Greetings Colleagues,

I trust you're well. Today I'm celebrating chemist Percy Julian. Born in 1899, he grew up in Alabama, where two of his grandparents had been slaves and where Jim Crow laws were undergirded by violence. Julian was one of the great scientists of the 20th century. In a 40-year chemistry career, he made many valuable discoveries, was awarded dozens of patents, 18 honorary degrees, and membership to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences-the second African-American so honored.

LIVE ON-LINE WEBINARS - Thursday, April 14, 1:00 ET and Tuesday, April 19, 1:00 ET

OK Ladies and Gents, Now let's get in formation - Thursday, April 14, 1:00 ET
Description: Social Media use continues to spike as an online outreach platform. It's convenience in sharing information, engaging other users, and providing and receiving feedback has created connections among the library community. The HBCU Library Alliance launched a Facebook page and blog in February https://www.facebook.com/hbculibraryalliance1/. Tasha Lucas-Youmans, Bethune-Cookman University (FL) is Board liaison for this project.

Join us and offer input and feedback on the usefulness and needed enhancements of the page. Share with us your institution's and library's use of social media. We will also invite your involvement in the HBCU Library Alliance Social Media project. Be sure to forward this messaging to your social media colleagues.

Presenter: Brandolyn Love is a librarian at the J.S. Flipper Library at Allen University in Columbia, South Carolina. She obtained her BA in Communications from Winston Salem State University and went on to complete a Masters in Library and Information Sciences from Drexel University. Brandolyn also completed her Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership from Regent University. In addition to librarianship, she is the Editor of Allen University's social media, Chair of the Library Committee, and presently serves as the Advisor of the Voices of Praise student organization on the campus. Brandolyn participated in the HBCU Library Alliance Leadership Program as an Exchange Librarian, hosted by Mary Jo Fayoyin at Savannah State University (GA).

Registration: Paste this link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8GGCVJN into your address bar and register no later than Tuesday, April 12th. Registrants will receive log-in information on Wednesday, April 13th.

Free-for-All - Moving from OERs to an Institutional Repository - the Savannah State University Case Study - Tuesday, April 19, 1:00 ET

Description: This webinar will describe how building on their success in engaging faculty in the use of Open Educational Resources, Savannah State University's librarians developed the "Tiger Scholar Commons", an open source institutional repository in 2014. As they engaged faculty, Savannah State University librarians recognized that key issues in promoting the institutional repository are those of author rights and copyright. It is hoped that the Savannah State University experience provides a framework for other small institutions interested in encouraging buy-in from faculty and students-who are concerned with author rights and copyright - to archive and share their scholarly, instructional and educational output in an institutional repository.

Learning Outcomes: After this training, webinar participants will have skill sets to:

```
   Recruit, build and grow collections
```

   Share the benefits of institutional repositories to faculty and students

   Understand the author and copyright issues associated with institutional repositories

   Identify resources to assist in developing an institutional repository.

Suggested Attendees: Librarians and staff interested in establishing or expanding an institutional repository.

Instructor: Mary Jo Fayoyin is the Dean of Library Services at Savannah State University and the Past Chair of the HBCU Library Board of Directors. In addition to her duties as chief librarian, Ms. Fayoyin, who was promoted from Director to Dean in 2013, has as her responsibilities oversight of the Audio-Visual Center, Archives, and Coordinator of Distance Learning. Earlier career appointments include Director of Library Services (Waycross College); tenured faculty member and coordinator Library Media Education, School of Education, Fairmont State University; and Catalog Librarian, Fairmont State University.

Recently Mary Jo was recognized as an Affordable Learning Georgia Champion. In 2014 she worked with the Director of the Center for Academic Success and the First-Year Experience Faculty Coordinator to transform the First-Year Experience course materials from a $70 commercial textbook to a $0 open textbook. As of fall 2014, the required course with over 1400 students enrolled per year now saves students $70 in textbook costs, which is nearly $100,000 annually in estimated student savings.
