AGENDA

We meet via Zoom on Wednesday, June 24, 2020. We did not have an 
agenda. People shared about what was happening at their institu-
tion and any personal things as well.

YEAR IN REVIEW

Karl noted that Elkhart County is a hot spot for Covid-19, so that 
might have an impact on the fall. The library did continue to be open 
to employees and students after the school went online in March.

They are working on more digitization projects on some of their 
monograph series.

Eileen is enjoying retirement, but also working on a project for 
Spanish-language Anabaptist/Mennonite resources—Biblioteca Digi-
tal Anabautista. She is working at looking into copyright for these 
resources.

Vic shared about CMU going online. They will be offering hybrid 
classes in the fall. Library techs and assistants were furloughed, and

they had to be very careful about making sure they did no work at the 
time. The library is considering purchasing more e-books for the fall.

Katharine was glad to have Atla Annual online. She has authored 
some chapters in the e-books published by Atla Open Press. Many 
libraries in Europe have moved to Koha as their integrated library 
system, so she has been doing webinars on Koha.

Jennifer shared that the EMU library is moving to TIND as its inte-
grated library system. The library staff were able to work from the 
building, but it has been closed since March. Persons can request 
materials for pick up and staff are doing a lot of scanning. Most, 
but not all, graduate programs will be online while the undergrad 
students will be back on campus in the fall.
