I don't have all or the exact citations at my fingertips, but California did have a statewide cooperative, I believe run by the State Library, which later disbanded.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello wonderful VR group,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I just want to run this by you: PatJohn Ashkin and I had a conversation this morning and I thought it might be helpful for him if he could attend our next VR meeting, to meet with us and learn more about what goes on behind the scenes.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PatJohn recently moved to California. He was previously working for Florida’s Ask a Librarian service. There, he found that he really has a passion for virtual reference service and would like to explore the possibility of starting a
statewide service in California. Needless to say, this is a huge undertaking. Each of you have so much to offer someone like PatJohn, with your experience and advice, as he learns about the pros/cons, how to submit a proposal for state funding/support, etc.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What do you think about having him join us at the next meeting? Would it be acceptable to have him ask the group questions in that format?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s fun to think that this has come full circle. Susan McGlamery, the founder of the 24/7 Cooperative, started in California I believe. I was thinking that it would be helpful for him to talk to her about the history but I am out of
touch with her. Does anyone have her contact info?<u></u><u></u></p>
