Read Posters Subjects
The committee brainstormed for new Read poster subjects (go to http://blogs.uflib.ufl.edu/news/category/read/ for past posters):
Determine a theme to focus on
• Faculty members
• Library Assistants (such as Sara Danker)
• Students from all over campus
• New Head of College of Liberal Arts and Science, Paul D’Anieri
• Jimmy Cheek, if he hasn’t left.
• Famous Alumni (Erin Andrews, a former Dazzler; Beverly Perdue, Governor of North Carolina)
• Football team
• Carl Van Ness
• Scenes from past Read-A-Thons and Edible Book Contests
• Different seasonal shots of one campus scene
• Different languages
• A blank poster with a message inside a frame “Picture yourself here”
Brian asked about the purpose of the posters. Barbara said that Deans like to hang them in their office. It engenders a positive connection between faculty and the library/librarians.
Updates
Val on The Elegance of Science Contest: there are four judges, 1 person each from the Harn, the College of Engineering, a Librarian from AFA, plus one other. They’ve received 116 entries. The judges will pick the top 10. There will be an Open House and Reception at Marston on February 19th 4:30-6pm.
Jay on the calendar beta site: Winston is busy with the active directory migration. He will focus on the calendar as soon as the migration is finished.
January 19th meeting is a holiday and, unless there are pertinent agenda items, we will not reschedule that meeting.
