[VIPcommittee] Another scheduling wrinkle

[Beth Farmer]

Committee-

 

All of this discussion about the timing of the VIP workshop combined
with the discussion from our last meeting about libraries ability to
send staff in 2009 seems to suggest we need a face-to-face meeting to
hash this out and make some decisions.  


We were originally planned to have a meeting this Friday, September
12th.  However, that conflicts with the TBLC Board of Directors meeting.
I have asked Marcia to check the availability of their meeting room for
another Friday in September.  

 

Look for an email from my shortly with some dates proposed.

 

 

Beth

Well, it would mean for SPC that we could not send all paraprofessionals
as in years past.  But I don't see that as a reason to make a change for
the greater good.

I like the idea of fall too. Is that a possibility?

I like the fall idea!  But only if it's not too close to the start of
classes.  

 

I've been talking with Charlie (Parker) about the possibility of a
centralized statewide professional development calendar that would help
with scheduling conflicts.  I'm thinking here of fall and the annual
FACRL meeting and know we wouldn't want to compete with that.  This year
the TBLC Annual Meeting is being on the same day as FACRL - not nice for
us academic librarians who have just this one day meeting each year.
Anyway, I wondered if that might be function FLA would want to attempt.
A little off-topic here, but it is something that could really be
helpful even it weren't absolutely  comprehensive.

I honestly think that keeping it in May is a good idea, if we can.  So
the 22nd is fine by me.  The other option is to change it so radically
(fall-ish) that it's "new."  

An added benefit to changing it that way is that we can truly look at
revamping the schedule (maybe do it biannually instead of annually) to
better suit the economic realities of the time.

	Group-

	 

	The large room we need for the group activities at the VIP
workshop is not fully available on the 15th.  The only option that is
still available (other than the 8th) is the 22nd.  I think we will have
to move it here.  Does everyone agree?

	 

	My apologies to the staff at SPC who will have to make some
changes to their usual practices regarding this event.
