At the meeting yesterday, we thought that it might be good for the next meetings to take two forms: a brief skillshare/presentation and then a discussion. We thought that the topic for our next meeting could be to discuss our goals with OA overall and throughout CUNY. Does anyone have suggestions for a skillshare or presentation, or would anyone be willing to lead this first educational/information sharing component of the meeting?

I was thinking perhaps it might make the most sense for the first presentation to be a quick and dirty OA 101 presentation (something like 10 things you should know about OA, or something of the like?)… but I also think that the best topic (or the real trick) might be the one for which we have a willing presenter!

FWIW, I can make it 1/2 hour earlier but not 1 hour earlier.

We could start at 2:30 pm and try to wrap up by 4 pm.

[Jill Cirasella (she/her)]

I’d be happy to do 2:30 to 4 instead. Unless it would cause a problem with publicity that’s already gone out (signs, etc.)?

[Marcos Wasem]

It works for me as well.

[Polly Thistlethwaite]

Looks like the Grad Center Reading Room is free 2.30 – 4. I’ll reserve it for then.

[Alycia Sellie (she/her/they)]

Ok–I’ll update our signs, and just changed this post: http://openaccess.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2012/01/19/the-oa-cuny-ongoing-meetup/

See you all Friday!

[Maura A. Smale (she/her)]

Hi everyone, I might be a bit late to the meeting as I have a meeting at City Tech that ends at 2pm. But I’ll be there!
Best,
Maura
