Other Ideas for Activities?
Richard Page volunteered to set up and monitor a listserv for
the division titled UCDOLA-L.
Discussion of Possible UCD/OK-ACRL Merger
There was some interest on a possible merger with OK-ACRL but
there was not much support for the idea of the UCD members
present because of the differences in the overall goals of the
two groups. There was some discussion on a possible joint
meeting to discuss the merger. Overall the group would like to
take their time and allow members of both groups to voice their
feelings on the matter.
