Announcements

• There were no member announcements.
• Elizabeth mentioned that CARLI is “winding down” for the year; all currently scheduled continuing education programs are done.  The state passed a budget, but it’s too early yet to know the allocation for CARLI for next fiscal year.

Discussions

• Preservation Resources Webliography – reviewed the status of all remaining “pending” sections. 
• Annual Project/Newsletter Tips
  • Ann has written a draft summarizing the annual project; she should have the article ready in a couple of days.  
  • The Preservation Committee’s Annual Report and Summary Report of the annual project will be posted soon on the CARLI website, as part of the larger final report submitted to the CARLI Board about the activities and annual projects of all the CARLI committees.
• IFSI Burn Simulation and Recovery workshop, 6/13/2018
  • There was one cancellation, so one space is available at the workshop; let Elizabeth or Nicole know ASAP if any committee member knows of a co-worker interested in attending the workshop.
  • Final preparations for the workshop were reviewed; everything is ready; library materials and shelving donated by committee members and the UIUC should be sufficient for the burn demonstration and CARLI already has handout materials from the presenters.
  • Elizabeth said that an IFSI staff member will start off the workshop with a few welcoming remarks for participants; because the schedule is very full, the workshop will start promptly at 8:30.
  • If Elizabeth or Nicole need assistance during the check-in time, they will email the committee.
• Protective Enclosures, Spring 2019 – no news to report.
• Recruitment of new members – there will be 3 new members for the next term:  
  • Nora Gabor (DePaul University)
  • Tonia Grafakos (Northwestern University)
  • Will Schlaack (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
