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.
