Good afternoon,
I just wanted to send out a last-minute reminder that you are welcome to register for the ACRL Image Resources Interest Group meeting taking place this Wednesday, February 10, at 1 pm CT on Zoom. While we had originally hoped to host lightning talks by image resources practitioners, it seems like many folks are all tapped out on giving Zoom talks at this point in the pandemic. Thus, following our short business meeting with updates about IRIG (including renewing our status as an interest group through ALA) and the work of the latest ACRL Visual Literacy Task Force, I'll give a short presentation about the survey data I collected in relation to an article I recently had published in VRA Bulletin about image resources for studio art students and faculty during the pandemic. We will close with open discussion time among members in attendance. Anyone interested in image resources in higher education information contexts is welcome to attend!
Additionally, we will be looking for volunteers interested in serving as the 2021-2022 incoming convener for IRIG in the coming months. This role is limited to current ACRL members and consists of a three-year term (the 2021-2022 incoming convener will serve as the 2022-2023 convener and 2023-2024 past convener). If you are interested in IRIG and want to learn more about this role, attending the business meeting is a great idea!
