Wray (chair); A. Beaubien; M. Ellingson; K. Janke; D. MacDonald; T. Schneiter; S. Ward (secretary) 1. Midwinter Minutes and Meeting Notes. The Minutes for STARS Executive Committee Midwinter Meeting I were approved. The Minutes from the All STARS Meeting were reviewed. The Minutes for STARS Executive Committee Midwinter Meeting II were approved, pending minor revisions recently suggested via email. 2. STARS Awards. There are currently three awards associated with STARS: the Boucher Award; the Mentoring Award (Education and Training Committee); and the proposed Distinguished Research in Resource Sharing Award (Research and Statistics Committee). Exec discussed the pros and cons of having a single awards committee review nominations for all awards, or of having different groups identify each years recipient for each award. T. Schneiter will check to see how similar situations are handled in other groups. A. Beaubien will work with the Research and Statistics Committee to help them develop the proposal for the award they are planning. 3. RUSA Committee Members. March 1 is the deadline to reply to RUSA with nominations of STARS members to various RUSA committees. There was no response following the initial STARS-L request. Exec discussed several options for identifying nominees. Actions will include: sending another call for nominees to STARS-L; investigating the possibility of sending personal emails to all STARS members (not all have signed up for STARS-L); and investigating the possibility of automatic enrollment of all STARS members in STARS-L as there is a perception than the sign-up procedure is a barrier (only about one sixth of STARS members have joined STARS-L). 4. 2008 STARS Programs at Annual. STARS has two programs slots at the annual conference. The program proposed y the Research and Statistics Committee has been approved. STARS Exec has learned of two more programs in the pre-proposal stage. The discussion focused on how to guide committees in proposal preparation; whether to require more formal applications in the future; and how STARS Exec should review proposals for program approval. This would be a good topic to include in the new chairs orientation. Information should also be included in the STARS Handbook. Exec agreed that proposals should follow the RUSA program proposal guidelines. T. Wray will work with the two committee chairs who have suggested programs to help them prepare formal proposals. 5. Conference Call Schedule. Future STARS Exec conference calls are scheduled for 3:00-4:00 eastern time on the following days: February 26; March 26; May 7; June 4; June 11 (tentative) /ward/StarsExec021207.doc befgi: ; < @ c d e  ' v x y }   % & ( &V]gq.ͼ͵ѱѱͱѱͱͱ͘͘͘͘hz`8hz`8>*hz`8h#k hz`8>*(<2h<2>*h<2 h`Ih hD hy\5h_lhy\5h h h<}!h/dhy\B*CJ^JaJph*jh/dhy\B*CJU^JaJph7fghi: ; < e f w x y ' ( gd $a$gdy\.5&`ab{}h h CJaJh1UCJaJhSP h hz`8 h h  h hT h9A>*hz`8h9 `abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx 7$8$H$gd xyz{|},1h/ =!"#$% Dd!.'t  S PAstars_barSTARS logo barRz7lqPa]b-D Fz7lqPa]b-JFIFffC     C   &X" }!1AQa"q2#BR$3br %&'()*456789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz w!1AQaq"2B #3Rbr $4%&'()*56789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz ?Se\;چiqe'-1M0H¼{Q#Z-VO[G}?wVj| BNm}E~|P|K"OwQPOa*WG?ÅY}:F`Y_a)~;t5OCxFc*5̚s['wm:|/;rT"M'm.שO7BG#I$L66Jk[(1ڹk_U|9}̕ sO u?SZ^%"X~pd(=xZViۚQU;t5g4+{(r'Ӟ? rj7*ǿh_o4ZAl) Xe`x_Nի?P~Nf=}O3|B'dv@SW_\̡Xokkl}m:.SޤVU}YT-{x_~0/-O,! < Td!/657=ǰC7WX!ʂ5ڊv/4/< O>+?/"?C4_T!xQy<_MSbϳߎ<_MH><o:lPW=1xw/om/&ϺaQ_ 'Og[oR/!4}N}v]_#Gӓ u4}N}[_&35 ,`߈>S3+D9/#>Z<^.M=~0kIAG?~0x 7oICӣ}9E|>.&ʳj⢲[ICң}+ܿ.>J+ZH7։~)}^]}Wk'__G|/Q%[fzQVf *U|/R2+PH|Q|/T]E7 ^ɕ{Eq @GT_?#*}+IuӏH ^͏#[j7?ݢs /&#.VW2fIgRV9+r}RƯC^ vZG}!o*Tc'nry+^;{9|G<+t c(ϜakM6OjT!Р Ts? #ȩ߃Q^u^s~4֗DYdXP*5|ʤ(qm'C)/}͟|e2p϶Fl+aq]3VѴ/5x4ny" OźAgO0>`Mj]k[2 +B^[Op=Gyuz،8Zmz-w>-Ysv}|xnnN2qPX?v?YxfG5Y;tG'5),4]t\j0h{V5ܚxLu=FPT7i@'b*Tt԰ >e3g_u:}n\Ǵ;qkt}]_GVfG (lz_^24Xq򄸹X?Z~ 7|O:.ӽü7afwb)Tc'yJ>#9_X:;<ڹDVXKrf8w X6-*ʃz:BpxJgh_mi Oϱmt:O?wwqj7L$H3lRŚ,6w1j2Z-RNq?Ete2WMy5LR SzB|~]4^֞KmZeg?k['}y/!][|:f#vn{xJڝ!\)Z҇^bmoNn 3W a:mNO_&{|?ڥi ć9=}:]isi0L@xbꧨ ֬1 Fv'L9 Q9hZ  3{*~2XʂFܲW5y~ `jmg_~k0S_7Zc2*J8t| ?-j ){Qhb>z'O Nu MBu%8ɤ|iBޡ~MH>)C#JEI.??ɧ15EՊƤ7q"47s"5K|> <`>F ]ѯ(vz_ωgzw*п}~}E\acf|X Xχѩᇊ k("3OV+ 4a&>.ɧ|3V{~J>xWQvM?gI84ky~}uE/˰3>I N?٩׉ʊ>.O:0?f Ŀf˰3>W|I[jD0 w~}IE/˱_ٔ0/i_]߳R?Su~}#E/Kx#^S'Р.5E}j]χ3n@ǃu0˟4R̻>_@6W:? +v+0 O q|Tš?(?Gm\>O j>⽚_XaJ_ ?R 35RGH76S5(u.s5Rϱ_Us͓C ?%jXkyD}XxEi?ti?(Y^w8.GM*hs\/Tg>򮂊\fDgmTm(j*yQHjTJЯZ)R(((+ZKL@SEx~z`ΥsӚx"8`(ǐ]0qfE$w*Kg`dxVM.dRWm [xCMvm QEa@WaWq|ӭƲY`GOZ(`4gN>`Jr,QE?6^&aYy@pk٥Y_H9rhngj)QEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQEQE@@@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DAD Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k(No List  fghi:;<efwxy   '( ` a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z { | } 0000000@0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000:;` @0@0@0@000. x  bd C8@0(  B S  ?~ (~ ).~ TQ/~ 씁xx {{ 9*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagsState9*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagsplace vS} } 3hhgq. 5 y z { } } _^ c'X7r#!
