Decisions:

  • Minutes of the 8/8/18 meeting were approved prior to the meeting.
  • The meeting was adjourned at 1:30pm.
  • The theme for the year will be Library Instruction for Diverse Populations
    • We will host webinars in December and March on these topics.
      • A panel might be a good idea so we can discuss numerous populations in one webinar.
    • Finalize speaker by November for the December webinar.
      • Speaker agreement has to be filled out before the webinar takes place.
      • Honorarium for speakers from non-CARLI-member-libraries is not out of the question, but it does have to go through the board.
    • Populations to focus on include: LGBTQ+ (especially gender issues), First Generation, and International Students

Announcements:

  • CARLI did get the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program grant, in the amount of $243,885. "CARLI Counts: Analytics and Advocacy for Service Development," is a three-year project beginning October 1, 2018
  • There are still workshops on Voyager Access Reporting upcoming; even if they are full there is a waitlist
  • New VuFind: course reserve link has been adjusted, otherwise recent changes have been minor

Tasks assigned:
