Feb 3 2010 2:37PM

Feb 3 2010 2:37PM
Gerald Holmes: Hi Kiyomi
Feb 3 2010 2:37PM
Gerald Holmes: Hi Patty
Feb 3 2010 2:37PM
Patricia MacDonald: Hi Gerald
Feb 3 2010 2:38PM
Kiyomi Deards: Yes, it seems to work fairly well, there is a slight lag, but it's only a second or so.
Feb 3 2010 2:38PM
Gerald Holmes: Great!
Feb 3 2010 2:38PM
Gerald Holmes: Do you think that this will work for 6 or more memebers to meet?
Feb 3 2010 2:39PM
Kiyomi Deards: Since you're here I should mention Shannon completed her Residency Map
http://acrl.ala.org/residency/?p=937 Feb 3 2010 2:39PM
Patricia MacDonald: Yes, it looks great. Thanks for adding it!
Feb 3 2010 2:40PM
Gerald Holmes: The Residency map looks Great! Thank you for sharing it.
Feb 3 2010 2:40PM
Kiyomi Deards: I think it should be okay, you'll probably need to do a little more moderation than in person, but it should work fine.
Feb 3 2010 2:41PM
Kiyomi Deards: There does appear to be some sort of text limit in these boxes, but that should help people keep concise.
Feb 3 2010 2:41PM
Patricia MacDonald: yes, it's certainly worth trying out
Feb 3 2010 2:42PM
Gerald Holmes: My hope is to have an open RIG meeting this month on RIG visability.
Feb 3 2010 2:42PM
Patricia MacDonald: Should we discuss plans for the annual conference? The meeting schedule looks great. i think last summer, we also mentioned having a social get-together for r
Feb 3 2010 2:42PM
Patricia MacDonald: residents
Feb 3 2010 2:42PM
Gerald Holmes: Patty, yes
Feb 3 2010 2:42PM
Kiyomi Deards: We had talked about having breakfast before the formal meeting, that way it wouldn't conflict with anything.
Feb 3 2010 2:43PM
Patricia MacDonald: Maybe we could discuss these 2 items - visibility and ideas for social gatherings at the conferences
Feb 3 2010 2:43PM
Patricia MacDonald: sorry I did see the breakfast idea in the minutes
Feb 3 2010 2:45PM
Kiyomi Deards: No problem, its easier to remember things when you were part of the discussion.
Feb 3 2010 2:46PM
Gerald Holmes: That is correct.
Feb 3 2010 2:46PM
Gerald Holmes: That is correct.
Feb 3 2010 2:46PM
Gerald Holmes: Kiyomi - Yes
Feb 3 2010 2:46PM
Gerald Holmes: Testing
Feb 3 2010 2:46PM
Gerald Holmes: Test
Feb 3 2010 2:46PM
Gerald Holmes: Test
Feb 3 2010 2:46PM
Kiyomi Deards: Gerald has reappeared.
Feb 3 2010 2:46PM
Patricia MacDonald: What did you have in mind for the visibility discussion - the brochure and other ideas (probably in the minutes!0
Feb 3 2010 2:47PM
Gerald Holmes: Helllo Gerald
Feb 3 2010 2:47PM
Gerald Holmes: Did we get dropped?
Feb 3 2010 2:48PM
Patricia MacDonald: Does it look like I"m leaving and re-appearing? I'm here but I keep getting these messages about you both?
Feb 3 2010 2:48PM
Kiyomi Deards: You momentarily disapeared, I wonder if it thinks we're too quiet?
Feb 3 2010 2:48PM
Kiyomi Deards: I never loose the conversation stream.
Feb 3 2010 2:48PM
Patricia MacDonald: Hmm - I;'m just waiting for responses. This is a lot slower tha GOTOMeeting
Feb 3 2010 2:49PM
Gerald Holmes: I could not respond to both questions. It was dead.
Feb 3 2010 2:49PM
Gerald Holmes: Do you think that we should test gotomeeting?
Feb 3 2010 2:49PM
Kiyomi Deards: Well that is counter-productive, it wouldn't hurt to test gotomeeting.
Feb 3 2010 2:50PM
Patricia MacDonald: I'm not sure it's free. I used it for a meeting with the Univ System here recently.
Feb 3 2010 2:50PM
Patricia MacDonald: I'll get more information. I have it on my desktop.
Feb 3 2010 2:51PM
Gerald Holmes: Okay. I will answer Patty's question.
Feb 3 2010 2:51PM
Patricia MacDonald: Actually if this is just a chat we could even use Google Talk or maybe you can answer that Kiyome?
Feb 3 2010 2:52PM
Kiyomi Deards: Google Talk looks easy to use, you do need windows XP or later, but I think we all have access to that.
Feb 3 2010 2:53PM
Patricia MacDonald: YEs, I just checked and now there's even a Google chat with video capability! I better comb my hair!
Feb 3 2010 2:53PM
Kiyomi Deards:
http://www.google.com/talk/ Feb 3 2010 2:54PM
Gerald Holmes: Everyone at the meeting in Boston is in a subcommittee to work on the format for the RIG meeing in DC. There is a work or character limit.
Feb 3 2010 2:54PM
Kiyomi Deards: Video chat makes you want to check what you sit in front of too!
Feb 3 2010 2:55PM
Gerald Holmes: 1 hour RIG business and 1 hour workshop/panel on how to explain the the residency experience on your resume.
Feb 3 2010 2:55PM
Patricia MacDonald: With Google talk we may need to set up a group with all the RIG members so that everyone gets included
Feb 3 2010 2:55PM
Patricia MacDonald: I mean a goup like google groups with everyone's email
Feb 3 2010 2:56PM
Kiyomi Deards: Patty, I think that would be doable, most residents I've met use Google in some way already.
Feb 3 2010 2:56PM
Patricia MacDonald: It looks like we're all haviing separate conversations! I do like the format for the upcoming meeting this summer
Feb 3 2010 2:56PM
Patricia MacDonald: MAybe we can also suggest an evening get together for those who can make it. &am is early to be social!
Feb 3 2010 2:57PM
Gerald Holmes: Prior to the 8:00 am meeting in DC. We (all) can meet for breakfast, informally.
Feb 3 2010 2:57PM
Kiyomi Deards: I like the idea of both breakfast and dinner, it gives people options.
Feb 3 2010 2:58PM
Patricia MacDonald: I think there is too mucvh lag with ALA Connect. Do you want to try Google talk with 3 or 4 of us in the next couple weeks to try it out
Feb 3 2010 2:58PM
Kiyomi Deards: And its okay if different people show up to both, I can commit to being at both if we decide to go that way.
Feb 3 2010 2:59PM
Gerald Holmes: We could plan both. I can commit to the breakfast.
Feb 3 2010 2:59PM
Kiyomi Deards: I think that would be a good idea Patty, the lag seems to be really random.
Feb 3 2010 2:59PM
Patricia MacDonald: Yes, maybe the breakfast for both coordinators and residents adn the evening for residents??
Feb 3 2010 2:59PM
Patricia MacDonald: Any way, waht do you all think of this system?
Feb 3 2010 3:00PM
Kiyomi Deards: I'm pretty sure I can get at least Shannon Simpson the Towson resident to go to dinner, but not breakfast
Feb 3 2010 3:00PM
Gerald Holmes: We can bring it up at both the Feb. and Mar. meetings.
Feb 3 2010 3:01PM
Patricia MacDonald: I think we'll probably need to travel back and forth to DC so 7am would be very early
Feb 3 2010 3:01PM
Gerald Holmes: Since it is informal. I know that breakfast will be in the hotel where the meeting is.
Feb 3 2010 3:01PM
Kiyomi Deards: That sounds like a good plan, Gerald.
Feb 3 2010 3:01PM
Gerald Holmes: Patty, no problem.
Feb 3 2010 3:02PM
Patricia MacDonald: maybe we could make it available between 7-8 for those who couldn't get there early? I guess that makes it less social
Feb 3 2010 3:02PM
Gerald Holmes: That is fine.
Feb 3 2010 3:03PM
Gerald Holmes: I like the idea of trying google chat.
Feb 3 2010 3:03PM
Kiyomi Deards: I think that is okay, in a way it's just another way to encourage attendance/visiting before the meeting.
Feb 3 2010 3:03PM
Gerald Holmes: Great
Feb 3 2010 3:03PM
Patricia MacDonald: Well should we try another quick meeting on Google Talk and review agenda for the virtual meeting in march?
Feb 3 2010 3:04PM
Kiyomi Deards: Sounds like a good idea, same time next week work for everyone?
Feb 3 2010 3:05PM
Gerald Holmes: Patty, I can give you a call after we meet and explain the Feb. and March meetings.
Feb 3 2010 3:05PM
Gerald Holmes: Next week is fine with me for Google Talk.
Feb 3 2010 3:05PM
Gerald Holmes: 2:30 pm next Wed.?
Feb 3 2010 3:06PM
Patricia MacDonald: I'm available Mon, Feb 9th but not the rest of the week. it would be good to chat by phone, Gerald. Maybe I am off topic
Feb 3 2010 3:06PM
Patricia MacDonald: is 2:30 on Monday Ok
Feb 3 2010 3:06PM
Kiyomi Deards: Monday would be fine to try Google Chat.
Feb 3 2010 3:06PM
Patricia MacDonald: Should I set up a google group for ACRL RIG?
Feb 3 2010 3:07PM
Gerald Holmes: Monday (Feb. 8th) at 3:30 pm is good for me.
Feb 3 2010 3:07PM
Patricia MacDonald: 3:30 is OK for me as well
Feb 3 2010 3:07PM
Kiyomi Deards: 3:30 is good for me as well.
Feb 3 2010 3:07PM
Gerald Holmes: Let's test this with us 3 and add Julie.
Feb 3 2010 3:07PM
Gerald Holmes: Great!
Feb 3 2010 3:07PM
Patricia MacDonald: Maybe we don't need a Google group for the chat - I can check it out unless one of you knows
Feb 3 2010 3:08PM
Kiyomi Deards: I don't think we need a group, we should be able to invite people if we know their google chat e-mails or handels.
Feb 3 2010 3:08PM
Gerald Holmes: I have a google email account.
Feb 3 2010 3:09PM
Patricia MacDonald: Ok sounds good. let's just try it out next Monday. Thansk all!
Feb 3 2010 3:09PM
Kiyomi Deards: I'm not sure if they do it by screen name or e-mail, I suppose we'll find out when we sign up? Then we need to make sure and exchange that info so we can meet.
Feb 3 2010 3:09PM
Kiyomi Deards: See you Monday!
Feb 3 2010 3:09PM
Patricia MacDonald: Bye!
Feb 3 2010 3:10PM
Gerald Holmes: Goodbye Patty
Feb 3 2010 3:10PM
Gerald Holmes: Kiyomi we can exchange info. via email.
