OPENING
Meeting called to order at 10:15 a.m. by Rochelle Logan. Rochelle thanked Stacey Nagle for running the last meeting and Bruce Raymond for his work on the LISA web page and list serv. We all survived the accreditation visit (yeah).
Stacey mentioned that the summer issue of the LISA newsletter was passed out in classes and is available on the LISA website. Beth Wrenn-Estes, the editor, once again did a wonderful job. All LISV students may submit articles/columns to Beth and are encouraged to do so! Jean will start mailing the newsletter out to prospective students.
OLD BUSINESS
All old business was discussed under officer reports.
TREASURER REPORT
State of the account is $438.
PROGRAMS
Marcy thanked everyone who helped out with the LISA session on practicums. Twenty-six people came. Thanks also to Keith Lance and the Library Research Service for donating funds for food. Marcy also recommended that LISA hold this session every six months.
Marcy said that she has two preliminary programs started for next fall. She has asked Camila Alire if she is interested in holding another session on resume writing and interviewing with students. She has expressed interest. No date is set as of yet; the new program coordinator will need to work that out. The second program for next fall would be a public, school, and academic librarian seminar similar to the one for special libraries. The LISA picnic is
today, starting directly after the meeting in front of the GCB building.
SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE
Deb Nelson reported that there was no new news on the LISA scholarship fund. She asked for more volunteers to help get everything started. She will put a notice in the next LISA newsletter asking for volunteers. Right now the committee consists of Deb and Roger Greer (faculty advisor).
PEER RESOURCE BOARD
Stacey Nagle reported for Martin Garnar. The two student representatives of the peer resource board will be Kay Fair and Marcy Phelps. They will spend the summer quarter developing procedures and getting organized and will be ready for consultation by the fall. Thanks to all students who volunteered to serve.
NEW BUSINESS
Stacey (again for Martin) asked for student volunteers to present at the CLA conference in Snowmass next October. Students are invited to select a paper or presentation from a past class and present a 5-7 minute talk as part of a panel. While we have some interested students, we need more! Contact Martin Garnar via phone or e-mail if you are interested. There will be a meeting held later on in the month to discuss ideas and listen to the experiences of past presenters.
Rochelle discussed elections for the next LISA board. Deb Grealy, LISA faculty advisor, will accept ballots again. The election and campaign will be electronic again this year. Nominations will be sent to Rochelle and she will put up a slate of candidates on the website and list serve. There were no objections to using electronic ballots or to the proposed time line. The dates of the election will be posted to the LISA list and on the LISA web site.
Our first graduates are: Chris Brown, Ann Seidl, Gillian Harrison, Cheryl Mitze, Morganna Wagner, Thyria Wilson, Jennifer Sleeth, Linda Oliver, Linda Brown. Congrats to them all!
There will be an accreditation party on the 15th of September at the Tennis Pavilion of the Phipps Mansion. All LISV students, faculty, staff, and advisory board members are invited to attend.
Friday, Sept. 3rd at 6 p.m. there will be a LISA executive board meeting with old and new officers to hand over materials. Location to be announced. The meeting was adjourned at 11 a.m.
