CLA Student Chapter Meeting

November 20, 2000

1.  Reports
Merinda McLure reported that she is still in the process of finding speakers for our next seminar on International Librarianship.
Stephanie Taggart reported that she has contacted Miriam Camthorne at the Museum of Anthropology and we could have a tour of the facility as early as January 24.

2.  Next Event
There was a great deal of discussion of other possible speakers for the seminar on International Librarianship. Merinda will make a posting to the SLAIS, SLA and BCLA listservs to see if there are any responses. The GSS Penthouse is available and Merinda will book the facility from 5-8 on January 15, 2000. Other options are too costly. A proposed budget will be submitted to LASSA in January and receipts presented to recoup funds. Tanya will prepare the posters over the Christmas break.

3.  Other Business

  • Cory Davis would like to organize a lunchtime event on digital copyright. He and other members of the group will investigate possible speakers for an event sometime in February.
  • Since there will be a new intake of students in January it was suggested that a meeting for new members should be held at the beginning of the month. Jordana will contact CLA to see if anyone will be available in the region to speak to the new students from the organization.
  • Deb suggested that a listing of the dates for our proposed events should be posted to the CLA and SLA discussion lists.
4.  Next Meeting
Our next meeting, to which new members will be invited, will be Monday January 8, 12:15-1:15, Rm. 835.
