Members Roundtable
Please prepare a brief report about your organization that includes the following
(these should be no more than 7 minutes long!):
a. major developments from the past year
b. your organization's current biggest challenge
c. any changes in the types of information that patrons/clients are seeking
d. anything else you want to say (in less than 7 minutes...)
non-attendees should consider sending a report either to the CIRL e-mail list or directly
to Suzanne <sac29@cornell.edu> to report on at the meeting.

Refreshment Break [sponsored by Washington Area Labor Information Specialists (WALIS)]
3:15-4:00 (carry-over from last year's meeting)
Collaborative Creation of an Industrial and Labor Relations Search Engine by
CIRL
Purpose: To create a customized search engine that will aggregate many of the
freely available web resources deemed relevant and valuable to labor relations
researchers in order to narrow the retrieval from doing an open web search.
[more details were sent out via e-mail agenda]
4:00-4:15pm
CIRL web site
The web site needs to move from its current content management system (hosted
by Cornell ILR). The ILR School is willing to continue hosting, but the site
would have to be presented within the frame of the Cornell ILR School, which is
not ideal. Suzanne will present the details and some of our options.
4:15-4:50pm
Digitizing Labor-Related Materials (including possible show-and-tell)
Many of our institutions have established Digital Registries for collections
that
meet defined criteria, but are there other ways that we should be cooperating
or communicating with each other about digitization projects? Let's start this
discussion. At the minimum, please bring with you information about any digitization
projects that you might be considering, so we can use these as examples to establish
what we're actually talking about.
[more details were sent out via e-mail agenda]
4:50-5:00pm
Wrap-up and adjourn
5:00pm - ??
Dinner
We will go directly to dinner, following the meeting. The restaurant is expecting
us to be there before 6pm. It is a 7-block walk from the CWA building.
