December Virtual Meeting – Thurs. December 16 @ 11:00 AM

Hello, everyone!

This month’s ACRL-MD has crept up on us! We will be gathering tomorrow morning (Thurs. 12/16) at 11:00am. The Zoom link is our usual one. Agenda can be found below.

This month’s Podcast Club focuses on the topic of professional burnout, something most of us are familiar with, especially this time of the semester. If you would like to, please feel free to read/listen to one of the resources below, but it is very much not a requirement. Or just come to share your own experiences with professional burnout and how you combat it!

The full agenda:

  • Introductions
  • Conference Updates
  • ACRL MD Work Plan Progress
  • Podcast Club discussion: Professional Burnout

Virtual Meeting – November 18, 11:00 AM

The Maryland chapter of ACRL will be holding their November meeting next Thursday, November 18 at 11AM on Zoom. In addition to our usual business, this will also be the first gathering of our Podcast Club. For more information and the link to this month’s podcast, check out this post.

Here is the full agenda for the meeting:

  • Introductions
  • Approve October minutes
  • MLA Conference Updates (it might be cool to share the programs to drum up interest)
  • Social Committee update
  • Work Plan
  • Professional Development – Podcast Club! Listen to this before the meeting

Hope to see you there!

Join our podcast club!

Looking for an easy way to do some professional development and join a timely discussion? If you have 20 minutes, you can participate in our new podcast club.

This month we are listening to an episode from Hear to Slay, a podcast by Roxane Gay and Tressie McMillan Cottom. “We Don’t Have The Same Job” discusses Blacks in Academia with guest Patricia Matthew, Associate Professor of English at Montclair State University. Click here to listen to the full episode. Don’t have an hour? Check out this 20-minute abridged version.

We will discuss this common-listen at our November meeting on Thursday, November 18 at 11:00.

We’re going back-to-school (again!)

We had so much fun learning from LIS students and new grads last year, and we want more! ACRL MD welcomes current LIS students and recent graduates to share what is happening now in the world of library science. Present a new idea, project or professional interest that excites you and could inspire your peers a bit farther removed from current graduate studies. In return for this generous peer sharing, presenters can build local connections, identify collaborators and bolster CV’s in a collegial online environment.

Who: YOU! Current students and new grads (18 mos. post graduation)

What: A low-key 10 minute presentation on a topic you are excited about

Possible topics could include:

  • Discussing your research or a recent project
  • Emerging LIS ideas that resonate with you
  • New considerations for instruction, access or collection development
  • Innovative IT for every user
  • The awesome archives of tomorrow
  • Your vision of the future of librarianship
    -Truly, ANYTHING that has your attention is worth sharing!

When: During our virtual monthly meeting held the third Friday of each month at 11am EST

Why: Because you’re brilliant, that’s why!

How: Submit your interest and availability on this form.

We accept your ideas on a rolling basis all year long. Questions? email Bria Sinnott at bsinnott@towson.edu

October Virtual Meeting – October 21 @ 11:00 AM

Our October meeting will take place on Thursday, October 21 at 11:00. We’ll be gathering in our regular virtual meeting space, which you can access via this link. Please consider joining us!

Librarians at any stage of their career are encouraged to apply.
