Committee on Library & Scholarly Communication:
LAUC-R DEI Book Club will be meeting virtually on Tuesday, October 25 (Note that it has been rescheduled from the 18th).
We’ll be reading the article: Trippin’ Over the Color Line: The Invisibility of Race in Library and Information Studies, by Todd Honma. It’s open access and can be found using UC Library Search.
Check the LAUC-R listserv for Zoom access information.
Feel free to bring your questions for discussion – and the new DEI Committee co-chairs will also come with some prompts and discussion points to get the conversation going.
The LAUC-R Diversity Committee is starting a quarterly, community-centered, drop-in book club. These quarterly meetings will be a space for all members of UCR Library to engage with literature from our field on the topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We emphasize community-centered here because we want all participants to share ownership of this book club and to have equal access to facilitating group discussions, not just Diversity Committee members. Participants may drop-in and out of the book club as their capacity and time permits. There is no commitment to finish the entire book or attend every meeting. Folks who are able to attend at least 3 of the 4 meetings will receive a special LAUC-R swag item as a token of appreciation for their participation!
Given the positive feedback to our previous webinar discussion on “CRT in LIS,” we will be starting off this book club by reading excerpts from Knowledge Justice: Disrupting Library and Information Studies through Critical Race Theory, edited by Sofia Y. Leung and Jorge R. López-McKnight. This text is available open-access; anyone can view, download, and print it as needed using the above link.
For our first meeting on August 23, we will be discussing the introduction to this book, “This is Only the Beginning.” We look forward to seeing you there!
Dates for AY2022-2023:
Virtual meetings are scheduled for the following dates, 3:00-4:00 pm:
· August 23, 2022
· October 18, 2022
· February 21, 2023
· April 18, 2023
Note: Participants working onsite may choose to continue the conversation through optional in-person gatherings following our virtual meetings!
Check the LAUC-R listserv for Zoom access information.
Membership meeting minutes are no longer added to this website. Please contact the LAUC-R Chair or Secretary if you have any questions.
You are invited to attend a multi-campus LAUC program featuring a panel of librarians, who will answer questions from the recent survey (see below) about professional development. The event will take place on May 17th from noon-1:00pm. Check LAUC-R listserv for Zoom information.
Next week Thursday, March 3, 2022, 12:00-1:00 PM, the LAUC-R Committee on Programs will once again be hosting our bi-monthly colleague check-in.
This check-in meeting will take place in Gather. NOTE: you do not need to log in or sign in to participate in our check-in meeting. However, please plan on joining at the top of the hour to allow yourself at least 5 minutes to customize your avatar, plus there is a mini-tutorial to walk you through the basics of navigating and interacting with objects throughout the meeting space.
The only thing you will absolutely need is the link: https://app.gather.town/app/74vgK2yjVxu7wken/LAUC-R
Please make sure to use a device with speakers/headphones and a microphone. And for the best all-around experience a camera/web-camera as well.
NOTE: Gather on a mobile device has limited functionality. Using a Desktop device is suggested. The most important tips involve movement and opening and closing interactive objects.
Shout out to Michele Potter for suggesting Gather and for setting up our meeting space.
Assembly is just a few weeks away!
Date:
Assembly will take place as originally scheduled on March 15 at UCSB
Format:
In-person/hybrid
Programming:
Bonus:
We will hold additional LAUC-wide programming (discussions about PI status, DEI issues, etc.) virtually, separate from Assembly, over the course of the remaining academic year
Our Assembly Planning Committee weighed many considerations and ultimately focused on accomplishing two main goals:
1) The first goal in planning and hosting an Assembly is to maintain the tradition of assembling in person and physically experiencing a different campus each year. The LAUC bylaws support this structure, in that each campus is to send 2-5 members/delegates each year to represent the librarians on those campuses.
2) An additional goal is to engage our membership in thought-provoking discussions about issues affecting librarians. Our last two Assemblies, held virtually due to the pandemic, established that these heavier discussions may be richer when they include as many LAUC members as possible. To that end, they are often well suited to a virtual format that can host more people. We find that, at least this year, these sessions should be held outside of Assembly and spread out over the course of the academic year, so as to not overwhelm members with one-day, nonstop programming.
The current division of programming allows us to meet both of our goals and to include the largest number of total participants. The survey responses we received confirmed that there is significant interest in both in-person and virtual components. While we know that there is no perfect solution that will satisfy all needs, we are confident that the current plan provides the best possible balance.

This week’s colleague check-in will be 100% remote. Looking forward to learning more about the interesting, innovative, and impactful activities of LAUC-R members, or just spending some time discussing anything of interest to the membership.
