All members and those involved in the academic librarian review process should try and attend the workshop, especially those who are new to our Library and will be participating in this year’s review cycle.

Spend a lunch hour in conversation with your colleagues! Topics may include:

  • your thoughts on how LAUC-R can support you in the year ahead
  • professional accomplishments, projects, and conferences attended this summer.
  • how we’re adapting to the differences of working remotely: technology, time management, colleague and patron interaction – you name it!

LAUC-R Brown Bag Professional Series – Feb. 19

For the Winter event in the LAUC-R Brown Bag Professional Series, Kat Koziar and David Rios will give a presentation on Wednesday, February 19, from 12:00 – 1:00 in Rivera Library, Room 140.

David and Kat will speak on Supporting “Along the Chaparral: Memorializing the Enshrined.”

“When UC Riverside partnered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration’s Veterans Legacy Program on a multi-year, federally-commissioned project called Along the Chaparral: Memorializing the Enshrined, Principal Investigator Allison Hedge Coke asked Data Librarian Kat Koziar to build the foundation for the project’s data management” (UCR Library News, May 8 2019). Kat used this opportunity to provide a wider array of library support that included recruiting Special Research Projects Director David Rios to assist with local history and archival genealogical research. Along the Chaparral has multiple outputs, including two print anthologies, a film, a documentary, live performances, and an interactive GIS app that shares the life stories of more than 1,000 individuals interred at Riverside National Cemetery.

Join us on the 19th as our colleagues fill us in on the pivotal roles they played in this unique collaborative project.

Brown bag – Librarian colleague check-in, December 4

A gentle reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday, December 4, from 12:00 – 1:00 pm in Rivera Library Room 140, the LAUC-R Programs Committee has arranged a brown bag gathering where all can share:

  • Recent professional accomplishments
  • Interesting projects in progress / on the horizon / being considered
  • Conference reports
  • Questions and suggestions
  • Other

We hope you can bring a lunch and take this opportunity to connect with each other!

Librarian Series CALL Workshops

The first workshop will be Friday, October 18, 2019, 9:00-10:30 a.m. in Orbach Science Library room 240.  The workshop will be repeated Wednesday, October 23, 2019 in Rivera Library room 403, 2:3-4:00 p.m.

Presuming that the 2019-2020 CALL will be out before the workshop, Candidates who know they are up for review and those who think they may be up for review please READ the CALL prior to the workshop.  Review Initiators are also encouraged to read the CALL.  The result could then be that you could bring your questions to the session instead of having to go over points in the CALL in as much depth as last year. 

Call for presenter – LAUC-R Brown Bag Professional Series

The Programs Committee would like to continue hosting quarterly gatherings in its Brown Bag Professional Series.

Do you have a presentation you’d like to share with your colleagues in Fall 2019 – perhaps one you’ve already given, or one you’re about to give at a conference? If so, please let the Committee know sometime in the next few weeks. We can coordinate on scheduling the brown bag on a day that works for you.

A Dim Sum of Conferences, July 24

Do you have questions about the “alphabet soup” of library conferences – for instance, what’s the difference between CARL, ACRL and CLA? Which conference covers my area, by topic and/or geographically? What steps would I take to present at a conference?

An upcoming LAUC-R program titled A Dim Sum* of Conferences will address these and other questions.

The program will be held on Wednesday, July 24, from 1:30 – 3:00 pm in Rivera Library, Room 140. 

At this informal panel-like discussion, LAUC-R members will share their knowledge and experiences regarding conferences at which they have recently presented, including ACRL, CARL, CLA, CNI, DLF, LILi … and more! Light refreshments will be served.

This program is a collaboration between the LAUC-R Programs Committee and the LAUC-R Research & Professional Development Committee.

Join us to gain insight for choosing your own “heart’s delight” of conference opportunities that may further your professional growth.
