In lieu of my BCOEL meeting attendance today...

by Martin Warkentin

Hi, all. I will not be able to extract myself from a concurrent meeting today, but a few things to report: As mentioned, BCLA proposal drafts at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18eGDZvLlWh996ocO9qxyBAQ1RfjTjx_qbMLoLTX… This is due next Thursday, I believe, so I'm happy to revise/tweak based on group input. The big question is determining the speaker for the first session - basically it's scripted for Arthur Gill Green, as discussed with Lin and Brenda. Who would ask him about this? UFV update: I have had a discussion about open textbook adoptions with our trades programs director, and I trying to have Rod Lidstone come and talk to our trades faculty. Rod is willing, and is currently doing some collaboration with someone at UFV, so it depends on the collective interest/admin pressure to arrange a guest appearance. I will be attending ALS on December 9th. Let me know if you need me to help with anything that day. Thanks. -Martin Martin Warkentin Copyright Librarian University of the Fraser Valley 33844 King Road, Abbotsford, BC Canada V2S 7M8 (604) 504-7441 Ext. 4460

Two BCLA 2017 drafts

by Martin Warkentin

Hello, folks. With input from Lin and Brenda, I have (finally) finished putting together two session proposal drafts for BCLA 2017: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18eGDZvLlWh996ocO9qxyBAQ1RfjTjx_qbMLoLTX… They need tweaking, possibly some additional information, or perhaps outright re-writing depending on the speakers we corral. I believe the next meeting is November 29th? I need to be reminded of the time since this didn't make it to my calendar at the first announcement. Thanks. -Martin Martin Warkentin Copyright Librarian University of the Fraser Valley 33844 King Road, Abbotsford, BC Canada V2S 7M8 (604) 504-7441 Ext. 4460
