AMALA Meeting Minutes

February 10, 2015 – 1 PM

Koerner’s Pub

Attendees: Alan Woo, Roxanne Kalenborn, Marie Shockley, Clare Asquith, Jakob Roberts, Nicole Askin, Alex Kuskowski, Lauren Washuk, Nichole DeMichelis, Jenna Dufour


AMALA – Should we keep the name or rename to emphasize our association with ARLIS/NA?


Benefits of the change: 
  • Makes clear to students and professionals our connection to ARLIS/NA, including our purpose and activities. 
  • Aids in networking as we would become more immediately recognizable outside SLAIS.

  • Supports sustainability of the group.

  • Focusing in on art librarianship helps to focus energies. Worry that we are not giving enough attention to music librarianship because of art librarianship majority in group. 
Drawbacks
  • Might alienate membership focused on music librarianship
Solutions
  • Encourage membership to branch off into group devoted to music librarianship.

  • Create a name that combines ARLIS with MLA or CAML.

Vote: Either change name or wait to discuss at a later date. Five for changing name, four opposed, one abstain. Name change will be implemented (social media and email list should reflect changes soon).


2. Upcoming events:
  • Wikipedia Edit-Athon – workshops and event on International Women’s Day. Events at UBC organized by Vanessa Kam from Art, Music and Architecture Library, and a staff member from AHVA. Great way to network with AHVA faculty, sharpen coding skills and advocate for equal representation in Wikipedia.

  • Art in fiction/nonfiction bookclub – organized by VPL and the VAG, the first meeting is February 17th. Meetings will be held at the VAG Annex Workshop. 
3. AMALA event planning: 
  • Geocaching  - Nichole has a project plan drafted. Will begin first stages with the goal of having events during the Summer.

  • Art museum library tour – Clare is still planning this.  
4. Other Business: 
  • Alex will accept all events related correspondence and communicate when needed.
