Hi there,
I am so sorry I was not able to meet. I have been under the weather lately. I will not be able to attend ALA annual this year. I think a virtual meeting would be best. I am open to further discussions about content. Thanks!

Hi friends!
Sorry we couldn't all meet last Friday and I am late even getting this out as I've had a busy week!
A few things that are important for us to discuss:
- ALA Annual discussion- time, venue, etc.
- The Sociology Discussion Group meeting/program is scheduled for Saturday, June 27, 10:30-11:30 AM.
- We should decide if we will do an in-person program or virtual program. I, for one, will not be at ALA Annual. I think before we were leaning toward a virtual program. If we want to do a virtual program/meeting, we need to let Exec know so they can plan for that.
- Once we make a decision, we can schedule and decide on how to proceed with that.
- Possible topics or scope of group's ALA Annual program
- Regardless of what we decide, we need to come up with how we want to approach it.
- I've though about a few ideas and certainly welcome your ideas!
- I've attended some structured discussions, where a host presents a topic/questions and the attendees each take turns giving their thoughts. These have generally been limited to a certain number of attendees, but we could do it however we wish!
- We could have someone do a short (10-15 minutes) presentation and then solicit questions from attendees in order to start discussions.
- We could do a virtual panel.
- Other ideas??
Those are the two mains things to decide at this time. What do you all think? Would you like to try to schedule another WebEx meeting?
Thanks,
Thomas
