RAILS Consortia Committee & Futures Subcommittee on 7/20
by Aaron Skog 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

SWAN Board Members: There are two upcoming RAILS meetings being held Monday 7/20 that you should make sure to attend either as a group or with your designated representatives. This would mean Rich and Pierre. However, with changes within the SWAN Board for its officers and committees obviously Rich and Pierre will not be serving in this capacity. I suggest coordinating with Brande since I will be on vacation for this event. From what I see and have gotten wind of for the Futures Subcommittee, this will entail a new definition of what it means to be an LLSAP. If those of you needed to choose the morning meeting or the afternoon meeting, I suggest the afternoon Futures Subcommittee which is going to be the more weighty discussion that could quite easily define what SWAN will focus on as an organization for the next 3 years. Register in L2 or reply to this board email list. Brande can release emails to the list while I am gone. RAILS Consortia Committee (Rich): 9:30AM http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=19081 RAILS Consortia Futures Subcommittee (Pierre): 1:00PM http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=20311 Both Rich and Pierre should pay attention to documents shared for those meetings and forward them on to the SWAN Board. Brande will also make sure to acquire those meeting documents, and is planning on attending both meetings.

by Brande Overbey 18 Jun '15

Hello all, Just wanted to send a quick email to let you know that we will NOT be in our usual conference room A tomorrow, but instead in B. A was already booked way back when I first made the meeting, but I neglected to mention this change in yesterday's email. B is the other small conference room, off the side hallway a little further into the building. See you tomorrow, Brande Overbey SWAN Office Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5164 Fax: 630.734.5056 brande.overbey(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:brande.overbey@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net
