Preservation Working Group Minutes June 2, 1008
Conference Call
Members attending: Kathy Boyens (Olivet Nazarene University), Anne McKearn (Aurora University), Alyce Scott (Illinois State Library), Jennifer Hain Teper (University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign), Lynne Thomas (Northern Illinois University)
Members absent: Kim Hale (Columbia College Chicago)
Staff attending: Elizabeth Clarage
I. News and Announcements: Anne McKearn offered to take minutes of the meeting. II. Status of the Webliography - Elizabeth has moved all entries with five or more initials to the main Preservation Links page.
- Group agreed that the items with four initials do not need to be reviewed; the list has a wealth of valuable information and is ready to be published.
- We agreed to check links every three months.
- A disclaimer and comment on link-checking were added to the Introduction.
- Elizabeth reported two links not working; she will delete broken link to glossary.
- Elizabeth will notify us when our page is published.
III. Programs - Because the six-month lead time required by CARLI for scheduling programs begins at the date it is approved by the Program Committee, the group agreed to hold the AV/photographs workshop in the spring and the Fire Institute in the summer.
- Jennifer reported that CPL may have a presenter for photographs, but needs date and place before committing. There are two UIUC staff members who could present on AV.
- Jennifer reported that the Fire Institute can do the book-burning presentation again.
- Our AV/photograph session will be scheduled for March or April depending on what other CARLI programs are on the calendar--paperwork must be submitted in August or September.
- CCAHA AV workshop
- Jennifer will look into the possibility of CCAHA bringing their AV workshop to Chicago and ask if they can do a one-day version.
- Elizabeth suggested that CARLI might subsidize members’ attendance and then open the workshop to others at full cost.
IV. Other Business - Elizabeth reminded us of plan to include a few paragraphs on preservation topics in the CARLI newsletter.
- Suggested topics:
Mold
- Preservation blogs
- Interlibrary loan shipping issues
- Tape is evil
- Newsletter could refer to the CARLI blog for more detailed explanation.
- Elizabeth reported that new members of the WG have not yet been appointed. (Both Jennifer and Lynne have applied for re-appointment.)
- Checking broken links in the Webliography: Elizabeth will divide the links among us and send assignments with a reminder to check these before our August meeting.
- Jennifer will send us an email to schedule our August meeting—it will be held in the new CARLI office.
