2. ACRL Core Values Task Force Report (Jean attended the TF phone meeting: Janice Welburn is the TF chair.   The Task Force looked together at the same documents we reviewed. TF members have been sharing ideas (via email) about ideas for ethical and IF issues important to ACRL members to be managed organizationally, with a Nov. 8 deadline for this “brainstorming”.

TS meeting report continued… I’ve given them my input about our plan for this year for an online forum, which had not been on their list but has now been mentioned by one of the other TF participant’s emails. The TF report to the ACRL Board is due in mid- December, so the Board’s decision about the future shape of ACRL in terms of ethical issues and IF will be forthcoming, probably by Annual.

3. Committee Work Plan Time line. January, 2013. Open the forum for discussion. Jan. – May, 2013. Promote the forum May, 2013. Assess the success & report to ACRL board.
