Meeting: May 11, 2010

Meeting Date: Tuesday May 11, 2010
Time: 12:15 pm – 1pm
Location: NCB 266

Chair: Leigh-Ann Cerka

Introductions

  • Who we are?

    • Partnership between the CLA and the MLIS students.

  • What we do?

    • Leigh-Ann: Discussion of library tours, mentorship program,
      networking events between professionals and students. Fundraising, past
      participation, with a focus on professional events.
    • First event is in process: Career Development Workshop – Saturday
      May 29th.
    • List of open positions circulated and volunteers welcomed.

  • What we would like to do this term?

    • Ideas and volunteers for library tours and mentorship program,
      networking events.

Career Development Workshop

  • Discussion: Should it be a large or smaller event? Consensus - smaller,
    students could get more out of it. Potentially under 50 students. Smaller
    group context would encourage interaction.
  • Agenda of workshop: Up for discussion.
  • Date/Time: Location would be an issue if it had to be held in a larger
    lecture hall based on attendance. Possibility to run one each term.
  • Ticket Sales: Do we want to put a cap on the number of tickets? Request
    for volunteers at lunch in between classes to sell tickets outside the GRC.
  • Ticket sales volunteers signed up (attached at bottom of minutes)

Allocation of Roles, and Discussions of Future Meetings

  • Discussion of what the roles would include.
  • Meetings will start out weekly and switch to potentially every second
    week.

Mentorship

  • Getting started – Can be done mostly home. Book passed around to explain
    job descriptions.
  • Speakers
  • Possible speakers?
    • Ontario Police College
    • University of Guelph

Fundraising

  • Discussion of new ideas for fundraising.

    • Buttons
    • Bake sale – two were done last term, both relatively successful.
    • Coffee Mugs, (will be price dependent whether travel or regular.)
      T-shirts
    • Suggested idea: Used book sale
    • Suggested Idea: Campus photographs printed up as postcards or actual
      cards could be sold for revenue

Web site

  • Update events and executive
  • Facebook page: All the student groups have a Facebook page – but email
    and networking might be more effective.
  • Whether or not pictures will be included on the website – will be
    determined later.

Agenda For Next Meeting

  • Working on CLA website to include meeting information.
  • Firm up schedule of events for next term.
