Chanel Wheeler, President, symposium costs approx. $145 to cover all costs to date. LSO is the opportunity for you to take projects on as a leader. Great advantages for your resume and leadership skills. Chanel thanked the embers of the 2010-2011 organization for being supportive and working to make a successful org.

Mary Feeney is club advisor, Librarian at UA Library, unable to attend.
Discussion regarding the purpose and motivation behind the symposium. There seems to be a need to get more students involved; officers are always involved, but would like to see more students involved.
Suggestion to tap into the ALA liaison for support.
New Faculty/Policy Liaison reported that UA SIRLS is ranked 29th on national list of library schools, Austin is 17th, other universities out of state tuition is still lower than our in state tuition. Programs should be preparing students to publish in the field; many programs, including SIRLS do not do this.

Representation of SIRLS students who are likely to participate in extracurricular activity:
3. Suggestions
LSO needs a template for what events happen at what time, especially those pertaining to networking and career services. The lag time that occurs with officer turnover prevents a more efficient addressing of student needs through events.
Create an LSO Membersip Coordinator that keeps up with student needs and recruits active members.
A stronger bond with the alumni of LSO/SIRLS needs to be made to create more opportunities for alumni to mentor students.
The role of Alumni/Student Liaison should be developed to include creating this bond using resources such as the Alumni Directory on the SIRLS website.

Dolores reported:
–she is considering a video for students on the website; Chanel said it can
include a tour of the school.
–Someone in Phoenix offered to help with the website but Dolores decided to not
allow access due to security and lack of personal relationship.
–Blog is being updated, with Maria Elena. Diane suggested Amber might post
links to it on Facebook.
Chanel’s report of Meeting with Brian Heidorn:
–SIRLS site transfer should be live within a couple of weeks, then both will
run concurrently until the older site is shut down, by May.
–Social Network for SIRLS: Looked into CATgroups but it is useless. Looking
into others, including Google groups testing. FERPA requires the Members can’t
see who is subscribed and that SIRLS must be able to add 40 at once. Dolores
reported Google tech issues.
–4 Faculty prospects were interviewed and Chanel made recommendations but will
not know who was chosen untilt he hiring process is complete.
–Graduation seems to be on the way to being out of LSO’s hands
–SIRLS is pursuing at 3-2 progression for Bachelor’s/Masters. 504 will no
longer be a prerequisite for all classes, though it will be for some. This may
change. SIRLS is trying to make the program more flexible.
–Dual programs with ASU are also moving forwared, including one involving
DIGIN.
Brooke:
Symposium is still receiving submissions and Tatiana is reserving an auditorium.
Discussion then ensued at the meeting about encouraging students who don’t know
what to submit. Mary Feeney’s Resume workshop was discussed.
Chanel:
–Wanda contacted LSO about fundraising for a Native nation who experienced a
fire on their reservation. It was determined that the project is not well
suited to LSO because it is not library-specific, so Chanel will recommend
other funding possibilities.
–Surveys are still being returned. They seem skewed heavily toward Tucsonans
(60 to 70%)and students who are single. (This in contrast to Tom Wilding’s
estimate that 40& of SIRLS students are in Tucson and 40% in Phoenix.) 83
results in so far, including one from Turkey and 2 from E. Germany.
—-ASUA workshops – attendance of 3 will give LSO $100. She will email LSO
officers a list of workshops and dates/times. These include: Event planning,
Networking and Recruiting, Appropriations, WorkSync (Monday 3/28 5-6pm.)
Dolores:
–Brought up discussion of how much of the outdated LSO website material should
be archived. Ended inconclusively.
