SENYLRC Community

We rely on assistance from members to enhance our

services. These volunteers help by convening

Special Interest Groups (SIGs), hosting

unconferences, sitting on active committees, advising

on new programs and services, and serving on

award committees. The behind-the-scenes hard work

done by committee members and other volunteers is

what makes SENYLRC’s ongoing service possible.

The five standing committees are:

Continuing Education (CE)

Digital Advisory (DAC)

Hospital Library Services (HLSP)

Technology Review and Advisory (TRAC)

Three new members added collections to HRVH.org:

Irvington Public Library, New Paltz Town Records, and

Putnam County NY History Collections

Continued contribution to Digital Public Library of

America (DPLA), led to an increase in members’

resources being used in new and interesting ways.

HRVH usage statistics are up 30% from 2014-2015.

HRVH Historical Newspapers had over 218,000 visits

and almost 11 million pages viewed.

2015-2016 at SENYLRC The past year has been an active one for us. In addition to the members

served this year by our programs and services, the Board of Trustees

has undertaken planning for Southeastern’s future. When finished, this

strategic plan will result in a 3-year plan for the council.

We are certain this plan will include ideas to grow and diversify our

programs and services. Member feedback indicates that networking

opportunities and more training are in demand. With that in mind, we

will explore ways to become a hub for members to keep their skills up-to

-date and to learn about technology and its application in libraries.

We are a network of libraries, archives, museums, and historical

societies. Between hosting Special Interest Groups, teaching members

how to digitize collections, and sharing materials with other libraries, we

are here to help you facilitate collaboration with similar organizations

and professionals in the region. Stay abreast of our latest initiatives via

our website, newsletter, and email communications!

Hospital Libraries

The Hospital Library Services

Program (HLSP) allows SENYLRC’s

hospital librarians the opportunity to

work collaboratively to enhance

services and meet increasing

demands for peer-reviewed literature.

HLSP also provides access to a

federated search system for one-stop

searching for all electronic resources,

reduced vendor pricing, and cost

savings thanks to a SENYLRC-

administered state subsidy.

The Medical Information Services

Program (MISP) subsidizes the

delivery of peer-reviewed medical

information to all types of libraries in

the region, including hospital, public,

school, and academic libraries.
