[Capital_Librarians] Notes from Cap Lib meeting today

[Alice Laviolette]

April 7, 2009 Meeting Notes - State Library 
Room 103, 11:00AM
 
Attending: Lloyd Bledsoe - ODOT Maps, Jane Kirby - OR OSHA, Layne Sawyer - Archives, Diana Gleason - Law Library, Alice LaViolette - State Library
 
OLA exhibit:  The official attendance count for the conference is 475. The general consensus was that this was a worthwhile endeavor.  Those who attended the conference and staffed the booth had the opportunity to chat with attendees about our services, hand out brochures and a short blurb about Capital Librarians appears in the exhibitor section of the conference schedule.
 
Internships: During the conference, Jane made contact with someone from the PCC Cascade Campus about their program for Library & Media Center Paraprofessionals http://www.pcc.edu/pcc/pro/progs/ed/library/
This program is for library and media assistants. Jane mentioned that this program may have students who need mentoring/job shadowing experiences and that she gave the instructor a brochure with our library/resource center contact information.  
 
Historic Photos: Lloyd has heard that Parks and Forestry are applying for a grant to digitize their collections of historic photos.
 
WEB site: Jane will look into the possibility of creating a WEB site for Capital Librarians.
 
Archives tour: Alice will check with Layne and set a date for a tour of Archives this spring.  There are several new employees at OSL who like a tour. We will include any Capital Librarian folks who would like to attend.
 
Brainstorming ideas:  Several ideas of upcoming projects were introduced...
 
Plan a future visit to each of the Cap Lib facilities; maybe include information resource centers/collections located in other state agencies such as DOGAMI, Agriculture, Parks, Forestry, etc.
 
Provide training for state employees in how to use our various collections and services. Connect with DAS Training to see if we could partner with them in creating such a class.
We might include a segment on finding state statistical resources produced by various agencies. We might also offer training to legislative staff, with a goal of helping them understand the difference between each library, scope of collections, differences in procedures, etc.
