  • The call for papers will be posted to the website for the Showcase.

 

CARLI Instruction Committee Local Meetings

  • The group reviewed which member institutions could host and discussed whether a poll should be sent out to members about possible locations for local meetings. The committee decided to select locations as a pilot and not survey.
  • Local meeting discussions would need to be moderated by the committee member at the host institution or someone from another nearby institution. Questions for discussion will be sent in advance to registrants. CARLI will handle registration and order catering.  
  • We discussed different models for meetings (two locations, same topic, different months). In-person CARLI events have not been held for several years. Debbie provided examples of meeting planning by other CARLI committees.
  • Committee would start with a meeting in April at Elgin Community College.
  • Action Items
    • Committee members should consider possible keynote speakers for the showcase based on one of the four topics of the showcase.
    • The Showcase call for proposals will be shared at the January event.
    • Alex, Denise, Debbie and Stacy will discuss the local meeting at Elgin Community College for planning at February meeting
