October 12 UASLA Meeting Minutes



 Fundraising

UASLA will hold its first Fall 2011 fundraiser during the SIRLS Homecoming Event Reception on Thursday, November 3, 2011.So come on out and be generous!

Funds will be used for future events such as the special library project below.

Community Service

SLA members volunteered at the Tucson BioBlitz last Friday, October 20, 2011.

Currently, we are beginning work on a video/audio history project of special librarians in Tucson in collaboration with SIRLS.  Project goals include:
  •     awareness and promotion of local librarians/special libraries
  •     recording histories of local Library and Information Science professionals and SIRLS alums
We hope to turn some of the interviews into group tour events at different libraries around town.  Interested in attending an upcoming library tour or learning more about local special libraries/librarians?  Let UASLA know!

Volunteer Opportunity
The Tucson Teen Crisis Center is looking for a volunteer to put together a small (less than 100) print book collection.  Interested?  Contact Bryan Heidorn. 

The next meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, October 26, 2011, has been postponed.  The new meeting date will be posted when it is announced.
