SCIL
Works
SCIL Works 2008 will take place on January
25th, 2008, at the Libraries of the Claremont Colleges. Claremont is
not charging a fee for the location, so food will be SCILŐs only cost. The
registration fee is still being determined. Registration for SCIL Works will
begin soon. Dominique Turnbow is in charge of the program, and a request was
made for her to send information about the selected proposals to the SCIL steering
list.
Discussion: Last year, SCIL paid all presentersŐ registration fees. Concern
arose when an unexpected number of presenters showed up at the event. Should
SCIL continue to comp presentersŐ registration costs? Should the number of
presenters be limited? Consensus was that SCIL should not limit the number of
presenters at SCIL Works, but should only comp two registration fees for each
session. The two free registrations will be given to the first two presenters
listed on each selected proposal. This policy will go into effect for SCIL
Works 2009.
VI. New Business
a.
SCIL
Web Site
CARL would like to host all interest group
web sites on its own server, so the SCIL Web site will be transferred over from
its current URL. Duffy Tweedy, the SCIL Webmaster, will oversee this process.
There was consensus that it would be best to complete the transfer before
registration begins for SCIL Works 2008.
b.
CARL
Conference
Update from Debbi Renfrow (serving as 2008
CARL Conference Chair): The 2008 CARL conference will be held in Irvine in
April. Proposals have been selected, and the conference Web site will be up
soon. Registration costs will be increasing to $275 for CARL members (regular
registration), and $375 for non-CARL-members/late registration (through March).
Fees will include all sessions, all pre-conferences, and lunches and snacks
during the conference.
c.
SCIL
E-mail Lists
There was a question about how often the SCIL e-mail lists are updated with new
SCIL member information. We need to make sure that all SCIL members are added
to the SCIL steering listserv. Kimberley Wilcox will talk to Debbi Renfrow,
Dominique Turnbow, Marsha Schnirring, and Duffy Tweedy to figure out how to
streamline this process.
