Texas Library Association Reference Round Table
Executive Board Meeting, March 10, 1993

Chair Donald Buchwald called the meeting to order at 9:00 am and introduced 
the current officers.

Minutes & Treasurer's Report

	Secretary/Treasurer Jacqueline Hambric read the minutes of the July 24, 1992, 
meeting.  The minutes were approved with minor corrections.  Jacqueline then reported that 
the Reference Round Table had $3,434.27 on hand.  Other approved expenditures included: 
$200 for clerical support for Texas Reference Sources; confirmation of approval of $500 to 
support the Electronic Access to Serials preconference; and $150 for a stipend and plaque to 
honor the recipient of the Lois Bebout Award.

Committee Reports

	John Hepner reported that a Spring issue of the RRT newsletter would come out after 
conference.

Committee.  Elected were: Richard C. Dickey, Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect; Terri Miller, 
Secretary/Treasurer; and Jane Clausen, Joyce Hopkins, and Bob Kelley, Nominating 
Committee.

	Donald Buchwald reported for Walter Bell on the status of the new edition of Texas 
Reference Sources.  With clerical help, the text of the new edition should be available by 
Annual Assembly, 1993.

	Melinda Townsel-Winston reported that everything was in order to recognize Jean 
Tolbert with the 1993 Lois Bebout Award.

	Richard Dickey submitted a report from the Ad Hoc Membership Committee.  The 
report is attached.

Old Business

	Donald Buchwald inquired into the status of the round table's bylaws.  Although the 
bylaws were apparently adopted in April 1990, they contain some discrepancies.  He 
suggested that a revision of the bylaws should be considered at Annual Assembly.  It was 
noted that the bylaws call for a Planning Committee, which is not formed at this time.

New Business

	The Board voted to support a Reference 2000 preconference in 1994 and committed
up to $500 in monetary support.  The preconference will be planned by the Texas State 
Library.  Vice-Chair Bill Hord will meet with Barbara Crosby and possible preconference 
designers and presenters Margaret Irby Nichols and Karen Wielhorski during conference to 
discuss details of the preconference.

	Donald Buchwald submitted an agenda for the general membership meeting on March 
11 for approval, and it was approved.

	Bill Hord reported that preparations for the conference program, scheduled for 
Thursday, March 11, were in order and encouraged those present to attend.

	The Board voted to support the Library Instruction Interest Group program on March 
11 by providing inexpensive tokens of appreciation for the five speakers at that program.  
The Board also voted to provide similar tokens for the speakers at the Reference Round 
Table program.  Bill Hord was charged with purchasing and delivering these gifts.

	Donald Buchwald adjourned the meeting at 9:50 am.
