Continuing Education Committee Minutes
January 19, 2002

Present: Inna Gudanets (Stanford), Mischa Buczkowski (Oregon), Jackie Byrd (Indiana), Diana Green (NYU), Jared Ingersoll (Columbia), Sandra Levy (Chicago), Karina Milosovich (Eastview), Janice Pilch (Illinois), Kay Sinnema (Duke), Marek Sroka (Illinois), Susan Summer (Columbia), Cathy Zeljak (George Washington)

Minutes: The minutes of the June 2001 meeting were approved.

Mentoring project: The letters to the directors of institutes and to library schools regarding the mentoring project was discussed. Originally, plans were to send the letters in September or October of 2001, but they were never sent. It was decided that those responsible for sending the letters would check the names and addresses and mail the letters by March 1st. Janice Pilch will maintain a current list of contacts for directors and library schools. Information on the cataloging workshop in June at the U. of Illinois Summer Librarians' Workshop will be added to the letters.

Future of Committee: Inna Gudanets led a discussion the future of the committee, requesting new ideas for committee projects. Ideas included:

  • Continuing the work on mentoring. It was suggested that experienced librarians could use mentoring as well as new librarians could.
  • Be more involved in what's going on in related non-Slavic groups
  • Consider presentations at the Continuing Education Committee meetings
  • Consider organizing a roundtable at AAASS or work on a pre-conference for that group
Slavic NACO funnel: Joanna Dyla is working with LC to organize a Slavic NACO funnel, as discussed at the San Francisco conference in June 2001. Mischa Buczkowski is still interested in being the coordinator of the Slavic NACO funnel. The NACO work would include personal names, corporate names, conference names, and series headings.
