 President's Message 

Thoughts from our President, Kelly Janousek

I saw several of you as I zipped in and out of Zoom during the CARL 2020 Conference. I hope you enjoyed the conference as much as I did. The theme (Embracing courage, candor, and authenticity in academic libraries) could not have been timelier.

Both keynote speakers mentioned how worn out they were from all the marches and COVID-19 happenings. I hope you are taking care of yourself. With all the unknowns and changes, take downtime to relax and precautions to stay healthy.  

As of yet, many of us do not know when our libraries will open again or how we will work. Please reach out to your colleagues in CARL if you need best practices for how to do this; after all, librarians are not shy about helping out.  
One of the presidential duties I enjoy is announcing the CARL awardees, so in case you missed it, here they are:

CARL Awardees

The Ilene F. Rockman CARL/ACRL Conference Scholarship, providing $500 to attend the CARL Conference, was awarded to:

Ginny Barnes, First-Year Student Success Librarian at California State University, Fresno. She joins the library community in California having completed her MSIS at the University of Texas at Austin this past May. Ginny is passionate about critical pedagogy, active learning, and incorporating zines as learning objects in the classroom.

Diego Coaguila, First-Year Experience and Student Success Librarian at Occidental College. He reaches a diverse community of incoming students by supporting information literacy and research skills. A background in psychology and activism inform his student-centered and intersectional pedagogical approach. 

The CARL Outstanding Member was awarded to:

Joseph Aubele, Psychology & Social Work Librarian at CSU Long Beach. Joseph is recognized for his service as the CARL Conference Site Manager (three times) and the CARL Membership Director. He has also served on the CARL Conference Planning Committee (five times) and the CARL Executive Board. Joseph has helped the CARL Board identify potential membership management platforms. This involved shepherding the board through the platform selection process and migrating data to the new platform.

Talitha Matlin, STEM Librarian at CSU San Marcos. Talitha is recognized for being a fantastic leader and hard worker for CARL. She started as the SCIL publicist in 2010, moving up through SCIL Chair and CARL Presidency in 2018 when then President and Conference Chair suddenly resigned. As President, she had a major role in updating the CARL bylaws. She also spearheaded the New Member Working Group, whose goal is to create a digital information packet on member benefits and how to get involved.

Congratulations to all of the awardees!

Congratulations to all of you CARL Members. I see the interest groups are ramping up to help continue our strong professional development offerings. CARL Community College members are meeting to talk and compare notes.

Finally, watch for a call for nominations to the 2021 CARL Executive Board. The call for nomination will be for a Vice-President and Member-at-large representing CSU and UC. This is a rewarding organization and an easy one to work with.

Announcements

Announcing the creation of the Gayatri Singh Award for Inclusive Excellence in Library Programs and Exhibits
CARL is pleased to announce the creation of an award to honor the memory of longterm member and board member, Gayatri Singh. Gayatri most recently served as the UC Director-at-Large, although she had been involved in various capacities with the CARL Executive Board and the CARL interest groups for many years.

Although her roles and responsibilities as the Reference and Information Services Coordinator and Librarian for Communication at the University of California, San Diego were many and varied, one of the constants in her work was her commitment to providing events and programs that fostered diversity, equity, and inclusion in her community. The CARL board is honored to be able to continue Gayatri's work in this way, by recognizing others in the California library community who continue to foster these same values of diversity, equity, and inclusion that were a hallmark of Gayatri's professional and personal life. 

Please see the below description of the Gayatri Singh Award for Inclusive Excellence in Library Programs and Exhibits. Application requirements and timelines will soon be posted to the CARL website. 

Description
This biennial award recognizes diverse, inclusive, and equitable programs and exhibits in an academic library setting that has been active in the previous two years. The award honors Gayatri Singh's professional contributions, especially through events and programming that foster diversity, equity, and inclusion, to the California academic library community.

Award
$1,000 award and a plaque. Award winners will be honored at the CARL Awards Luncheon held during the biennial CARL Conference.

Eligibility
Individuals or groups from academic institutions in California are eligible to receive the award. At least one of the nominees must be a CARL member. 

Criteria
Nominees for the award should demonstrate excellence in programming or exhibits that foster diversity, equity, and inclusion in an academic library setting. Examples of programming could include (but are not limited to):
  • Workshops hosted by the library
  • "One book" / Common Reads
  • Mentorship programs
  • Film screenings
  • Exhibits
  • Author talks

Community Colleges Meet-Ups
As the Director-at-large for Community Colleges, Mario Macías has begun hosting weekly meet-ups via Zoom for all library workers in the community colleges of California. These meet-ups are intended to be informal gathering spaces for folks to converse about topics pertaining to community college libraries.

One goal of the meet-ups is to identify topics of interest for summer 2020 on this Padlet page. After the UnConference event in May of 2019 at Pasadena City College, some organizers began a Slack channel, which has been reactivated to foster community.

Mario has called for mentors who would be interested in creating a webinar about job finding in the context of community college employment and the LIS field at large. The group is starting to coordinate this webinar program, and plans to host the event sometime in August. Please reach out to Mario soon if you would like to volunteer: maciasm2@laccd.edu

Mario hopes to connect with librarians and library staff across the state, to motivate and uplift each other as our nation faces Capitalist, White Supremacist violence across all levels of higher education and our society.

  Member Spotlight 


Why did you join CARL? What do you most enjoy about being a CARL member?
As an early-career librarian and someone new to California, I wanted to make new connections and learn from folks. I really enjoyed attending the virtual CARL conference and was honored to be recognized as one of the Ilene F. Rockman Scholarship recipients.

Are you working on anything special right now or in the near future you'd like to share with other CARL members?
Our library was awarded the Lift Every Voice: Why African American Poetry Matters grant from the Library of America. This will support two virtual programs for Spring 2021 involving a writing workshop and slam poetry performance from local artists. I'm excited to collaborate with my friend and Fresno State English professor, Venita Blackburn, who will be leading the workshop. We have a really vibrant literary community in Fresno, and I'm glad these programs can provide a platform for Black voices.

How are you planning on providing instruction in the Fall? Are there any unique strategies you plan to use?
Yes, and I will be including a mix of asynchronous and synchronous instruction including online tutorials, recorded lectures, and in-class zoom presentations. While I am preparing the asynchronous materials over this summer, I am being flexible with my approach to in-class instruction. I want to try a few different strategies, assess, adapt, repeat. Openness to change is important for me, especially as I, like many, are new to online teaching.

What’s something you recently read/watched/listened to that you can’t stop thinking about? Why?
The story "Evidence" by Alexis Pauline Gumbs from the collection Octavia's Brood got me good. The story looks at a collection of messages and artifacts from our "future ancestors" and their journey to utopia. The perspective has been motivating, encouraging me to imagine what personal and societal healing and justice could look like, and the work it will take to reach that point.

We recently started this Member Spotlight column to highlight one amazing CARL member per quarter. Do you have a colleague you'd like to recommend? Email the Editor for more information at carlnewsletter@gmail.com

4. Item: Board Alignments (Kelly & Rachel)
a. Responsibilities of DALS
b. Appointments

Discussion:
a. Responsibilities of DALS
  • Board alignments with constitution rules and bylaws; currently we have 3 responsibilities for DAL and need to determine how we distribute those.
  • Is the appointment going to be for one or two years?
  • Ken: Logical for term to be two years to ensure follow through on projects.   
Action Item: Kelly: Will set up a conference call w/DALs to determine term duration. Ask DALs what their preferences are after one year; also address expectations of
  • Lee: Recommends one-year; directors who continue on can indicate whether they want to stay with their current role or do something new. These positions aren’t so complex that they can’t be switched up every year.
Action Item: Kelly will make a call for a new mentorship coordinator.
  • Kelly: Some of these roles will have more duties in some years than others.
  • Margot: Concurs with Lee - one year term is good with continuing directors making the choice to stay.       
  • Andrew: If we were to look for another membership director in a year, can we not have the new person moving to a new system during conference year? It’s a really difficult transition.
  • Lucy: Agrees to renew after the first-year.         
  • Kelly: To remind everyone, the current positions are IG coordinator, Advocacy Liaison, Awards Liaison, ACRL Chapter delegate  
b. Appointments
  • Kelly: David Drexler has agreed to continue work with website; also put out a call for newsletter editor and received interest from Paizha Stoothoff (CSULA - Humanities Librarian).      
  • Board made a motion to approve Paizha as the newsletter editor.
  • Mario: Will help Paizha get acclimated to the role.
  • Kelly: The hope is to get a newsletter out before the conference.
  • Lee: Ethan expressed that he would like to step down from the role.
5. Item: Award Gayatri Singh - provides $1000 for DEI areas (Lalitha, Kelly)
a. Status and Subcommittee
11:15
        
Discussion:
a. Status and Subcommittee
  • Kelly: Will plan some sort of opportunity drawing or fundraising effort for this award for members not attending CARL Conference.
  • Kelly: Recommend looking in DIAL for interested people to serve on committee, including Angela Boyd (Chair of DIAL)      
  • Lalitha: Will step in as CARL Board delegate; Talitha Matlin will also be included.
  • Lee: Will step in if the subcommittee needs another person (alternate).
  • Kelly: Will help look into the fundraising portion of the award; can help with opportunity drawing; seek donors. We need to involve members who are not attending the conference.
Action Item: Kelly will appoint Angela Boyd, Talitha Matlin, and Lalitha Nataraj (CARL Board delegate) to subcommittee. (*edited* Lia Friedman, Talitha Matlin, and Lalitha Nataraj were appointed to the subcommittee)

6. Item: New Member Working Group (Rachel, Lucy, Mario, Andrew)                    
11:25             
c. Update, more at September meeting

Discussion:
c. Update more at September meeting.
  • Mario: Leading working group; there’s been a slight delay in meeting. What is the Board envisioning with engagement of new members? What platforms will we use?
  • Lee: I believe the charge is to have something substantial for new members to understand how they can get involved with conference and board activities. We could create a page on the website that lists different ways to get involved, as well as specific contact information.
  • Mario: We could easily do a webpage or brochure; also talking to Joseph about opening up new groups within the platform (including for new members and/or community college members). Also, as people register for the conference, could we have something (in print) to hand out at the conference?          
  • Kelly: By September, we might be able to solidify some priorities for website/media to engage new and existing members. In the short-term, we need to think of ways to put out information to new members, but also for long-term, we need to have protocols for engaging with new members (welcoming emails, etc.).
  • Kelly: Does CARL have a Twitter account? We can think about using social media to engage our members.
  • Kelly w/some trivia: 15 years ago, community college groups had a fairly active interest group.
  • Mario: We should create an official Twitter account; personally, I only use it for conferences and it would be nice to use an official account at CARL.
  • Ken: There has to be an effort to populate the Twitter account with content year-round not just for the conference.
  • Lalitha: Keeping social media updated should be something for a social media manager.   
  • Lee: Already has a Facebook and LinkedIn page; there should be some sort of outreach committee. It’s something to consider; a little hesitant to propose new positions.
  • Kelly: There is an existing communications group.
  • David: We do not have a Twitter account; there’s a struggle (for me) to keep social media updated along with website coordinator duties.
  • Mario: Do want to decide on an official hashtag?          
Action Items:
  • Mario: Will work with New Member Working Group on creating a brochure to hand out to new members at the CARL Conference.
  • Andrew and Mario: Will look at back-end of platform to see what new groups (especially for community college) can be created.
  • Kelly: Will create a communications committee to review social media engagement including Twitter account.
  • Kelly: Will work with CARL 2020 conference committee on determining official hashtag; will make sure this info gets out on the webpage/pushed to the board.
7.   Item: Task Force on Racial Equity Report (Lindsey)
a.   Equity and Inclusion Coordinator board position
b.   CARL 2020
11:45   
   
Discussion:
a. Equity and Inclusion Coordinator board position
  • Kelly: Moving forward with this role, but need to determine strategies for recruiting and training for this position? Unlikely we will have this person in place by conference. There are already a couple of people interested in this position.
  • Kelly: Bylaws will need to be amended.
  • Rachel: Would we extend training stipend to travel as well?
  • Lee: No one who is elected can receive a stipend; only for those appointed. Stipends are optional and people do not have to take them.          
  • Kelly: This position is not as task-oriented, so might not require the stipend.         
  • Kelly: Several potential volunteers to be on the monitoring committee; needs board approval to appoint them. We need to have an accountability mechanism.
  • Lee: We should consider appointing someone from DIAL on the EDI Monitoring Committee (CARL 2020).
Action Items:
  • Kelly: Will the board allow me to work with Lindsey, Liz, and Tamara Rhodes (past-DIAL chair) to work on the CARL Conference EDI monitoring logistics & coordinator position description. Also include Conference Committee (Lee, Allie, and Talitha) as resources.     
8.   Item: 2020 Conference Update (Lee)
a.   Registration numbers
11:57        

Discussion:
a. Registration numbers
  • Lee: There is a schedule on the conference schedule, but there hasn’t been an official email (tweaking some information on the website).
  • Lee: With Allie and Talitha, want to try a different assessment plan that includes adult learning principles to see if attendees learned anything/shift practice. Just received IRB approval and will ask people to participate in a pre- and post-conference survey. Limited to 12 participants; free lunch incentive. Will have an open-ended reflection question at the end of the session. And will have a 6-month follow-up to see if people followed through with changes in practices.
  • Margot to Lee: How full is the hotel? Andrew: There are lots of neighboring hotels near the conference location.
  • Lee: We do want to try and fill our hotel block so that CARL doesn’t have to pay fees.        
Action Item: Lee: Will contact Allie about hotel numbers.
 
9. Item: 2022 Conference (Lee)
12:03 p.m.

Discussion:
  • Lee: 2022 Conference will be at the Holiday Inn in San Jose; tried really hard to have the conference in the East Bay but fees were too high / location was too small. Holiday Inn in San Jose convenient access from airport; available public transportation. Preconference on Thursday; Conference on Friday and half-day Saturday. 
Action Item: Kelly: Will sign the contract for the 2022 Conference at Holiday Inn.
 
10. Item: Membership Report (Andrew)
12:06 p.m.

Discussion:
  • Andrew: 369 confirmed members; approximately 29 new members which mainly came from new people signing up for conference. SCILWorks total registration fees were at $225. Conference sponsorships (working w/Adolfo) - we have at least 8 sponsors lined up.
  • Kelly: CARLALL listserv - does this go through Andrew or David?
  • Andrew: Checked with Joseph to see why this mailing list is moderated? Can we unmoderate the list and I will monitor for spam.
  • Kelly: Our sponsors might want to use the listserv to advertise.
Action Item: David and Andrew: Working on unmoderating listserv; investigating messages waiting to be sent out.

11. ItemTreasurer Report (Yen)
after 12:11 p.m. 
  
Discussion:
  • Yen: Revenue increasing because of conference registration;
  • We are getting some checks kicked back to us because the bank could not find account numbers.
  • Yen will work with accountants to submit taxes for 2019.         
 
12. Item: Mentorship Committee Update (Ethan)         
Discussion:
  • No update at this time
  • Lee: Ethan did speak to me about putting out call at Conference 2020.
Action Items:
  • Kelly: Will work with Ethan to see if he wants to step down from Mentorship Committee.
  • Mario: Please contact Ethan about mentorship opportunities for new members.
 
13. Item: Awards Liaison Updates
a.   Ilene Rockman
b.   Outstanding Member
c.   Research Grant
12:20        

Discussion:
  • Rachel: We are on an extended call deadline for Outstanding Member. Have received one nomination. We did give out the Ilene Rockman scholarships to two recipients.
