ISL test 1:Anne will give some qexamples of previous team projects.
Alysia Peich - Iowa:Sorry! There is a form on the webjunction site where you can tell us your community need and we can matchmake with other interested participatns.

Cheryl Walters:When you apply, is it enough to just provide the community need and not have a project in mind yet that will meet that need?
Christine Barth, Iowa:Thanks Alysia
Cherryl Walker 2:Alysia will work with you Christine concerning your questions - ther is a form on each state's page that will allow you to put your name in the hat if you do not have enough team members. This perhaps will allow you to hopefully connect with someone with a shared community need and join your team.
ISL test 1:Christine - each partner state has a "Be a part of a Team' form you can fill out and become part of a team.
Christine Barth, Iowa:Cool - we will look for that!
Christine Barth, Iowa:Thank you
Christine Barth, Iowa:Do we fill out the Be a Part of a Team form before we look at the rest of the application?
Becky Iowa:.
cswansen:Web junction URL was posted

Christine/Kris (Colorado):Colorado's apps are also fillable PDF's
Christine/Kris (Colorado):Colorado folks can contact Christine at
Monique:iowa's app doesn't have that first requirement. can you tell us what the IA requirement for team makeup is in terms of library type
Alysia Peich - Iowa:You're right Monique. Iowa's application is a little different, and multitype libraries aren't required but they are definitely encouraged.
Angie:Could your team have a member from a museum?
Katie Campbell- Ohio:Angie, what state are you from?
Angie:I'm from Iowa
Christine Barth, Iowa:If we have members from multiple communities working on one project, do we need to identify a community user from each of those communities?
ISL test 2:Partner states please feel free to respond to the chat request if it originates from your state please
Alysia Peich - Iowa:Angie, let's discuss more - the project is inteded for librarians, but I'd like to hear more about what you're thinking. Can you email me at ?
Alysia Peich - Iowa:Christine - each team member has to have a community user, so yes, there should be a community user from each of those represented.
Jeanne:If you have 2 library types from the same city, do you expect some overlap in the statement of need?
cswansen:If your team members are from other communities ...should we focus on the needs rather than each community?
Christine/Kris (Colorado):Hello Charlene! On the individual application you describe your community....but as a group try and find a common community need all can address...
cswansen:Thanks!
Bill Erbes, Illinois:Do we need one community representative for the project or one for each individual team member?
