The group met 2-3 times this quarter.
Recent Activities
First Activity
LITA FAC met during ALA Annual to discuss the potential merger with LLAMA and ALCTS. We became acquainted with ITAL costs and how the journal operation is different from the journals produced by LLAMA and ALCTS. We also agreed that two price levels of advertising would work for the LITA job board. We proposed scheduling a regular meeting time but later decided it would be better to meet whenever financial documents were ready for review.

Second Activity
Margaret Heller and Brian Rennick represented LITA FAC on the Joint Finance Group which produced several documents in support of the merger.
