Hi folks,
I am happy to see that most of us have gotten signed up for the Interest Group and are on this Connect site. I think we're missing one, but I'll follow up with her by email before our next meeting.
We had chatted at our last meeting about how one cannot reserve an ALA Zoom room more than about 6 weeks in advance and that the link would change for each meeting, so I hadn't been able to secure a room for us in October, and I was concerned about communicating the changing link out until everyone was on Connect here. Since the group is on Connect, I did go ahead and reserve our 1-2pm EST slot on the 27th of January 2025:
https://ala-events.zoom.us/j/92019042811?pwd=YnpVTzA3UWUzZ3AxSUJ3NXlPNTl0dz09
Meeting ID: 920 1904 2811
Passcode: 429106
I'll leave the recurring link in our Outlook series, though. It can be our back-up in case we are unable to secure the room some future month.
Finally, I uploaded the minutes of our July meeting to our "Library" in this Connect space, and have discovered to my dismay that I've waylaid the October minutes somehow. I'm trying to reconstitute those now but apologies if I get anything wrong, especially attendance. I remember everyone as being there but please let me know if you want your name struck from the list of attendees.
Thank you all so much for sticking with this through the transition and Happy Holidays!
Emily
