Attendance

It has been difficult
to accommodate the absences from previous TMLGAC meetings with up to 5
students missing a meeting. Different meeting times during the day, or
giving optional times to meet has been proposed. Emily will be more
consistent with updating the Facebook page more with meeting dates and will be
more flexible with the meeting times regarding mid-terms and finals for the
March and April meetings.

Types of Programming
i)
Many types of
programming were suggested to promote goals of lifelong learning. These
ranged from online, asynchronous tutorials for CE credit to workshops
on financial aid. Many of the programs have to potential for the library
to partner with another VCU entities including the Writing Center, CCTR, etc.
The library will be investigating many of these mentioned programs to see
if many of them could be offered through the library.

It is essential for the

advertise on Facebook and through the VCU Calendar. Thank you for sharing
contacts you receive emails from in your school. This will help us
advertise our programs directly to the schools.
