Was in the city this past Friday for the first ACRL/NY Symposium and Executive Board meetings of the year. It was a small group, but productive. The Symposium committee reviewed the results of December 2008’s symposium evaluations and attendee statistics. We also discussed themes for this year’s symposium, but nothing final on that. We also need to change the venue and we discussed that. Luckily, Baruch College, where we have held the symposium in the past, has another space. So, between the two meetings three of us went to look at the other space. It is very nice and could work really well, so it looks like that is what we are going to go with. So, mark your calendars, the 2009 ACRL/NY Symposium will be on December 4th at Baruch College. Keep an eye out for information on the new venue.
The Executive Board met at 1:30. We didn’t get into any deep discussions beyond regular reports submitted by those who attended, but we did talk about the format of our newsletter, print is definitely less desirable these days. So our new editor is going to pilot an electronic version very soon. And, we are going to have a Facebook page! So, come find us on Facebook under organizations.
And if you want to join either group, make sure you visit the ACRL/NY website for contact information.
