Rob said that a notice for the breakfast should be in Monday's Cognotes. After a brief discussion of the language, the Board approved the bylaw change. It will now be sent to ACRL for approval. Jerilyn reported on her attendance at the Continuing Education Assembly. There were representatives from many of the ACRL sections.
Several sections have continuing education committees.
The aim of the assembly is to promote professional competence and the growth of academic librarians. There were discussions of using videotapes, the Internet and workshops to teach new techniques. There was also a discussion of mentoring programs and the question came up as to whether there are good program models available. The overall assembly is still working on its relationship with individual continuing education committees. Jerilyn will work on a report on continuing education which Janet will deliver for her at the New York conference meeting of the Assembly.
