base line 47:2 is out; Zoom link for Membership & Board meetings at ALA Chicago

  • 1.  base line 47:2 is out; Zoom link for Membership & Board meetings at ALA Chicago

    Posted 6 hours ago

    Hello MAGIRT folks -

    base line 47:2 (June 2026) is out & posted on the MAGIRT website! This issue includes a list of MAGIRT meetings and activities at ALA Annual 2026 in Chicago.

    Here is the Zoom link for our (very DIY) hybrid setup for the Membership & Board meetings on Sunday (June 28, 10am Membership & 11am Board). Please note, this will be Susan's & my laptops, maybe with a webcam that Min offered to bring, probably running off my cell phone hotspot. As I said, *very* DIY!

    • Please also note: ALA scheduled the back-to-back Membership and Board meetings in different rooms, but at least they're in the same hotel! The Membership Meeting is in the Hyatt Regency McCormick, Grant Park C (10am) and the Board meeting is in the Hyatt Regency McCormick, Superior (11am). Both will use the same Zoom room.
    • The agenda is forthcoming. Please respond to this message, or write to Susan, Iris, me, or any other Board member if you have agenda items to add or questions/issues to raise.
