/* Area 3 — SERVICES */
<li>[[Library|LIBRARY]]
<ol type="A">
<li>To obtain and occupy rented facilities for our offices and library(Note: Consuls feel that "publicly accessible" facilities are needed.)
<ol type="1>
<li>Feasibility study - financial
<ol type="a">
<li>We have essentially conducted such recently. It would require an additional $12k/an income or an additional $250k in the Investment Fund. Both would need to increase to keep pace with inflation.</li>
<li>Renovations/Updates</li>
</ol></li>
<li>Furniture/Equipment(Note: Consuls believe that most needed furniture and equipment is already on hand.)</li>
</ol></li>
<li>''[[The Augustan Omnibus]]'' - Annually (Note: Presently published semi-annually.)
<ol type="i">
<li>Increase frequency(Note: The [[Editor-in-Chief]] does not believe that the flow of articles and reviews is sufficient to support a third issue per year.)</li> <li>Increase ''Omnibus'' average page count(Note: The Editor-in-Chief observes that this is limited by both articles and budget at present.)</li>
<li>Periodically evaluate design/layout to remain current within field</li>
<li>Subscription Development</li>
<li>Roll of Arms, Volume IV</li>
<ol type="a">
<li>''[[Roll of Arms|The Augustan Society Roll of Arms]]'' is mostly self-funding, thanks largely to print-on-demand technology. Promotion will likely require more funding than printing. Pre-publication sales should help with that.</li>
<li>Rolls Editor has been appointed</li>
</ol></li>
<li>''[[Rose Roll of Arms]]''
<ol type="a">
<li>This project has been approved by the Rose Council, and presently awaits input from the new [[Rose Herald]].</li>
<ol type="a">
<li>This is an ongoing project.</li>
<li>Off-site volunteers are needed to edit the output of the OCR software and to reformat the material for reprinting.(Note: The Editor-in-Chief observes that present volunteers outstrip the ability of staff to complete the work. Plans are to develop volunteer skills sufficient that little additional work is needed.)</li>
</ol></li>
<li>[[Online Index to Arms]]
<ol type="a">
<li>This is presently idle as we focus on the Armorial and Ordinary, but would be revived if a volunteer were found. (Note: An editor has been appointed, but is presently inactive due to health issues. Progress is unrelated to the Armorial and Ordinary.)</li>
</ol></li>
<li>Increase variety of media in which publications are presented (paper, digital, etc.) (long term goal)</li>
<li>[[Reprint Sales]]</li>
<li>[[Used Book Sales]](Note: Consuls observe that lack of time has prevented this project from progessing.)</li>
<li>[[Online Store]]</li>
<li>Main [[Website]]
<ol type="a">
<li>Our main web site is a fixed cost based on membership, no matter how large we make it. Our Store and Library sites combined cost less than $25/month(Note: Since reduced to less than $20/month), and it would take quite substantial growth to exceed that.</li>
