Greetings Colleagues,

I trust you're well.  Today I'm celebrating minister and social activist Benjamin E. Mays, who was born in 1894 to tenant farmers and former slaves. He served as president of Morehouse College from 1940 to 1967.  Mays also served as advisor to Presidents Johnson and Carter, and on the Atlanta Board of Education. He joined the ancestors in 1984.
July 22 Board Meeting Highlights
HBCU Financials

By June 30, 2014, eighty-two members had remitted FY14 dues totaling $79,330.36. As of June 30, 2015, seventy-four members have remitted FY15 dues totaling $71,111.85. The HBCU Library Alliance Sun-Trust Account balance as of June 30 is $116,538.89. FY 16 July billing has been processed and forwarded to members. Several members responded to the "early invoice" request to use remaining library budget funds to pay HBCU Library Alliance membership dues.
The current Mellon Foundation project, Expanding Library Support for Faculty Research, provides 75% of the Executive Director's salary through August. HBCU Library Alliance funds will be used for 100% of the salary expense through January 2016. If no other funding sources are in effect by February 1, 2016, the Executive Director's position will be re-scoped to half-time.
2015 Board Election

Members in good standing elected the following directors for a three-year (July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2018) term.

Rinalda Farrar, Lincoln University (MO) - At-Large
Judith Rogers, University of the Virgin Islands - Public
Monika Rhue, Johnson C. Smith University (NC) - Private

Board orientation was provided to both Rinalda and Judith with a focus on sustainability and future planning.  A press release has been approved for distribution.

Expanding Library Support for Faculty Research in HBCU's
The project aims to assess and strengthen library services in support of faculty research and involves a partnership with the HBCU Faculty Development Network.  A no-cost extension was approved by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation through August 2015. Remaining grant funds as of June 30 total $16,303.90.

Board Chair Mantra Henderson and I presented a well-attended poster session at ALA in San Francisco, CA.

Thirteen webinars in support of the Educational Programming grant component and two sub-grant reports have been presented. Webinar evaluations have been favorable, several highly favorable. A few comments are listed below.

"So much content and substance to the webinar! As soon as I reviewed my notes from the webinar, I called a quick meeting and shared what we were 'doing right' and the potential to do even more in our various roles which include 'liaison librarian responsibilities'. Also, since we all want to keep the cost down for our students, we plan to take steps (baby steps) to see how we can lead the charge or partner with professors to move in the direction of free online textbooks for our students."

"Excellent interactions among the participants! Also, I appreciated that all the points were not covered in one session because the content and participation may not have been the same. (It might have been a rush job). Looking forward to others."

"I enjoyed the presentation. I learned more about the HBCU faculty survey. The video and comments on showing faculty how librarians and library services can help them fulfill their goals were useful. The presentation provided good starting points for expanding the discussion on faculty and librarian interaction and ways to show faculty how important librarians are in helping them fulfill their research goals."

Elizabeth Jean Brumfield, Prairie View A&M (TX) and I will present a poster session on the project at the upcoming National Council of African American Librarians conference in St. Louis, MO.

Preservation of Photographic Images and Magnetic Media

The Mellon Foundation-funded project aims to support preservation of local photographic and magnetic media collections, increase their use in scholarly endeavors and encourage student engagement. This is the third and final round of funding for this project. Project participants AUC Woodruff (GA), Fisk (TN), Hampton (VA), Johnson C. Smith (NC) and Tuskegee (AL) have each selected two eight-week project interns. The project interns attended the June 10-17 Summer Institute at the University of Delaware. Interns have taken their plans for outreach back to their institutions and will continue their efforts.  An article published on the University of Delaware website about the Summer Institute is at: http://www.udel.edu/udaily/2015/jun/photograph-conservation-062415.html

Wayne State University "Increasing Library Diversity"
The Alliance is partnering with Wayne State on a 2013 Laura Bush 21st Century Library Program for the project "Increasing Library Diversity." Mentors have been recruited from the Alliance membership.  Marvelyn Thomas, AUC Woodruff HR Director, is mentor consultant. Mentors and mentees travelled to ALA in San Francisco and participated in activities including a vision board-walk, discussions on diversity and future career goals.

Open Education Resources as a funding opportunity

Mary Jo Fayoyin and Mantra Henderson are gathering information and researching funders for a possible Open Education Resource project. Open Education Resources are teaching, learning, and research resources in the public domain or that have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge. Mary Jo received an award from the Board of Regents for her work with Savannah State's Open Education Resource initiative.

Pulse: The Official Blog of the HBCU Library Alliance

The Pulse Committee is chaired by Tasha Lucas-Youmans. A Facebook fan page will be created to generate interest in the HBCU Library Alliance and drive viewers to the blog. The blog will include a Chair's corner, Executive Director's corner, librarian's perspective section, library development section and a library news section. As part of the initial post, the committee will invite members to post photographs of their libraries. The membership will also be invited to participate in "Throwback Thursdays" and post "throwback" photographs from their archives and special collections in an effort to draw interest in those departments. Pulse is expected to launch in late August.

Contact me directly if you have questions or need additional information.

Respectfully,

Thanks Sandra for the update.

Fascinating story about Benjamin Mays. Your updates on various luminaries that have touched both our HBCU members and by extension the community served by HBCU and the community beyond the consortium I find interesting. It is part of my daily reading.  If you have a wikipedia article that you find adds more depth and background to your highlights, consider including them in your emails!

I believe you also included in one of your emails that the dues payments are steadily coming in. Fingers crossed that every one ‘re-ups’.

Best,

R
