Report from the LIR Editorial Board
It was agreed that LIR 97 would be the first e-only edition and BF would guest edit.
There was discussion on whether it was intended to continue a separate subscription for LIR and, if not, how its online publication would be funded. BF agreed to refer this back to the Editorial Board for clarification with a request for a business model with costings. Authors page charges or commercial publisher were among possibilities to be considered.
MH reported that LIR94 was planned for March. As this issue would be of particular interest to health libraries, PB queried whether it would be available for purchase as a single issue. BF would ask the Editorial Board to explore the possibility of a larger print run or print on demand.
Suggestions were invited for LIR95, with Judith Broady-Preston as Guest editor. Information assets and intangibles were suggested.

Report on Awards and Prizes
AC presented a paper. It was agreed that this year presentation of awards at the AGM would work well, but for next year a different event might be appropriate if the timing of the AGM at Umbrella was not suitable. AC to contact winners of PG award with date of AGM and ask them to do short presentation (10 minutes)
The closing date for this year’s PG award was 31 March. AC to send a chaser round lis-bailer including the date of the presentation so that prizes could be presented this year.
PB, JY and IT agreed to be judges. It was agreed that there should be some flexibility in future so that there could be a cash prize if there was also a good runner-up.
JY to approach Elsevier (Tony McSean) with a view to increasing the amount of their prize
PB circulated an amended version of the criteria and guidelines and these would be used this year and put on the web-site
AP agreed to contact ResearchResearch re updating information on the LIRG awards

Web-site
AP reported that he had very limited access rights which meant he could not create new pages or add news sections etc. The web-site was also down a lot. He had had no response on this from CILIP. JED agreed to take this up with Alan Cooper if AP sent him copies of the emails he had sent and to raise the matter of the web-site in CILIP council |

CILIP’s Research Policy and Strategy
A big launch did not now look feasible, but the planned events were making a good start in taking it out to branches and some positive steps had been taken.
Among possibilities discussed were talking to BAILER and other groups about sharing seminars, going to other group events and conferences to talk about research.
JED agreed to raise at the next Council meeting the possibility of inviting other groups to consider the research dimension in joint seminars etc.
There was discussion on the skills audit and how this might be organised and funded. AP suggested the database could be developed collectively with little cost. AP agreed to work on this and come up with some proposals. CILIP may then be prepared to put in modest funding if the skills audit would also inform its own training programme.
JED to see if John Feather as Chair of the LIS RAE could talk at the AGM on 18 July. |

Library Research Database
AP suggested that CILIP might be prepared to support a web-based database where people could load their own work. He would talk to Alan Cooper about this. There would be little cost involved. He would make a start on this. AC would ask Stella Thebridge where we were on the database which was part of LIR, to ensure there was no duplication

SLG request for research guide
JE had received a request from SLG. AP to ask her to get back to them to see exactly what they wanted. It was suggested an event would be more suitable than training materials. This could be similar to that being run with the HLG.

LIRG/SCONUL Impact initiative
PB presented a paper on the outcome of the final cohort of the initiative. She hoped that some of the recommendations could be facilitated through LIRG. Some funding was possibly available for this. AC said that the paper had also gone to SCONUL’ s Working Group on Performance Improvement who were unable to take any action at present pending a decision on a further project in this area. JED suggested exploring other agencies, eg IMRI, evidence base, LISU who could possibly carry forward the idea of a web-site.
Umbrella 2007
The date was now fixed as 28-30 June 2007 at the De Havilland campus, University of Hertfordshire
