AU Librarians Meeting Agenda – November 30, 2022
Herrick Seminar Room (106), 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM; Secretary – John
1. Opening Conversation
a. State of the Conversation in Your Area – ~3 minutes each
If we were to attend a fictional (or real) national conference of librarians with your Team(s), what would they be talking about? What are the most vital questions, issues, and topics being discussed? Make a list of perhaps 3-5 hot topics and be prepared to summarize them for us. Not that you need to solve any of them, but just describe them enough so we understand them. Feel free to do a bit of searching for ideas, but this should not require extensive research on your part.
