Updates:

• Fall Article Club
  • Feedback seemed to be largely positive.
  • Questions should, in future, probably go out in advance. This was a suggestion from the feedback.
  • Two moderators proved necessary and some participants may have had trouble keeping up with both the conversation and the chat.
  • Several folks mentioned in the feedback that they liked the option of having both chat and conversation as an option, despite possible difficulties with keeping up with both.
• Spring Article Club, Webinar, & Twitter Chat
  • Marielle had a meeting with Stephanie Bluemle about her article for the article club and Stephanie is interested in participating in the call/conversation about the article.
  • Marielle also mentioned the possibility of a webinar (possibly as a follow-up to the article club) and Stephanie was interested and open to this possibility. Stephanie was also interested in possibly doing the webinar as a panel and was keen not to be seen as “the expert” on this topic.
  • A call will be made for presenters for a post-article-club webinar as a panel.

Tasks assigned:

• Marielle will check with Stephanie Bluemle on both of the dates (article club and webinar) and topic for the webinar.
• Amy and Marielle will collaborate on the call verbiage for the email to request participants in the webinar (panel).
• Amy and Marielle will reach out to Kristin (Harper College) and report back next meeting.
• Lorna and Debbie will reach out to Harper College about boxed lunches, etc.
• Josh will send a Google Form with the potential hashtags for the December Twitter Chat to the committee members for voting.
• Marielle will send out a graphic for the December Twitter Chat and reach out to Mackenzie Salisbury about possibly getting an ACRL retweet.
