The CARLI Public Services Committee invites CARLI members to an informal Zoom discussion about student employee supervision facilitated by Charity Ringel (UIS) and Kristen Blankenship (UIUC). This event is intended for student supervisors and those interested in learning more about student supervision. Topics could include anything from hiring and training to mentoring, providing feedback, scheduling, budgets, and more! Participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences as well as any documentation or resources they’ve created, and any resources that participants are comfortable distributing to the group will be shared with all attendees after the session. 

Bring your snacks, your questions, and any resources or examples you’d like to show! Whether you’re new to supervising or have years of experience, we hope you’ll leave with fresh perspectives and practical ideas for supporting your student staff.  

This session is open to all CARLI members. 

The session will not be recorded. 

Please register by 5:00pm on Friday, November 14. Connection information will be shared on Monday, November 17th.

Contact the CARLI Office at support@carli.illinois.edu if you have any questions.

Libraries across the nation are facing challenges as they try to assess and fix the accessibility of their A/V content with regard to the new Title II regulations that will go into effect in April of 2026. Each library will face its own unique challenges; however, there are some common considerations that library workers should know.  

In this fourth webinar of CARLI's ADA Title II Toolkit for Libraries series, Ann Fredricksen will share ways in which libraries can start thinking about tackling the A/V material on their websites, strategies for working with smaller vendors to improve the accessibility of their content, and emerging AI tools that can be utilized to reduce the workload.
