which gave rise to the explosion of electronic resource management systems today.)It would be one thing if they were to do this work and then kept it to themselves, but that doesn't seem to be the track record, at least from my vantage point. I would like to be in there mixing it up with the rest of them because it is an area of interest of mine, but I can wait for the next phase of wider discussion to take place...

This does, indeed, sound interesting, but one must have one's priorities...my daughter's birthday is on the 6th, so I'll be otherwise entertained! I can't, however, miss the opportunity to suggest that it may not be all it is cracked up to be. One of the limits of any DLF endeavor is that it is limited usually exclusively to DLF members, no one without the requisite club card is allowed. And, although they say, "Workshop attendees are expected to have experience with library IT management....", therein lie the problem: a number of the DLF member representatives attending such an event do not, in fact, have experience in library IT. I do not mean this as a slight to DLF members. It is in my opinion one of the unfortunate outcomes of the way DLF is structured. Some day I'll write more on this larger issue at <a href="http://www.tcwhq.com/wp/" rel="nofollow">Tom's Thoughts</a>. I hope something good comes of it from which all of us can benefit. --Tom Hey, Peter.
