1. Agenda approved
2. Prior minutes approved
3. Regional Immersion Proposal: The board reviewed Michelle Burke’s proposal to create a NW Immersion Program in collaboration with ACRL-WA, the Orbis Cascade Alliance and other partners. Many questions and much discussion ensued.
- Should ACRL-OR participate? Advantages are that a regional program would support local collaboration; tuition and/or travel time would be less; couldattract new members.
- No definitive timeline.
- LSTA grant; takes up to a year to commit funding, so proposal itself could take 2-3 years.
- Should the ACRL-OR representative on the steering committee be a boardmember? Ex-officio member because of length of project and need forcontinuity.
- How big would the conference be? 3-4 days.
- ACRL membership at the national level required, as the national program facilitates access.
- Some aspects to be addressed include funding, housing/dorms, organizational support.
- Partner with OLA/ACRL-WA/ACRL-OR/ACRL-ID, ILAGO.
- Housing availability would affect schedule
- Airport access should be considered in determining location
- Look for institutional conference support
- Should the program be open to all national members, or just regional?
- What amount of funding are we committing to? At what level?
- Should ACRL-OR send out a survey to assess interest? Could be included in a broader survey.
- How many attendees would be required to make the Immersion viable?
- Schedule in a non-Menucha year (but this would affect ACRL-WA).
- Send follow up questions to Michelle.
- Additional contacts for more information: Immersion Alumni List (Isaac); ALA lists; OLA Instructional Round Table.
