**Activity in Current Reporting Period
a) Projects
completed (For example, any procedures, tip sheets, checklists, etc. created
during this period):
Updated information about the Student Chapter of the Year Award and had
it placed in the November edition of NMRT’s Footnotes.
Worked with the NMRT Web Committee to update information about SCOTYA on
ALA’s website, including nomination forms.
Researched a question regarding eligibility for the award and determined
that NCATE-accredited programs can establish ALA Student Chapters and apply for
the award as long as they are in good standing.
Sent an email to all SASCO Liaisons to ALA Student Chapters asking for
their assistance in publicizing the award.
b) Projects
in progress but not yet completed:
Update scoring information for the award.
Review applications and select the award winner and runner-up.
Notify recipient, runner-up and those chapters not selected for the award.
Coordinate conference attendance and responsibilities of recipient with SASCO chairs
and the Student Reception Committee to present the award at the ALA Annual
Conference in Anaheim this summer.
Prepare application for the following year, in consultation with new chair, if he/she has
been appointed.
**Action Items/Issues To Be Resolved (What is left to do,
based on your Planning Report?
Have there been any substantial changes in plans since then? What items, if
any, have been deferred until next year?):
The major activities that are left to do are dependent on receiving applications for the
award. To date, no applications have been received, but it is hoped that we will hear from
interested chapters before the February 29, 2008 deadline. At this point, nothing has been
deferred for next year.
