15:31:46 From  Stefanie Claydon, Wells  to  Janet McKenney(Direct Message) : I think we lost the slide show
15:40:40 From  TPL  to  Everyone : So we would spend $600k of tax money to benefit for profit corporations? What is their contribution?
15:41:07 From  Ruth Eveland  to  Everyone : Bendable could be a great site for some ideas we've been working on!
15:42:05 From  Elizabeth Manning  to  Everyone : That's what we do.
15:44:50 From  TPL  to  Everyone : My question was more we're going to spend money to create content for Maine corporations? That's what I took from part of that discussion.

15:49:28 From  Lisa Shaw (she/her)  to  Everyone : @TPL: The content provided will be from various sources [e.g. edX, UMaine, etc.]. It is for Maine people, the same way the digital Maine library is. Content will include personal enrichment as well as [hopefully] skills recognized by Maine [and other employers] should people wish to skill up for a new or better job.

15:52:07 From  James Ritter  to  Everyone : @Nancy -- soon... real
15:54:03 From  Nancy Crowell  to  Everyone : Will there be a minimum that we can anticipate?  We don't have a large "lunch" program.

15:57:28 From  Lesley Unger -Springvale PL  to  Everyone : If we are adding more libraries to ILL, will there be the opportunity to increase staffing at MaineInfonet?
15:59:19 From  Colin Windhorst  to  Everyone : How does MaineCat coordinate with smaller library software programs like ResourceMate?  Where would I go to learn more about this?

16:15:49 From  David Weare  to  Everyone : Websites via MSLN-- Word press templates?
16:16:40 From  Samantha Cote, she/her, Windham  to  Everyone : Is the statewide survey something you will want one person from each library to respond to?

16:17:52 From  Ann Thomas  to  Everyone : Love these ideas for remaining funds. Thank you!

16:22:46 From  Alice Olson  to  Everyone : I didn't know we were to move from MSLN email. What  is the timeline for that?  Is there info on the MSL website for that?

16:24:22 From  Ann Thomas  to  Everyone : I would love to see us all helping each other on another level. An example is a spreadsheet of people/ libraries who have done things (ie. moved to gmail - Google Suite, or joined a network and transitioned to a new software.

16:24:57 From  Wendy Boyle  to  Everyone : Email server

16:27:23 From  Melissa Olson (she/her/hers)  to  Everyone : Thanks Janet et al.
16:27:35 From  James Ritter  to  Everyone : @Alice -- not typically, but with the funding we have we may be able to pay for some tech support (maybe NetworkMaine) to help with that.
16:27:58 From  Debra Lay  to  Everyone : Thank you Janet for leading this whole process. I am sure you've been very busy given this list of ideas and suggestions for these funds.
