Summer Goals - May through August, 2008

 

At our meeting on 22 April 2008, we made a list of summer goals; this page will be for collaboration on accomplishing what we are setting out to do. If you have other suggestions to add on to this, please do!

 

1. Create & plan workshop series (with handouts)

-Fact checking

-Copyright

-Medical Searching

-Meditation/yoga (and possibly discussing de-stressing and usefulness of relaxation techniques in regards to trauma induced from higher-risk activism (in relation to Aftershock by pattrice jones -- see PM page for more info.))

-Do community assessments to see what is needed most by the people we would be providing for

 

 

2. Organize fundraisers so we have a bigger budget in the fall

-Jamba Juice fundraiser during 504 sessions (Jacy has a contact at the one on Park - the manager)

-Get the totes and stickers printed (hopefully we will get the start up grant and can do this no problem after 15 June)

-Another yoga fundraiser if Rebecca is down for that?

 

 

3. Start planning our events for fall; committees should officially form

-Zine fest, possibly @ UA Main Library

-Bring Scott Beiben/Lost Film Fest to town

-Organize event(s) in relation to prison libraries (bring speaker(s) + book drive?)

-Possibly organize Dry River's library of books and zines

-PLG Panel for beginning of September?

 

 

 

4. Have an official website up and running through the SIRLS site, hopefully at least by August

-Have online membership forms and PayPal?

-Calendar?

-Imported blog entries?

-Contact form for questions/comments?

-Flickr?

-Archived newsletters?

 

 

 

5. Present at both 504 sessions to find interested, new students to join

-Print more brochures and fix minimal errors; maybe add more resources

-Create social events -- could include having PLG members being part of the LSO dine around event... at least one member at each location, or all participating members at one location

-Organize an intro-workshop in the beginning of fall, "What is a Progressive Librarian" or something similar... with a panel

 

 

---

Here is more space for comments, planning, and new ideas...

 

(as suggested/discussed at the Dry River event)

-We should consider taking some sort of action to tell the UA Main Library they should reconsider closing off certain collections to the public

-Engage in outreach to let people know which libraries they can use on campus and how
