        Janet reported that the joint meetings of the Life Sciences Steering Committee, Life Sciences Working Group, and the Tri-Institutional Library group went very well. Our NYC hosts were very gracious and generous with their time and the members of all three groups benefited from their interactions.

4) Library Management Team
        The Library Management Team (LMT) discussed a proposal to create an LMT intern position to support professional development and succession planning.  Following an extended discussion, LMT agreed to postpone consideration of the proposal until the fall given the recent addition of several members to the group and the impending addition of two more, Scott Wicks and Oya Rieger.  At the same time Susan will investigate other internship programs, including the one sponsored by the Association of Research Libraries, to see if any could be used as a model here.

5) Update on the Endowed Budget
        Lee provided LMT with a brief status report on the 2007-2008 endowed budget.
