1996 - SHORT-RANGE PLAN
(These are projects on which the CCMCC should continue work or initiate new ideas, and implement during 1996)

• Develop a public relations plan:
  • Develop a clear message about what the CCMCC is and does
    
  • Build on PR publications from 1995
    
  • Establish a new name for the committee
    
  • Develop a process for press releases to library publications, newspapers, etc.
    
  • Share clear information about the CCMCC budget process both within and
    outside the committee

• Foster and refine the concept of statewide collaboration and collections
  • Bring in a variety of types of libraries
    
  • Define new concepts for cooperation that transcend traditional ownership model

• Increase activity on the listserv

• Streamline and document the grant proposal process

• Establish a method for regular review of funded grant projects
  • Clarify the role of the CCMCC coordinator in evaluation
    
  • Identify what is meant by a "successful" project (less out-of-state ILL? user satisfaction? larger margin of unique titles held within the state?)

• Determine the future of the model discipline proposals now funded, and possible future funding activities
