FORUMS

  1. Bob Strauss

  2. Scott and Audrey re: LMS Migration
    - The LMS Migration forum will be held on May 23.
    - We expect this forum to be more of a discussion rather than a presentation. SCOPA members are encouraged to think of questions to ask prior to the forum.

  3. YUL Budget
    - Dajin is in contact with Paul Conway and Max Marmor about setting a date.
    - The forum is still scheduled to take place before the end of the fiscal year, but the details are still being worked out.

  4. SCOPA Grants recipients
    - The SCOPA Grants subcommittee will work on organizing the forum featuring this year's grant recipients. The forum is tentatively scheduled for June. The subcommittee is still obtaining final documentation and reports from the grant recipients.

  5. Summer Series (featuring YUL participants)
    - Erika will send out a draft of the letter inviting select department heads to participate in the series.
    - Diane will forward Erika's announcement to LMC members and will make an announcement about the series at the following LMC meeting.

  6. Fall Series on scholarly communication
    - The forums will be scheduled over a period of four weeks at the end of October to the beginning of November.
    - The subcommittee is still working out the details of the three forums, but has determined a short list of local advisors to assist in this process.

Respectfully submitted,

Stephanie Schmitt
