| Project / Program purpose and objectives | The 2013 Legislature approved $25,000 (OTO) funds from July 1, 2013-June 30, 2014, to support a part-time temporary hire to convert Montana analog cassette titles to digital format. During that time 25%, or 265 titles, of the cassette collection was converted, leaving 75%, or about 700 titles, yet to be converted. Completing this project was identified as a priority during the executive planning processes for both the 2015 and 2017 legislative session however the State Library has not been funded to complete this work. The need to complete this conversion is now critical because The National Library Service no longer supports analog cassettes and the C-1 players used to play cassettes in MSL’s collection are at end of life and should be decommissioned. However, the State Library cannot decommission our C-1 machines while TBL patrons still rely on them to listen to our remaining analog collection |
