November 13, 2020 Council Meeting @ VIRTUAL / LACUNY Update
« Last post by Rebecca Hyams on January 15, 2021, 09:57:58 AM »There's not too much new going on down here with LACUNY right now. The main thing right now is continuing the planning for the LACUNY Institute where there's been a lot of discussion about registration costs (as in, should there be any?) and Zoom logistics. If a CFP goes out (they did offer those who sent proposals last year to stay under consideration for this year) I'll send it over.
Also, the next LACUNY Dialogues will take place on February 19th in the afternoon. The theme is: '“Can you all hear me...I think you muted yourself”: Learning to Work in a Remote Age and Staying Sane'.

« Last post by esimmon4 on January 15, 2021, 09:27:54 AM »Alfred C. O'Connell library is welcoming Jessica Hibbard as Associate Dean – Library and Academic Support Services. Jessica is not a librarian but has worked as a Campus Center dean for over ten years. She brings a positive energy and strong admin experience to the library, and we're happy to have her.
We have been offering virtual services but also have been open M-F 9-4 and will continue those hours. We will be resuming our Course Reserves services for the Spring semester.

We are working on updating the Exit Survey.
At this point the draft survey is getting very long I try to incorporate the input I received.
I am looking for a few volunteers to offer suggestions on ways to make the survey more user-friendly and / or perhaps change the platform (currently it is in Google Forms).
If you, or someone you know, would like to be a part of this endeavor, please contact me mtimmons@monroecc.edu
Respectfully Submitted,

January 15, 2021 Council Meeting @ VIRTUAL / President's Report
« Last post by cg219 on January 14, 2021, 06:49:02 PM »President's Report January 2021
Happy New Year! Hope everyone is safe, healthy, and happy.
On December 11, we hosted the virtual happy hour - Holiday Ugly Sweater event. Thanks to Jill for the Zoom coordination. It was several hours of fun and there was a request to host a regular Zoom happy hour.
I contacted the SUNYLA Archivist for an update, since there has been little communication in that area. There is a report.
Review of the Mentor Award (under Old Business)
The Wind Beneath Our Wings Award (WBOWA)
Mentors are vital for the professional growth of library professionals. This award honors and encourages the efforts and dedication of individuals in the library field who have demonstrated exceptional commitment with mentoring members of SUNYLA. It acknowledges support a SUNYLA member received to expand their knowledge and expertise within the library and information field.
Award criteria
Eligibility for the Award acknowledges mentorship support of one or more SUNYLA members to reach professional goals within a SUNYLA library.
Nominators must be a current SUNYLA member in good standing for at least 2 years.
Award recipients do not need to be SUNYLA members.
A nomination letter highlighting the nominee’s mentoring activities and how they have made and impact for at least one SUNYLA member's library career.
We had one comment regarding Bylaw Draft (under Old Business) :
I am curious about this in the bylaws:
3.3 Student membership is available to individuals enrolled at least half-time in a library or information science program, provided they are not eligible for another membership category. After leaving school, the former student member may renew SUNYLA membership as a first-time member.
>>> Why not eliminate the "at least half-time" language?
