I am charged with updating the bylaws and we recently agreed that #1 below needed to be done. Number 3 is just something I've been thinking about. So here are the changes I'm proposing. You should have received the actual document on the listserv.
1. Revise the word "consortium" to "organization" or "association" since we agreed the definition has changed since the 1970's when the "Metroplex Consortium" first started.
2. Take care of some standardization on the capitalization.
3. Add geographic wording to the category "Associate Individual Membership." I added the statement “or do not live in the north central Texas area” so that it would cover our various friends and ex-members who want to continue to receive information or be on the mailing list. We already include that term in the description of our Institutional Members.
The idea is that if someone wants to make the effort to participate we should encourage them, but at the same time this is a group aimed at the “north central Texas area.” We try to hold our programs in areas most of our members can reach.
Please feel free to discuss these on the listserv -- or the blog!! or contact me if you can't post and want to comment.
Thanks! Mary Peters

HealthLINE Blog- New & Improved!
Blogger released a lot of cool new templates and options for blogs this weekend, so I've made some changes to the HealthLINE blog. The format and color are hopefully a little more pleasing. I've also added a list of all the institutions affiliated with HealthLINE. For most, I've linked to the library's page. When I couldn't find the library's page, I linked to the homepage of the institution . If you find that I've missed your library, let me know.
