SUMMIT – JUNE 6-7, GENERAL BUTLER SRP
Chair pointed out that we needed a title for keynoter, Sue Polanka’s presentation on e-books soon. Also, Georgetown College is hosting an e-book conference on June 7 and 8, thus dovetailing with our Summit on June 6 – 7. Naulayne stressed that the Executive Committee encourage our Summit audience to make the effort to attend the GC conference or a portion thereof.
Adam Murray detailed his suggestions for facilitating the breakout sessions:
- · Involve the librarians who will be attending the Summit on June 6;
- · Invite them to form groups and come up with topics for discussion;
- · This will get more librarians involved in FoKAL;
- · Hold a workshop or breakout session after keynoter;
- · Adam – mentioned his wife’s “Call to Action” or “Challenge” methods to encourage group decision-making and follow-up -- each group to devise a plan for action;
- · Adam to post a call to action form on FoKAL wiki before EC’s next conference call;
Adam also offered to introduce our summit keynoter (Sue Polanka) as he’s been a strong advocate on his campus for transitioning to e-books;
Library Discount Network
No report or update – Anne Abate was attending the Charleston, SC [library] Conference.
