Bob: How can I get on the TIF Library Working group as a regular member? I'm ready and able to get more involved in library stuff again. Also, what types of activities is LB7 funding this year (there was some discussion of pulling back from just internet access to more telecommunications wiring, etc.), and did the legislation ever make it tying in TIF funding to filtering? We did hire Chris. Her recommendations from her prior boss at UTSA and her current boss, the Dean at her college, were all sterling. Dale ----------------------------------------------------- Dale L.

(Richard will let me know when it is posted on TIF's web site, and I'll notify you; it should be Friday or Tuesday. Check http://www.tifb.state.tx.us/NewThings/newthings.html) Applications will be due July 30, awards will be announced by August 31, and the grant period will begin September 3 and end August 31, 2002. LB 7 will be similar to LB 6. There have been a number of small changes to make it easier to apply and to give libraries more latitude in meeting their needs. For example, signatures are required on only one form (for LB 6, almost every form required a signature), and for Program B there is no restriction on the number of workstations (Program A retains a 10 workstation limit). One major change from previous grants is a requirement for performance measures. The new TIF Library Working Group will prepare a FAQ to help applicants develop their performance measures. I'll highlight other changes in future messages.
