Minutes of the January 23rd meeting


Attendees: Amy Clarke (Brookdale CC), Joan Brady (Taylor Mills ES), Jean Curtin (Keansburg HS), Phyllis Anker (ret’d), Barbara Herbert (Georgian Ct. Univ.), Steve Chudnick (Brookdale CC), Rosalind Reisner (CJRLC)

Help Pages
Roz showed the group that she had added a section in Help for the Librarian on blogs and RSS. There are only a few links; more will be added as they are found. If any committee members know of good sites, please send them to her. Roz reported that a number of people have told her recently that they use and appreciate the information on the Help Pages. Roz received an email from someone requesting that we not link to the http://www.martinlutherking.org/ hate site in our section on evaluating websites. Linking to this site increases the number of “hits” and thus the site comes up as one of the first results in a Google search for ML King. The link has been removed.

InfoLit Committee blog
The blog was launched after the blogging workshops in November and there are several postings, but it’s not known if anyone has looked at it! Several suggestions were made about information to post on the blog, including a link to the Keys to the Age of Information presentation still on the CJRLC website and Phyllis’ Favorites blog. Several of the other CJRLC committees have created blogs: TechGroup, CJARL, and CJRLC has a blog as well.

CJRLC Tech Challenge
Roz distributed information on the Tech Challenge, which offers Region members the opportunity to learn several new things on their own or through our workshops by the Spring Membership meeting on May 24. Roz proposed that we use the InfoLit Committee blog as the place to post news and information about the challenge. This will also help publicize the blog. Jean Curtin’s suggestion for the next Tech Challenge: if you’re a school librarian, teach a teacher how to use EBSCOhost.

Action items:
1. Find out what people do with Phyllis’ Favorites
2. Put together links to websites that do a good job of helping people access the databases, to help libraries create or update their websites.
3. Get updated Info Literacy sites from committee members: check Brookdale’s website for links.
