Subject: notes from my virtual attendance at the SIG CR business meeting

People had trouble finding the location for the meeting. Four showed up and they retired to the bar.
Melissa, Emma, Jonathan and Barbara.

This is our chat conversation.


Melissa:  Hi Kathryn
 Sent at 3:51 PM on Monday
 me:  greetings!
saw the emails
what a nightmare
 Melissa:  We finally found each other, but now we only have about 5 minutes
 me:  thanks for being willing to keep CR going I say retire to the PUB?
!!
we'll set up an online meeting
please be safe
and take care
 Melissa:  ha! ok!
we're talking about the theme of AI
 me:  I owe both you and Emma (and whoever else showed up) a drink next time I see you  Sent at 3:53 PM on Monday
 Melissa:  barbara and jonathan are here
 me:  ah
good
tell them hello and wish them well for me I'm worried about all of you
 Melissa:  do you have ideas for panels?
they say hi back :)
 me:  One of the things that was being discussed in the HFIS sessino was interest in collaborating with CR for foundations panels revisiting seminal papers - especially those that can inform current issues
 Melissa:  people like that
 me:  there was some talk of trying to bridge discussions like this into edited volumes for publication in the asist DL for example like the readings in IR series I'd love to see us build on the themes identified from the workshop and get those panels into the main session
 Melissa:  we're switching rooms. still reading your texts
 me:  at the cabinet meeting SIGs were told that this year's conference organizers did not communicate with HQ and many other people and that the SIG director was also left out of the loop this will not be the case for next year and the year following I am SIG cabinet director so it most certainly will not happen!

 Melissa:  awesome. thats great. i'm typing on yhe escalator  Sent at 4:02 PM on Monday
 me:  our main strategy should be to identify folks that can get to Montreal and to be sure to invite our Canadian colleagues who will anchor this conference even those who are not ASIST members ISKO folks Jonathan and Barbara will have advice there
 Melissa:  michele hudon
 me:  Clement Arsenault
 Melissa:  bilingual thesauri
 me:  yes
absolutely
and Elaine Menard
 Melissa:  claire bechtolt
 me:  yes
most definitely JE Mai
Nancy Williamson might even be encouraged to attend I think if we build panels that are anchored by these folks, we will have a strong showing
 Melissa:  grant and margaret kipp
 me:  yes
Montreal is why Rebecca Green and I convinced Grant to be the incoming chair that year!
 Melissa:  ah!
 Sent at 4:07 PM on Monday
 Melissa:  so back to themes for workshops and/or panels gender
 me:  definitely
that would showcase a lot of new talent (including you!)
 Melissa:  ethics
 me:  new as in newly minted
 Melissa:  just organization system
 me:  I like these ideas!
would be nice to bring the Ethics of IO to ASIST
 Melissa:  i agree!!
what about teaching classification?
linked data, etc., barriers to teaching this, e.g. programming
 me:  yes
definitely
Richard and a number of us have wanted to bring this forward have had panels rejected at ASIST with this issue
 Melissa:  luann freund
 me:  but worth trying
 Melissa:  interaction with taxonomies
 me:  Louise Spiteri
 Melissa:  huh. ok
 me:  Canadians
 Melissa:  yes
 me:  Just found the ISKO montreal ToC
so any discussion about the workshop?
Sentiment for wither it should be every other eyar?
 Melissa:  we seem to be talking about both at the same time
 me:  (cant type - cat sitting on my hand)
 Melissa:  ah
 Sent at 4:14 PM on Monday
 Melissa:  i just asked them
discussing
 me:  Lynne Howarth, Ali Shiri, -- two more canadians  Sent at 4:15 PM on Monday
 Melissa:  alternating with nasko?
what do you think?
 me:  yes
definitely
next NASKO is June 2013
announcement coming out as soon as the dust settles from ASIST June 13-14 in Milwaukee  Sent at 4:18 PM on Monday
 Melissa:  everyone thinks we should alternate
 me:  wonderful!
 Melissa:  maybe have an alternate one
virtual, to keep continuity
 me:  I'd really like to see that
more workshops virtually
more often than once a year
at GSLIS
I can use the Blackboard / Elluminate software for free and host CR meetings anytime we have a dedicated tech staff and a 1800 number for participants to call
 Melissa:  barbara says yes
 me:  this supports recording and such
 Melissa:  that sounds fabulous
 me:  so much better than the windows based stuff asist gives us for a fee
 Melissa:  ok
 me:  though they won't charge for a business meeting Jane will put out a doodle poll for officers and others who missed all this to talk.
I've been in touch with Richard
about his presentation that we ran out of time to have presented by his doc student he is planning to have this be the first workshop broadcast for CR
 Melissa:  ah.
 me:  probably not live
but everyone will get the link to it
and get us started thinking about what we'd like to see next.
Get the party started if you will
I'll capture this chat and send it on to Jane for the virtual meeting anything else I can do?
 Melissa:  barbara is concerned that richard's might not be the best first one  Melissa is typing...
