Decisions

• The Committee approved the minutes from the April 18, 2018, meeting.
• The meeting was adjourned at 10:55 AM.

Announcements

• The Committee will have four new members for 2018-2019, assuming all of them accept the invitation to serve. Three of them will replace current Committee members whose terms are expiring (Kelly, Amanda, and Jen); a fourth will take over Lisa’s spot- she has decided to leave the committee since her job responsibilities are changing and are no longer directly related to resource sharing. The 2018-2019 Committee members will meet in person at the CARLI Office in July or August, depending on everyone’s schedule.
• The CARLI staff members are adapting well to the remodeled office and have been using the reconfigured space for various events, including an institute for new library directors, along with acquisitions and cataloging training.
• Registration for the Instruction Showcase (May 31 at Dominican University) officially closed on May 14, with 83 registrants. CARLI will accept late registration through the end of May 16.

Discussion

• Annual Project:
  • The CARLI Board will have its next quarterly meeting on June 15, at which time it will review the annual project.
    • The deadline for submitting the project is May 31.
    • The Committee decided to set May 23 as the due date for a final draft of the project, giving Debbie and Lorna a week to review it and make any changes.
  • The Committee reviewed the current version of the project in the shared Google doc.
    • At this point, no major changes are needed.
    • The various Subcommittees will complete their assigned tasks by the May 23 deadline (see specific tasks below).
