Reflection on One-Shot Article Discussion

• 55 participants. Good attendance and it went very smoothly.
• Great Google document with comments. Lots of discussion & conversations.
• There was a follow-up program request, which could be a possible future program.
• Feedback from DePaul colleagues:
  • Really hard for people to engage with document and participate in conversation. Difficult to follow discussion.
  • Possible breakout rooms if there are enough committee members to moderate.
• Committee will think about ways to provide time for Zoom conversations along with the Google document, or encourage additions to the document before the event.

Update on offer to publish a column in Internet Reference Services Quarterly

• Editor reached out to the committee to publish an article about our document
• IRB questions for publishing without consent for program participants.
  • The journal editors said IRB is not needed as long as statements are general.
  • Best practice for full quotes is to reach out to the commentator/participants.
• Committee leadership offered to collaborate on another program if there was interest.
• Notification of interest in publishing details of programs should be included in the invitation / announcement for the event.

Event Planning for Early 2023 - Ideas Discussed

• January reflection space event idea
  • Resource Sharing Committee Meeting - Had a “Semester check-in” meeting in December which went well. A Semester Check In for January may be a nice fit.
