Goals, Objectives, Projects completed
This year the committee has conducted six interviews with library leaders and has posted them to the NMRT-L listserv. Four of the committee members also met at the Midwinter ALA conference in Boston to discuss planning for the Membership Meeting and Program committee program, which will be held at the annual conference in Chicago.
Action Items/Issues To Be
Resolved – What plans/projects remain which will be carried over or postponed
until next year? Have there been any substantial changes in plans requiring a
reconsideration or cancellation of projects? Information regarding such will be
helpful for future chairs and planners.
There are no projects that have to be postponed or carried over until next year. However, one substantial change in our series of online interviews includes securing fewer interviews than I had originally projected, due to time lags among some committee members, myself included (contacting interview subjects for permission to interview them, waiting for them to respond to interview questions, etc. If next year's chair decides to follow this format of conducting an online program—and I hope s/he does, since I think it's an excellent alternative to an “in-person” program at the annual conference—my only suggestion is to be mindful of the inevitable time lags involved in organizing and publicizing an online program.
