Question about new members on the steering committee
by Flewelling, Debra 04 Mar '17

04 Mar '17

Hello, I've heard from Shawnna Parlongo again and she still wants to volunteer and unfortunately I forgot to include her for the training with the mediawiki refresher. We also need to discuss what we are specifically adding to the mediawiki so I thought we should ask her to join the Steering Committee and then she would be part of that discussion. So is it okay to just add people to the Steering Committee if they are committed to do work with our group? Also, Karen Meijer-Kline, the Scholarly Communications Librarian at Kwantlen would like to join the BCOEL Steering Committee. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Debra Debra Flewelling Open Education & Emerging Technologies Librarian T 604.527.5190 F 604.527.5193 Debra.Flewelling(a)douglascollege.ca<mailto:Debra.Flewelling(a)douglascollege.ca> [Description: logo_2012_for_email_signature77172]
