Just a few quick updates.
I want to thank Delegates for providing their campus updates in the forums, and for those who have not there is still time to do so. We love getting to know what you are all doing at your libraries!
The NOVELNY Task Force Meeting October 19th and OLIS Advisory Board Meeting November 13th provided some updates and action items for the continued issue of NOVELNY defunding. At this time there is a lot happening at the legislative level.
EIT Accessibility has been a hot topic of conversation lately with much of it based around higher education accessibility lawsuits, complaints, and settlements. In fact just a few weeks ago at the SUNY Library Director meeting, there was a presentation and lengthy discussion on EIT Accessibility lead by Rebecca Oling and Carli Spina. I felt strongly that this conversation was worth having with the SUNYLA Council so I invited Rebecca and Carli to present today during New Business covering EIT Accessibility issues we are facing, the support and role our libraries can play, and what our opportunities are.
As the end of the semester quickly races toward us, I want to wish everyone well as the final weeks of classes approach us. Throwing out some positive vibes onto you all to hopefully spread those vibes to your campuses and students. Which if you are like our campus is much more preferable than the COVID that is spreading.
Thank you all for your tireless work once again.
