Membership of
UUG: Excellent news: Pat Flanagan will join us in the Undergraduate
Group this year. Some shifting of memberships in the user groups is
going on; many people are staying with their present assignments, some
are switching off to take other assignments. Nina is going off our group,
for obvious reasons. Sarah and Tracy are staying on UUG. Others not
at the meeting should let Margaret know their status. The group brainstormed
other people who would make excellent members.
Academic Expo:
The rest of the meeting was given over to plans for the Academic Expo
event which UUG is managing this year.The date is Friday, August 24th.
Officially the event runs from 2:15 to 4:00, in the Johnson Gym, first
floor. Tracy reported on the good time that participants had had last
year, greeting the incoming freshmen. The Libraries' banner has been
reserved. A call for volunteers to set up, take away, and serve on the
table will go out soon. Three people on the table each hour worked well
last year. Handouts will be the Libraries' map, pens, student jobs description,
hours cards, and a few Quick Guides to Barton. Sarah suggested bringing
a few interesting/fun books from Music Library and Humanities; Rotch
will bring bookcovers. Sarah will put together a script for Power Point
to highlight library services. Time is short to do this; Margaret will
check for a volunter Power Pointer in Rotch.
