Chiming in a bit late, but I also think it's a great idea to have a book drive for a school.  It is very much in keeping with COIL's grassroots community spirit.  Thanks for putting this on the table, Beth, and it will be exciting to work out the details.

Hey everyone,

Since Beth is unable to attend out meeting, I'm putting this agenda item off until she can attend.  I am so glad to see the support for the idea coming in from COIL members!  This will certainly be an exciting discussion in the weeks to come.

Hi Beth (and everybody),

I love the idea of a book drive!  And I know of a few communities in the Stillwater area that would benefit from a book drive.  In fact we might be able to get lists from teachers/librarians and let COIL folks consider purchasing requested books throughout the year.  Maybe we could include OK-ACRL and have a drive at the conference sponsored by COIL.  Thanks for thinking of it, Beth.

Best,
Nicole

Emily,

Sorry I definitely will not be able to make it.  I haven’t looked at the agenda, but here are my items.  I think the webpage one definitely needs to go ahead and be mentioned, but we could probably hold off on the other one and add it to the next agenda if you wanted.


1.        Webpage:  We need to start deciding as a group exactly what we want to see on our new website.  Jason wants to try and please everyone as much as possible.  I think we need to start spending a little time each meeting discussing the website and ideas.   If Nicole is at the meeting she will know what direction to point people in as she is the DSIG rep.

2.       I would like to start and annual book drive for school libraries.  Specifically elementary school, but it could be all school libraries.  What started me thinking about it was I come from a small town where the school only went to the 8th grade and we had a very limited selection of books to read.  When I graduated and went to high school I was in a slightly bigger town, but still small and still a very limited selection of books and luckily my mother did not mind spending a lot of money on books for me at the local Wal-Mart.  I did not discover we had a public library until my Junior year in high school and it was because the school held a pep rally in front of the library during a time when it was closed.  I asked a teacher “What is this building?”  Even then the collection was still pretty small.  I think we as an organization could pick a school library and work with them on getting a list of items they would like and either could not afford or ran out of money and ask for them to be donated.  We hold COIL in July at the end/beginning of the fiscal year so it would be perfect timing for us to start advertising and the school to know what they had run out of money on.  Attendees to could drop off donations at the workshop.  Duplicates or titles not needed could either a) go in a booksale for the library to buy more items or b) go to in a COIL pot where we maintain a list and school libraries around the state could request books from our list.  We could probably tie in the OK-ACRL and the other interest groups as well so that people could drop off books during those workshops/conferences as well if there is enough interest in this.  It seems like I remember awhile back Barbara sending out an email about school libraries losing some funding and if that is correct then they will have even less selection than normal.  This is a way to promote IL early and I thought what better interest group to be promoting IL.  Anyway, you can bring this up or not at the next meeting, but it might be nice to bring it

 up without me that way if people really are not interested they can feel free to bad mouth the idea since the person who came up with it is not there.

Hello, COILers!

This is an announcement of the next COIL meeting on July 1st at the University of Central Oklahoma.  We will be meeting in our workshop space, the Center for Transformative Learning.

Campus Map: http://bit.ly/jbV9jb (Number 10 on the map).

We will be able to park in the visitors lot: http://bit.ly/j9p4bs (Number 10 on the map).  The meeting will take place on Friday afternoon, so the parking attendants should not be on duty.   I have checked with the parking authority, and this is definitely the case.  I will notify campus police to avoid any confusion.

We will be eating at Flatire Burgers (http://www.flatireburgers.com/home.html).  Urban Spoon Reviews: http://bit.ly/k1GYCd.  We will meet there at 11:30.

Please RSVP here:  http://www.survs.com/survey/IIY2AGFOFY

Thank for for your RSVP. ☺

This will be our last meeting before our unCOILed 2011: Get Schooled! summer workshop.  We will have an online component- I will announce the Vyew room link next week.

The agenda and last month’s minutes are attached.  Please let me know if you would like any additions to the agenda.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Emily
