If you can’t attend a focus group, please complete a short survey.

More information about this initiative, the timeline, Steering Team members, etc. can be found on the KYVL reV@10 wiki:  http://www.kyvl.org/wiki/revisioningat10years/

Help us “reVision” KYVL for the future!

KYVL is seeking your feedback on our resources/services via two methods – complete a short survey or sign up for a 2-hour focus group.

Focus Groups.  Registrations are being accepted for focus groups scheduled around the state through late September.  We’ve rescheduled some dates/locations so please take a look.  Encourage your colleagues, your staff, power users, etc. to sign up.  Any KYVL user is welcome to attend.

The Survey.  We hope KYVL users will take a few minutes to answer the very short survey to help us with our data-gathering.  Please feel free to post the link to your library or organization’s website, sent it out around on listservs, or communicate KYVL’s need for feedback in whichever manner you feel will garner the best response.

We very much want to hear from you as we prepare our first strategic plan.  Help us evaluate and reflect upon just what it is that we do to serve the Commonwealth and its universities, public libraries, schools, colleges, hospitals and the citizens themselves.

Our sincerest thanks,
Enid and the reV@10 Steering Team

As we approach our 10 year anniversary, KYVL has initiated a strategic planning process called Revisioning at 10 Years or reV@10. The Steering Team is made up of representatives from all library sectors including public and private colleges and universities, public libraries and school libraries.

We have a wiki now for you to track this initiative  – http://www.kyvl.org/wiki/revisioningat10years/

In the wiki, you will find the Steering Team members list, charge/mission of the reV@10 initiative, a survey link, the Focus Groups schedule and registration form, and any public information related to this effort.

The planning process will take about six months with the final plan coming to the Council on Postsecondary Education, KYVL’s parent agency, for approval in November.
