The Digital Public Library of America webinar

Thanks to our terrific speakers- Polly-Alida Farrington, Geoff Kirkpatrick and Emily Thompson-and to you- for making the 2013 CDLC Annual Meeting a success. We welcomed approximately 80 attendees to The Century House on November 19th.  As part of the Enjoy One, Share One meal program, attendees contributed nearly 80 meals to the Northeast Regional Food Bank. 

At the meeting Kathy Corbett, Office Services & Bibliographic Assistant, was recognized for 30 years of service at CDLC. Sue Rahn, Catalog Librarian, celebrated 25 years with CDLC. Thank you Kathy and Sue for the wonderful service you provide!

This week, the Regional Automation Advisory Committee (RAAC) and the CDLC Board of Trustees meet. The Committee on Resource Sharing (CORS) next meets on January 8th to continue planning for CDLC Resource Sharing Field Day on May 7th. 

Susan D'Entremont, our Regional Archivist, is interested in offering programs for religious institutions on caring for their archival records. Tentatively, the first program will be a panel discussion consisting of people, whether paid or volunteer, who work with their institutions' records. We know people representing Christian denominations who might be on this panel and are seeking representatives of Jewish, Hindu and Muslim institutions. If you know of anyone from these faith traditions that you think might have connections or interest in archives/libraries/special collections of their faith communities, please let Susan know. 

Jennifer Anderson and Regina Vertone from The Sage Colleges presented  "Streamlining Writing and Research with Citation Managers" at the Upstate New York Special Libraries Association Fall Conference in Fayetteville, NY on November 8th.
