At our last meeting, information literacy assessment was mentioned as a future topic for discussion.
The group also expressed an interest in bringing in other speakers for future meetings, due to the success of Leslie and Curt's presentation.

Tell your colleagues and bring a friend! I look forward to seeing you all on December 8th!

Welcome to the New CJARL Blog!

Welcome to the new CJARL Blog! This can be a place for information sharing about meetings and events; a place for discussions to blossom; and generally a great way to build our Central Jersey Academic Reference Librarian community online! Please feel free to post comments with ideas on how you'd like to see this blog function for our group. (We can talk more about that at a future meeting as well!) Stay tuned!

October 20, 2006 Meeting Recap

Leslie Kahn and Curt Idrogo, from the Newark Public Library, gave a presentation on NPL's array of statewide services available to NJ libraries at our October meeting. The presetation was wonderfully informative!
The group also discussed...BLOGS! Some members are already using blogs internally, as staff communication mechanisms. We look forward to exploring this topic further at future meetings to learn how other academic libraries are approaching the issue.
