The role of the L-net Advisory Board is to set the mission, goals, and direction of L-net program. The ultimate vision is to create, maintain and continually improve a high-quality E-reference program that succeeds in serving the needs of all residents of Oregon.
The primary responsibility of the L-net Advisory Board is to advise the L-net Program Coordinator and the Fiscal Agent regarding the development, implementation, promotion and evaluation of L-net.
To do this, the Board may advise on the following:
General policy and budget issues
Collaboration among provider libraries
Service standards, benchmarks, and guidelines
Promotion of L-net to the public and the Oregon library community
Staff training and best practices
Evaluation and assessment of the program
Software and vendor selection
The L-net advisory board meets 3 times per year in person, and has occasional teleconferences as necessary.
Each member serves a term of two years. New members are recruited in the fall.
