LLMC member libraries have met annually during AALL conventions since 1978. Our 37th Annual Meeting was held at AALL in San Antonio, Texas, on July 14. It was conducted under rules adopted in 2003 when LLMC's fiche-era libraries transferred control of the Consortium’s assets to LLMC-Digital’s Charter Members. As usual, the principal business of the annual meeting was elections to staff LLMC’s two governing bodies, our Board of Directors and Advisory Council. Voting rights for delegates reflected each library’s subscription status relative to LLMC-Digital.
