Dear CDLC Members,
Happy Summer!
At the CDLC Membership Meeting in May, I presented an
update
and Board elections took place. Welcome new Trustee
Andrew White
, Library Director at
RPI
, and returning Trustee
Jen Cannell
, Library and Arts Program Manager at
Capital Region BOCES School Library System
. Thank you to
Hudson Valley Community College
for hosting us!
This meeting was held as we transition the Membership Meeting to the Spring and plan a
Member Showcase in the Fall. Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 19th!
Regional Collections
Physical Collections:
Members generously share collections and use
CaDiLaC
to search members' catalogs-now conveniently linked to the ILL eForm. Already, the eForm has been used more than 1,400 times since July 2016 (versus 939 times last year).
Digital Collections:
CDLC members
New York State Military Museum

Local Connections
Stay connected to your local colleagues! A
call for CDLC Committee and Interest Group participation
is going out this Summer. Is there a group you'd recommend or be interested in facilitating? Let us know!
Also keep an eye out for upcoming
CDLC events
which are great opportunities for members to meet and share ideas!
Your comments and questions are always welcome.
Kind Regards,
