Local Champions:
Kathy Plett of College of New Caledonia Library joined the Local Champions team.
Action: All to contact local champions by the end of September to give them the “heads up” on the fall campaign and tell them about the formalized connection with BC ELN.
Fall Campaign:
Nominate your colleagues great tutorials, guides, etc.
From our last newsletter,
"Fall Campaign Preview: Laud a Librarian
This is to give you a tantalizing glimpse of the fall 2008 promotion campaign. We all know that librarians are
perfectionists; our own work is never quite good enough for our standards. At the same time, we constantly see
colleagues turning out great guides, handouts, and webpages that we use all the time. Well, if our colleagues are
too shy to nominate their own work for inclusion in LINK, we'll just have to do it for them!
The fall campaign will ask you to let us know when you discover great guides and learning objects created
by librarians at your or other academic libraries. Maybe you're answering a question on AskAway and discover the
amazing resource that another librarian has put together. Well, don't keep it a secret! Let us know! We'll ask
that librarian for permission to include their learning object in LINK. This will help other librarians discover
that learning object too."
Action: Heather to ask Sunni about sending a message through Ask Away listserve. Sunni may have ideas too about best timing for Ask Away providers.
Action: All to think about prizes for December ALPS meeting.
