New Selection System - work continues on the new system and it is on schedule for testing in June.

Usage Statistics - Cindy is preparing usage statistics for the board for some of the CARLI subsidized products.  CPC members provided input on the possible reasons for decreasing usage numbers for some of these products.

Elizabeth provided an update of the CARLI eBook PDA Program that ended recently.
