The Michigan Center for Innovation and Reinvention Board has a web site at:

http://michigan.gov/dnr/0,1607,7-153-39002_55463---,00.html

There isn't much information there yet, but the "Meeting Schedule"
does say they want public comment at the March 15th meeting on
"library services and collections."

YOU WILL HAVE TO CONTACT THEM AND LET THEM KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT TO THE BOARD.

In any event, again we would like people there doing research indicating the importance of the LOM. Please pass the word.
