Items discussed:

Membership on Training Team
Lori, Loree and Deborah all agreed to serve another year’s term on the Training Team. We will rotate meeting facilitation and minute taking. Next meeting will be facilitated by Loree and Lori will take minutes.

Core Competencies
Loree will change #3 to list “all necessary software” more specifically.
Competencies will be sent out as the next training tip as well as by snail mail to all library liaisons. Lori will draft a cover letter before sending the hard copy to liaisons.

Training Survey
Loree will send the survey out to each library liaison via email and hopefully get a response back from each library providing service.

Transcript Evaluation
Loree and Emily reported back on sessions held in Salem and Portland. All went well with positive feedback.
Deborah has been in contact with folks in Corvallis helping them get started and will contact Kevin in Bend to encourage a session there.
We discussed the possiblility of holding a transcript evaluation event in Portland through Portals in fall. Caleb will follow-up.
Agreed we need to continue to promote and facilitate transcript evaluations at libraries.

Training Report
Emily reported on a small group one day training in Medford and a larger 2-day session in Portland.
We agreed we need more Ref-tracker training for libraries starting to provide service. Emily is continuing efforts to get this scheduled.
Lori and Caleb will continue planning for training in working with teems with youth librarians in Jackson and Multnomah counties.

General news
